I have noticed that there is a trust system in this forum. From what I understand, users can obtain good and bad trust, but I don't see what the purpose of it is. Are there any repercussions of having a bad rating in the trust system?

You may see that I'm an fM, wait, it's not because of my nickname it's because of my rank, FullMember.

With the above, what I want to indicate is that you always have to be vigilant in the online world, that is, you cannot trust what you read, first you may be misinterpreting and second, the one who writes it wants you to interpret it that way.

In the real world, some may read the "Tells" and have a hint of something, but still it turns out to be scammed, even by family members. What is the point?

The trust system provided by the forum is only warning by which it should be guided; how it works, how it qualifies, etc. All that theory, in practice, does not always work as it should.

Users who have a negative DT; it only means (possibly) that by their comments inappropriate or not! they have ever bothered a person or group of people and certain ratings were given, negative comments. Point.

Point!
Point: 1 You have never argued with people in the real world or things have gone wrong, no! Well, you don't get into trouble, you go to work, you go home, every day, on weekends you go out with your family, etc.

The above is comparable here (forum) with logging in, making your posts useful, sending some merits, receiving some, reading what other users write and logout.

Point: 2 But in a forum like this there are people who do business, all kinds of businesses, sell, buy, write, think, launch Icos, services and so on, these people for these activities begin to receive DT .

Point: 3 Important, do not trust the users of point 1, they also receive their DT + or DT- either because they go to Point 2 or simply do something exceptionally good or bad.

Final Point: DT, it is a warning, an additional information item, so that you make the right decision, regarding your safety, your economic well-being, but above all so that you are happy here on the forum.

That is my personal opinion of how I use and understand it. Consider the above answers as the guidelines to follow.
