Here's the thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand about the trust system:

If you trust somebody, then leave them a positive trust.

If you trust their ability to use the trust system correctly, then include them in your trust list.


If mikeywith fits both of these categories in your opinion, then by all means, add him to your trust list!

What Og was doing was adding users to his trust list who have never left a trust rating or built a custom trust list... therefore, there's no discernible reason that anybody should add them to their trust list! Its quite obvious he was adding them on the basis that they left him a positive trust, and making them DT ups
his own trust score, which is pretty cheeseball maneuvering.

Just because you trust somebody's ability to execute trades faithfully on-forum, it does not mean that they have good judgment when it comes to knowing how to use the trust system. Someone could be highly trustworthy and be a salt-of-the-earth person IRL, but they might have terrible judgment of others and leave crap trust ratings. It happens quite a bit actually.
