So you hinder me from rating people that I do business with.
Or you hinder me from doing business from people I previously rated.
There seems to be some misunderstanding or confusion here.
Rating (sending feedback to) people who are unlikely to scam (positive) or high-risk (negative) is the primary use of the trust system and directly related to doing business here. Nothing that LoyceV said hinders that.
Including or excluding users in your trust list is different. You need to weigh whether the person's use of the trust system will have value to other users (at least to you and those who include you, or to the default trust system if you're in DT1). This isn't directly related to business, other than perhaps asking yourself "would this person's sent trust ratings and trust inclusions/exclusions be useful or harmful to other users trying to do business here".
It literally says so at the top of your trust list (emphasis mine): "List the users who you trust to have
good trust ratings and good trust lists, one user per line. Prefix a user's name with a tilde (~) if you want to exclude them from your trust network."
Seems quite straightforward. Don't overcomplicate it.
I am not everyone I added fits both definitions.
They deserve both positive feed back and they are trustworthy as per the definition of the trust list rules.
I added

HerbPeon
to my trust list today as all of them have done ✅ by the rules of adding to a trust list.
all of them are decent members that don’t do bad on the forum and they do a lot of good on the forum.
one of them has positive feedback for me. and it boosted me to 83 from 81.
I was very careful in reviewing them.
Now if you look at my received feedback There are a lot more that I could add to my trust list.
that look good enough to be trusted.
that is my major point about the concept of attack against og in this thread 🧵
it was used against me it was used against minerjones and it can be used against anyone that puts in any name on their trust list.
In fact I could put anyone on my trust list that is well qualifed and if they ever ever ever ever give me a positive feedback my 83 moves to 84 and i self scratched.
I ask a simple question can anyone go back in time and find my old trust list that had HerbPeon on it back in 2017 or 2016. can anyone find if I am lying or telling the truth about my old trust list I pruned it extensively due to the attack thread on me.
if you can clearly show the history or my trust list every removal an addition can you do it for every member?
If you cant have a transparent clear verifiable trust list history for every member doing these hit threads are bs.
btw does anyone have an issue with the people i added today?
