From an entirely practical POV, how does red-trusting a shit-stirring noob (if that's what this is; I don't understand 80% of what YOSHIE says so I can't be sure of anything here) help anything or anyone? It just gives more ammunition to shit stirring noobs. The same has been true for years with cryptohunter's sockpuppets, the same is true for any other shit-stirrer. A sockpuppet created for the sole purpose to post some nonsense (free speech FTW) isn't gonna be stopped or "learned" via red trust, and the particularly nasty ones will probably spin it as proof of whatever they're alleging. Whereas a calm factual statement in italic can carry the same warning without misusing the trust system.

I'm not gonna lecture you all on the guidelines of the trust system, from what's posted on the actual trust pages ("high risk" etc) to everything theymos has said over the years on this subject to LoyceV's blood and tears invested in his trust guide. I know we are all super smart and measuring the garage for a Lambo so we can't possibly follow any rules or advice or whatever but how about logic and common sense. Any of that left on this forum?
