He asked me whether he could demonstrate that the Trust system is broken. I said that he could, though I didn't know exactly what he was planning, and I don't like what he's doing here. Trust isn't the right way to respond to people whose posts you dislike. If I'd have known that he was going to do this, I would have warned him that it would probably result in significant backlash...
I'm happy with the performance of the Trust system here so far. I have a few more default-untrusted negative ratings, but Inaba's default trust score went from ~5 to -261 overnight. (I did not change anything about how the Trust system works for this.)
But that happens all the time on here with no way to challenge it. Trust system isn't broken, default trust is. I mean FFS I'm red to myself.

EDIT Also consider that in your own words Inaba's default trust score went from ~5 to -261 overnight. Mind you his company and probably he by extension deserves every single red possible but what could he have done OVERNIGHT to any of these people that left him that trust? If that isn't a sign of a broken system what is? This isn't a trust system it's a popularity system.

BadBear, you(and other people do the same) are the reason why trust rating is broken.
