Did Theymos authorise this experiment ?? explicitly targeting 2 valuable users!?
Pretty low... Josh you're a douche!
Oh and start shipping, again you're months late.
Yes and no, he authorised an experiment but didn't know what it involved. Seems happy to let others to sit in the crossfire now though :s
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.)
