Sigh...Although not related at all to Timelord2067 / hilariousetc anyone here this is something I posted 3 years ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154576The trust / feedback section is a flaming pile of dog poo at the moment.
I don't care if hilariousetc is a transphobe or homophobe or whatever. I care that if I send them
BTC I get what I was supposed to get or if I send him something I get my
BTC.
THAT IS TRUST.
Now if hilariousetc is a transphobe or homophobe or whatever I might not want to deal with them because I disagree with their beliefs. THAT IS FEEDBACK.
Sadly here, no matter how many times it's discussed it's combined into one thing so we have the "leave a neutral" which and lets be honest here. Just about nobody reads.
FOLLOWED by, since it's not visible on many boards, we may or may not ever see it.
If you spent 100% of your time on the main bitcoin discussion and tech boards you would never know the trust system was there since it's not shown.
Does it matter. Yes, I think it should be everywhere. But once again, that's me and as a realist it's not going to change.
