We already have a discussion and most of us consider we should have a net inclusion of above 1. Higher the number of net score is safer for the system. I personally would consider anything above or equal to 3.

Thanks for pointing my attention to this thread. I will go through it and see people's opinions.

A few dollars trades, or taking short and small loans just for the sake of gaining positive trust.

That's what really happens. Some people will get a loan from Darkstar and repay in order to have a positive feedback from him. Though in most cases I have seen him place a neutral feedback instead.
What I really missed is the early days of the forum where the weight of trust is determined by how much btc trade you were able to execute. Someone pointed it out in this thread.

I have many users here that I trust their judgement, but I don't think it's worth stressing myself about.

That's unfortunate, because the Trust system can only be decentralized if enough people use it:

I am honestly unaware of this. I didn't know that a fellow without a feedback from DT1 or DT2 can have a stake in the trust system. Now I know, I'm gonna arrange my trust list.

If a group of scammers upto 50 persons are working together and one among the 50 gets a positive trust.

Prove it, and theymos can manually blacklist them from voting for DT1. See this example.

I haven't seen it happen, was just thinking aloud and being concerned. Someone has already noted that something similar happend but theymos was able to handle it.

If a group of scammers upto 50 persons are working together and one among the 50 gets a positive trust. He can in turn trust the remaining 49 scam users and they inturn trust one another. Then, the trust system would be compromised.

It is extremely unlikely that 50 members will work together on bitcointalk.

Same was my thought but a thread by Ratimov was an eye opener to me. That thread left me in awe for some time. But I have a strong believe that Ratimov was right because 85% of that farm doesn't exist in this forum today.
