It's 1 year and 1+ months I joined this great forum. I have learnt many things in the forum, but when it comes to the issue of trust list and feedback, I didn't care to use them because I believed that;
1. Since I don't trade or offer services for now, I don't need it.
2. Since I am not a DT1 or DT2, my trust list wouldn't matter or count.
But few weeks ago, after I created
My fears about forum trust system. I got the replies below from LoyceV and 1miau, which gave me the conviction to start using the trust system.
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 didn't know that a fellow without a feedback from DT1 or DT2 can have a stake in the trust system.
Well, not directly. But with 10+ earned Merit, you can have a vote, and with 250+ earned Merit, you can have a big vote for DT1.
If you use the Trust system correctly, eventually someone will include you and your feedback becomes more meaningful to others.
And when you have some time, I encourage you to read about trust because in my opinion, it's very important for the forum to get rid of abusers. The more people are using trust and creating their trust list, the better it's getting for Bitcointalk because it's getting more difficult to abuse.
Thanks LoyceV for the thread, though it's a beginner's guide and this night I consider myself a beginner and I have benefited by knowing the difference between trust feedback and trust list and the correct use of the trust system.
