Re: LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system
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.
LoyceV already pointed out, why a customized trust list would even matter for you, when you are not DT1 or DT2, because it's important to your own trust network. 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.

By adding accounts to your personal trust list, you'll see those feedbacks, no matter if those accounts are regularly DT or not.
Because you have added them as your depth 0 accounts. And these accounts are acting as DT1 for your personall trust impressions.
For example: in case you are active on the collectibles board and you have the standard DT network because you haven't set up a personalized trust list:
Customizing your DT list with accounts from the collectibles board will show you more ratings from accounts active in collectibles.
Same goes for local boards etc.
You can decide which accounts are showing a good judgement and which ones should be excluded.
By doing so, DT is getting a decentralized trust network, combining all trust lists of everyone and displaying the average, which is called DefaultTrust.
And no need to be discouraged because it's difficult to get DT2 or even DT1: everyone started without being on DT and got into DT by leaving valid feedback.
Without leaving valid feedback, there's no reason to be added to DT.
Even with your personal trust list, you can always view an account how it's looking like for standard DT: By adding ;dt
