In addition, we also have flags now, which are even more unknown to some of our uninterested / shitposting forum members.
Ugh, those flags. Just my unsolicited opinion here, but those just complicate an already byzantine system of trust feedback.
...
Agreed, trust flags are even more confusing.
And as you've said: an overly complicated system will be used less, for example when a member has been scammed (type 2 and 3 flag) but doesn't know how to proceed.
Maybe displaying trust for everyone (no need to be logged it) and in every section would be a better idea?
I would also be in support of it, to remove flags completely and re-introduce a warning message under the trust score
"Warning, trade with extreme caution", as it has been handled previously.
Flags are much more complicated but sure, for our current DT flag selections + DT trust feedback we have more options to apply for scammers and different abuses.
