Which is why i've said many times that we need a reputation trust system and a trade trust system. At least if we had 2 different systems we would have more things to complain about as people would misuse 2 systems instead of 1.

You bet! The current trust system already leaves some folks scratching their heads. Can you imagine the chaos if we introduced another layer of complexity with a second one? Grin

You'll end up with cases where someone gives positive feedback for a successful trade in the trade trust system, and negative feedback in the reputation trust system because he thinks the other guy is an asshole. I'll order the popcorn Tongue

Yes, its already an overly complex system -- I agree that any additions would just create unnecessary complications. Some people continue to fail to grasp the difference between trust ratings and inclusions/exclusions, despite there being plenty of educational resources out there and years worth of banter about how they should be used.

Liar or not, I have been trying to be a little more mindful of who I tag these days. Since we don't have an appropriate trust system for reputation, I think we misuse the current system. What other choice do we have though? Alts of banned people get tagged, someone doesn't like someone else and a tag happens, or a guy cheated a campaign, or 100 other reasons.

Also seems to be the case. The trust system has taken on a special significance here because (from what I understand) it is used by campaign managers to help differentiate applicants. But at the end of the day I'm a firm believer that it should only be used to indicate trade risk and not as a tool to silence critics or promote friends.
