Re: If someone is a proven liar, do they deserve to be given negative trust?

- Leave positive ratings if you actively think that trading with this person is safer than with a random person.
- Leave negative ratings if you actively think that trading with the person is less safe than with a random person.
- Unstable behavior could very occasionally be an acceptable reason for leaving negative trust, but if it looks like you're leaving negative trust due to personal disagreements, then that's inappropriate. Ratings are not for popularity contests, virtue signalling, punishing people for your idea of wrongthink, etc.

I think it is natural for a human to feel "less safe" with someone in a trade if they see that person as a known liar.
Personally, I'd rather trade, and would have a slightly safer feeling, with people I see as honest and having integrity, when compared to a random person.
Of course, I'd have my own criteria on the types of lies that might make me feel less safe trading with someone, and others may have their own criteria.
It's a subjective peer-reviewed system which can carry consequences within the system from those peers.. socially, financially and otherwise... similar to a reality TV-like social drama clusterfuck.
