- Leave negative ratings if you actively think that trading with the person is less safe than with a random person.

Let's not stir around it: you're talking about JollyGood. I took a random number between 3 and 3.5 million: 3302703. You can't honestly believe trading with JollyGood is less safe than trading with m.wizinger!

Anyway, OP, you better take these trust things patiently and not get too emotionally involved. I'm telling you from experience.

There is a Thick-Skinned Gang Leader on the forum that we should all learn from in this regard, me included.

This is what I told OP:

My advice: stay out of the forum drama.

He's doing the opposite.

Dishonest = not trustworthy.

Everybody lies, it's part of social behaviour. That doesn't necessarily make someone untrustworthy.

Like LoyceV said in the other thread, no one can stop you from leaving any kind of trust you want, but in doing so you can't expect other people to agree with your interpretation of appropriate use of the trust system.

Let me put it this way: if OP reaches DT2 and still abuses the Trust system by then, I'll exclude him.

Yes, the experience with JollyGood is where my curiosity has stemmed from.

I didn't want to carry over the drama to here, as I was wondering without involving that situation.

If someone got negative trust for lying, the trust rating of the majority of this forum would be in the red. It's not correct to use the trust system in situations unrelated to trading in this way.

I suppose you are right. However that also a pretty big fact to drop...that the majority of this forum would be in negative trust because lying is apparently so common..

Sounds pretty terrible when you word it properly, ey?

It has become annoying that the trust system has been used for personal ambitions rather than trading in this forum for a long time.

If it's been happening for a long time then there is obviously a blurry line that needs to be corrected.

Anyhow, thank you all for your opinions. It has been good to get so much perspective.
