My 2 satoshi: I would never force anyone to left a trust (+) on my profile or to add me in a trust list.
Let me be clear, i never asked his feedback.
BUT INSTEAD i asked questions to find out of how he buys his trust.
Mopar is a fool, who has converted my words of telling that he is corrupted and he is chasing for DT in a shady way, and used the situation against me like i was asking something.
"after several transactions and time have elapsed" WTF? Nobody is going to marry you. You are rating actual trade, not picking your life partner dude. What if new people see that you rated old member "paid on time" , what the f*ck is that mean? is that mean that newbie paid "not on time" or what is EXACT reason of why newbie was not rated of making a successful trade? What do you think the feedback is actually for? is it for "life" ? Feedback in the trade is a provenance that the goods were achieved by the successful trade, nothing else. YOU ARE NOT GRANTING THE PERSON WITH YOUR LIFE. You only saying that "he paid" , because you know why? BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE BUYER HAS TO DO - JUST PAY.
Or do you think you are responsible for someones actions , and if yes, point me to someone who took full responsibility for another person just because they had feeback to him on a random trade .
All feedback system is true monarchy scheme. Not rating the others means less opponents to have for yourself, less , members of higher ranking or less chance for yourself to be eliminated from DT. we are not idiots, again.
"your time line preference" - You could have died in those 2-3 years. Let's be realistic. And yet i am happy collector waiting for the "receipt" that i did that trade and i paid on time or at least that i paid/bought at all. I can bet if the DT member would be buying from you for the first time he would be rated in few minutes after the payment. This is a light version of "buying back" the feedback.
So let me ask you yourself: Really?
All or none, should be the right mindset. Sadly you don't have such.
I wish next time when you will be buying groceries and willing to get the receipt they would tell you "Sorry ser we give receipt only after several transactions and time have elapsed".
And do not forget to go and check if every hotel that you visited and rated well to be still operating and, also, i wish you not to find that they served some of their customers badly, because by your logic you would be responsible for that.
