I totally get what yahoo62278 is trying to point out. These trust lists and distrust lists are closely tied to trust feedback (whether it’s positive, neutral, or negative). Without trust from others elevating you to DT1, your feedback doesn’t hold much weight for most users.  So, if someone on DT1 is known for giving out “inaccurate feedback” that can damage another member’s reputation,  it reflects poorly on the entire DT network and undermines its purpose.

Honestly, that can be even more detrimental than scamming, as it can ripple through and affect the whole forum.

Isn’t the main role of DT to prevent or reduce scams? Feedback should ideally be reserved for actual cases of scams or clear violations. Inaccurate feedback risks unjustly labeling someone as untrustworthy, weakening the integrity of the system.

Feedback should be reserved for successful deals and failed deals.

Respectfully speaking, all of those positive feedbacks about "good community member" and neutrals about "bad poster" will not do us any good. If you ask me, it should only be those feedbacks pertaining to deals that are shown in the trust score, because that is what matters the most.
