No, that's not what I'm saying. You're going out of your way to misunderstand things, so this will be my last post in this thread. Whether you understand it or not, well, I can only do so much.
Honestly, I am not going out of my way to do anything.
Yes, its true that sometimes people go out of their way to farm trust through giveaways and whatever. However, that doesn't necessarily make the positive feedback they receive invalid.
Is that not a form of using money to game a system that is designed to measure the trustworthiness of a member? I am not blinded, I just see a very clear problem, that the current system allows people and entities to essentially purchase trust.
This has been a side effect of the trust system since the beginning of time. As with every other forum operation you have a complaint about, its not a perfect system. If you don't like it, don't use it. You haven't changed the way I feel about anything regarding the trust system, and in my humble opinion, the manner in which you've chosen to express your opinion won't change anybody else's mind, either.
I'm guessing that the top of the bitcointalk pyramid do not want it to change and thus another case of corruption preventing evolution. Right? Such a shame how this forum is so contradictory to what Bitcoin is all about, and how corrupt this forum is. It sees a problem, it knows a problem, but for some strange reason, doesn't want to fix the problem.
I don't expect to change how you feel, as you've made it clear many times that you are not a person who is for change or evolution and that you are quite comfortable with where you sit currently. This is common for someone who sits comfortably and high-up in a corrupt system.
As for the posts about DT, remind me how long ago that was again? Seems like you're beating an old drum just to validate what you're saying and to discredit any opinion I have about the trust system.
