If you set trust depth to 2, you will likely be ended up trusting the feedback of most of the forum users.
That's wrong, as shown by my Trust depth viewer.
When we set it 0, we are only trusting feedback directly from our custom trust list. When we set it 1, we trust their trust list and with setting it 2, aren't we going more deep?
Depth 2 is deeper than Depth 1, but that doesn't mean it's "most of the forum users".
We had feedback score which wasn't simply the number of positive, negative and neutral feedbacks. It was a score calculated by an algorithm which many found complicated.
Correct. But the Trust system with Trust Depths was the same, except for voting for DT1.
Checking the number of custom trust list now vs old would be the evidence but I don't have it.
Having a custom Trust list doesn't necessarily mean the user understands the system. I've seen far too many examples of including users for the wrong reasons.
