True story.

For all the newbs, the trust system was implimented so a select few here could give each other + trust so they would all look nice & trustworthy (even if their not). The downside is the system could also be used similarly in a negative way to paint someone in a negative light simply because they have 'differing business interests' for example. I personally know of individuals on this site who are very trustworthy yet have a lot of - trust. Dont fall for it newbs...
