What exactly does it mean to have trustworthy rep,as in when you give some rep in the marketplace it gives them a +1 and goes to trust worthy rep.Just a question that I want to know

Well it should be pretty obvious what rep is, but reputation isn't solely based on feedback scores. The +1 you speak of is the feedback trust system and it's a way to give people a score after you have done a deal involving them or if you trust them. Having a trustworthy reputation is different from trust/feedback in my opinion but you can certainly use a persons trust score to help gauge them but it shouldn't be relied on exclusively.

Do you mean trusted feedback? If so, that is a feedback that is given by a user/s which is on the default trust list. It shows +1 when you have 1 trusted positive feedback. Your trust would show red if the feedback is negative. Feedbacks that given by users which is not on default trust wont affect your trust score

The higher of + scores and position level, the more trust you gain from other members. I meants you are more trustworthy and ppl are more willing to do business with you and risk more bitcoin to you. Otherwise you got negative feedback, you will find difficult to stay here. you cant involve in signature campaign, getting loan, direct trading etc

I would consider trustworthy ratings or rep to be the ones given from other members that are trustworthy because of course you could just make 10 accounts and rep yourself but you also should always read the ratings because yea an user may have a +1 but that doesnt mean he is trustworthy, maybe he got +1 because he sold an item to someone, does that make him really trustworthy? Not for me.

Oh alright,I was really confused since I did a bitcoin exchange with paypal with a user that has 4 green rep and I got really confused on what it actually meant to have trustworthy feedback,anyways thanks for the clarification
