Title: Just a quick question: Why is my account name appear and crossed out here?
Post by: ndnh on July 15, 2015, 05:51:58 PM
Where:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

Set trust depth to 4

Use find (Ctrl + F in windows) to search "ndnhc"

Why is it appearing there? Crossed out with a -1 in brackets?

Edit: Seems like -1 and strike off is very related. ;)

Edit2: In the Hierarchical view my account name appears under EAL. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=140584
How is that relevant?

Hierarchical view shows who has you (or who else) on their list. If your name appears as strikethrough version it means that person has explicitly removed you from their trust network with "~name"


Edit: corrected grave spelling error

I think that it is actually simple, but I might be mistaken. EAL has you under his trust list but has added a ~ before your name.
This means that he chooses to ignore any trust that is left by you. If you add ~ before my name, that will appear as well; meaning you chose to remove me from your list. Search for my username and you can see that several users have done this (including Quickseller..).

Interestingly enough I can only find your name 5 times when using search, but I can find mine over ninety times.

Why would someone add me in the list and then remove it? Or was it automatically added to his trust list ???

@LaudaM, but I find my name just once and yours 41 times?


Edit: Why is my name there in the first place, lol?

He didn't (necessarily) add you. He excluded you from his trust network. If he wanted to remove you after adding you then he would simply remove your name from his trust list. You are most likely in someone's trust list who is on your trust list and does not want to rely on your trust ratings.

Edit: the number of times you will see each person's name in your trust network will be different for each person (unless they have the exact same trust list.

I see. That helped. :)

@QS @Shorena @LaudaM Thanks for the explanation. :)
