Title: positive trusts disappearing?
Post by: uknohowwedo on August 11, 2015, 09:14:15 PM
ive had a handful of positive trusts in the past few days asking my friends to do so and its not saving any of them. seems to erase them immediately. i believe one of the mods is abusing their job.

please fix, thanks, Dustin

This is a meta topic, there is nothing technical to discuss here.

ModsAdmins[1] only remove trust ratings that are spam which rarely happens.

I still see 3 positive ratings for you by:

stareyoudown, devguru and TrillMyWatch.

None of them are considered trusted according to my list so they only appear if you explcitly enable that untrusted ratings are shown to you. They also dont change your overal score. You do however have a negative rating from someone on defaulttrust, namely Quickseller. Maybe thats what you are refering to?

[1] thx for the correction --Encrypted--

People can remove their trust. Admins can remove trust if they think you are trust spamming.

I still see the trust on your account.. Are you looking at untrusted feedback? By default it's hidden, so you need to click the "view untrusted feedback" button on your trust page to see the ratings. Alternatively, you can go to Profile -> Forum Profile Information -> Check "Show untrusted feedback by default" button and then it will always show the untrusted feedback on people's profiles.

care to provide proof that you repaid the loan? show proof that you received a repayment address from manyproofs and a txid.

What are you doing? Why is this needed? The post was quoted by shorena so I'm not sure why it needs to be quoted for reference?

You have three positive trusts, but they're in the untrusted section.

Because they're from untrusted people. Click the show untrusted feedback and they're there. If you go into your settings you can choose to show trusted feedback by default but it won't make you trusted.

The entire trust system needs an overhaul in my opinion...bitcointalk does need some form of trust rating, but its current form is flawed >:(

sometimes a small consideration is needed but if this trust rating is used loosely, site will be prone to scam.
i see newbie account created daily and most of them go directly to Lending section which is quite alarming

its impossible to create a system that's perfect for everyone, the current system might not be satisfactory for some, but it does its job.

Why don't you suggest what needs to be overhauled? Many complain but offer no solutions or suggestions. I've yet to see any feedback system that works perfect or doesn't have flaws or faults.

Not necessarily, I think OP doesn't understand that since his friends aren't on default trust, he doesn't get green trust.

his "friends" are most likely his alt accounts judging from his behavior in the lending section.

It may have more to do with the fact that the OP doesn't understand that his friends aren't on his own trust list.   As far as I understand, the first thing you're supposed to do after learning how the trust system works is to remove default trust and start building your own list.  See here:
