Title: How does Trust work here?
Post by: sundriver on June 03, 2017, 01:36:48 PM
I have been on many forums, however this is the first with a trust system for me. How does it work? Is anyone checking the validity of the trust entries?

Hi Sundriver, welcome to the forum.

Here's a thread that explains the trust system here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0)

In this Beginners & Help sub-forum there is a thread at the top of the first page titled to Newbies, it provides a lot of the answers someone might have who is completely new to this forum. You should read it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)

The trust system is great, but it's only as valuable as the honesty maintained by each person who uses it to leave a trust rating for someone else. Don't abuse the system by leaving trust that isn't accurate, particularly on the negative side. You'll find people on this forum that have negative trust over misunderstandings, rather than actual wrong doing.

Good luck to you!

It's pretty basic.

The forum admin chooses people he trusts.  They make up level 1.

Those people choose people they trust.  They make up level 2.

Trust from people on level 1 and 2 will show up by default on your trust rating.  Trust from other people will not.
