Title: Trust added to profile
Post by: kjlimo on May 24, 2013, 03:44:53 AM
OK, after 15 minutes of failing to find any instructions, I'm curious what this whole trust thing is in my profile.

I'm assuming it's new.

I also came across a two week old "reputation" subsection in the trading section now.

Perhaps trust is supposed to help increase our reputation in another way other than post count?

Any plans to go through the list of honest traders and importing that info into the trust calculation?

Sorry that I couldn't find this faster, and feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate section.

Thanks in advance!

At first I was like, "Why is theymos automatically in my trusted list?" then I realized, "Duh, the adminstrator of the system is already implicitly trusted whenever trust is granted to anyone."

Still I think people may balk because they don't think of this.

It will not work otherwise, someone can register hundreds of sockpuppets and prop up his trust rating.

Or maybe we should just ask every trust rater to submit a proof of work before they rate, the more trustworthy you already are, the less proof of work you need to do.
