Title: shouldn't there be a "reputation" system along with "trust" system?
Post by: --Encrypted-- on October 18, 2014, 10:59:19 PM
I saw some untrusted member's profile (and some trusted members) and they have some bad feedback complaining about their attitude.

I mean, all they do was getting on somebody's nerves, right? that doesn't mean that they are a scammer or have potential to be one.  :P

Negative trust doesn't mean you are a scammer either.  It's how one person feels about the other.  Do I trust them?

Reputation would easily be bought.  Useless as post count.

There's an entire sub where you can talk about a users reputation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0

Though that of course can also be abused by trolls or people who don't like you, and creating a self-moderated thread there would be counter-productive.
