Sadly the default trust system provided by these forums. Is a joke
So I'd like to see it gone from my view, I'm sick of seeing Red, from one specific person, over and over again.

I went to setting and deleted "default trust" there's no one in that list, but I still see red?

try changing your trust depth to 0

people will still see you as red tho



you can't delete it. it'll just show up again after you click update

Delete it from this list here

Prefix a user's name with a tilde (~) if you want to exclude them from your trust network.

One neg and suddenly you can never make a deal again. Even if it's for a bad reason

Well for some reason I see my self as a -2, over one bad feedback, does everyone else?
Somewhat of a joke that personal feelings can result in a scammer tag. Sigh.

So If I put ~username they won't show?

I know it won't fix what people see of ME, But I'd rather not see what the person says about others. I've seen a dozen people pegged by this member today alone.
It's a joke

I see 8: -1 / +6(6) (orange and green) but i use more then just the default list. If you put ~ in front of anybody that you don't want included in your trusted list their feedback won't have any effect on the score (for your view).

Edit: Using default trust only you're -2: -1 / +1(1) (red)

If your trust list is empty, you are using default trust. You need to add someone. If you don't want to participate in the trust system or see ratings, then add someone who doesn't leave feedback, and doesn't have anyone in their trust list. Like satoshi, or some other inactive user.

Alternatively build your own list, and use exclusions to remove those whose feedback you don't want to see.

Taken care of. Thanks :)

Wired I saw myself as -2

This is what I and most others see for you:

Well Candy, you have like six neg reps. Your reasons didn't justify anything.

This is true, why does it show -2 when I only have one? Is that guy that powerful?

And I've done deals since. It would seem most people simply ignore that specific person's feedback.
When you run around crying wolf, eventually your word means shit to many.

You can argue that Candy may not be trustworthy, but that doesn't mean his point is invalid. People are so paranoid about getting ripped off around here a single negative rating is often enough to cause people to immediately shut their brains off, close the page and move to the next person to trade with. His point is if the negative is left for an abusive reason, people still treat you as a scammer.

He is on the default trust, hence his feedback holds more weight in the trust system calculation.

Most inteligent people didn't trust Candy and his alts far before he ever got negative feedback. And people will deal with you, they just won't send first. Use escrow and I can't see why someone wouldn't want to take your money (unless it's on something that could be reversed at a later point).

Can the moderators not remove any negative trust that is obviously fake and has no relation to your actions?

They can, but their policy is they won't.

Think about it:  If they would remove feedback, they would be overwhelmed by massive amounts of PMs claiming one thing or another.  It would be a full time job.
