Legendary members should get automatic default trust capabilites, after a member becomes legendary, their post history and trust ratings should be screened, if everything looks good, they should automatically added to default trust.

what do you guys think?

This is a horrible idea. No sarcasm.

Default Trust should be organically and meticulously curated based on merit IMO.

what the hell? no. hell no. being on here for 2/3 years and being trusted are two completely different things.

As said, before they are granted this, they will be screened, if they dont deserve it, they wont get it

even if they are screened, who would be the central figure in deciding who should be on DT? the admins don't have time for that, and its unfair to put that responsibility onto the people already on DT. the system as it is now isnt the best, but its fine.

Really bad idea since so many accounts are sold + account age has nothing to do with being trustworthy.

This is the worst idea I've ever read in this forum. Trust system is already manipulated. If they enable this it'll be a lot easier to abuse with sold Legendary accounts.

Naturally the forum could hire some workers for this


As said, they will be watched, if they slip they slide, so there will be no sense buying accounts

No just no
It would set to many dependancies and a lot of problems including the fact that some might not have traded any goods/services cash with others among other cases.

high potential for bribery/corruption with that. also, that would require the forum to pay people; where would that money come from?

Then that's not automatic, but uses turning Legendary as an arbitrary promotion point. Makes account selling even more valuable, gauranteed default trust accounts etc. Legendary is rare though, even I haven't reached it yet and by the time I do it'll probably get moved again.

you cant bribe if you dont know who to bribe, the people who do this will be anonymous

Why should the forum pay people to screen for default trust when the system currently in place works fine?

TD is legendary or is close to be.

Since scammers are not banned, being legendary does not means you should go to default trust

If the system worked fine, there wouldnt be 5 complaints a day about quickseller

People don't like being called out on their mistakes, Quickseller and the trust system is no exception to that.

Besides, by your plan he would be getting on DT soon enough anyway. So how would it help?

You see maybe 2-3 complaints...yet how many times do people leave feedback and not have issues? The trust system works fine here - no such thing as a perfect system for anything. No matter what someone always has to whine and complain about something.

People don't like being called out as scammers, especially in the middle of a scam attempt, especially when they think their scam attempt is about to be successful.

more people on default trust= more people leave trust= less people complain about a specific person leaving them negative trust

i see it more as more people on DT = more people  leaving neg trust = more complaints about people leaving neg trust.

Having handpicked members at DT, while trust is unmoderated is a horrible idea. In case, if it has to be kept, this is the best idea => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914641.0

Terrible idea as been mentioned. The whole idea of not being able to buy trust would go out the window.

And it's even completely different from buying a hero account, shortly before legendary, leveling it up and being on default trust. I already see account some traders using their automatical default trust legendary accounts to kill the purpose of the trust system. It's like buying votes.
