Title: Trust not defined ??

I was browsing the forum and stumbled upon this user : validium(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=306312)
The trust rating showed the following :

Not sure why it is showing ??.? but I'm sure it is because he received a negative feedback from shorena.
Anyway, this is how you the trust si defined:
The first number is the user's trust score calculated based on how consistently they've received positive feedback. Probably no one will get a score above 0 until the system has been around for at least a month. The second number is the number of reported scams. The third number increases with the number of positive reports, as does the fourth number in parenthesis, though the fourth number is more resistant to abuse. This text changes color depending on the score. Users with a negative score (attainable through scamming) get a red warning attached to their posts.

It's because he received negative trusted from one person and positive trust from another persons. So, it's a bit undefined...
Who is right, who is wrong?

This. The account has an overal positive rating, but due to my rating left as a warning it appears as this organge rating somewhere between red and green. IIRC this was implemented so a single negative rating could be used as a warning on a trusted account regardless of the previous standing.



Since MZ repaid the loan, I removed the rating. Thanks for bringing this up, I had forgotten about it.
