Title: Bug in the trust system?
Post by: DireWolfM14 on March 17, 2019, 04:04:59 PM
I've been keeping up my custom trust list, using LoyceV's list (http://loyce.club/trust/) to assess the entries, and selectively modify my list to keep it trim yet effective.  I recently removed some of my ~distrusted entries because I realized their inclusion has no effect on my desired results.  However, I noticed an anomaly, specifically with one user account: MoneypakTrader.com.

If I'm understanding the new trust system correctly MoneypakTrader.com should not be DT2, however it appears that he is.  My list does not include any users who have included MoneypakTrader.com in their custom list, and MoneypakTrader.com is not included by any DT1 members that I know of, yet if I remove <~MoneypakTrader.com> from my list the accounts review show as trusted reviews.

Am I the only one with this issue?  I might be mistaken about how the system is supposed to work, and missing something.  Any thoughts?

He's not.

This is a user he left positive feedback. His feedback shows as untrusted.

Custom Trust lists have large recursive implications because the ones you trust directly (Depth 0) make you trust the ones they trust (Depth 1), and the users they trust (Depth 2).

I thought I found the one, but I was wrong. I got to go now, if you don't find it I'll look deeper. It could also be someone changed his Trust list after yesterday's trust data dump.

I'll keep looking for a connection between someone I'm trusting the account in question.  I realize you compile your list manually and there's some delay.  I've found it very helpful, it's much appreciated.  


ETA:
I found the connection, I guess I didn't realize the depth of trusted users.
