I know I have said it before but we need to split trust and feedback.
Merit = Are they good posters? Help out people? Useful to the board? This does not matter much in terms of trading BTC or hardware or collectibles you *can* help out a lot but still be a crook.
Trust = Can you trust them with money / items / etc. However, there are a lot of people with trust that have never really bought or sold things.
Feedback = Do you really want to deal with them. Because even if the 1st 2 are good you might still want to avoid.
I trust TECSHARE I trust Lauda neither of them have done me harm, stolen from me or to my knowledge stolen from anyone I deal with.
I probably have given merit to and received from both of them. Would have to check.
Feedback, is a different issue. As I posted some time ago....
to put it as the forum owner put it.
If you send Bob $200 to tune up your bike and he came to your house and tuned up your bike then he gets positive trust.
If while he was there he has sex with your wife IT DOES NOT MATTER. That has nothing to do with trust. That is a feedback issue.
We seem to have the same issue here. I REALLY DON'T CARE if Bob is promoting scam coin X or an ICO or YoBit SPAM. If I sent Bob 1BTC and he sent me $9000 cash as agreed everything else is not important in the trade area.
Maybe I agree with Techshares politics, maybe I think he is a radical right nutjob, maybe I am more to the right then he is and I think he is a liberal looser. Not a trust issue, it's a feedback issue
Which we don't have here. so people are using the trust info for it. Which despite a lot of people in the forums who buy / sell / trade keep fighting against keeps happening. theymos for whatever reason does not want to change it, so we are stuck with it.
I have gotten to the point of ignoring it, only came to this thread because my name was mentioned and I got an alert.
It's a new year in a few days, can we all get together and agree to calm down a bit?
