Three perfectly good examples of how the trust system is flawed

[hilariousandco]

People will still complain that the trust system is being moderated especially after a decision doesn't go their way. Also, what happens when/if staff get it wrong?

If there was a tribunal of 3-7, including senior members, I don't see it being a problem. People complain that the legal system is corrupt etc etc, there will always be accusations.

Trust me it'll be a problem and will likely cause more issues than it solves. People complaim about default trust now and 'moderation' of it when there is none so having a group in charge would be worse. What happens if the 'tribunal' turns into a clique and are biased towards certain members? Even juries aren't perfect and can be swayed or even bought easily enough.

With a trust depth of 0, you only trust feedback by DefaultTrust and yourself.
With a trust depth of 1, you also trust feedback by people who are trusted by those in depth 0 (eg. Tomatocage is trusted by DefaultTrust)
With a trust depth of 2, you also trust feedback by people who are trusted by those in depth 1 (eg. tysat is trusted by Tomatocage)
And so on.

Anyone's account can be bought, hacked or otherwise used for evil.  Escrow saves the day.  The trust system is better than no system at all.  It's a worthwhile mechanism and accounts that go bad can always be adjusted.
