First of all, your intent shouldn't be to gain trust from people and to add that up, using the loan scenario is not a good way to hope for earning positive trusts either as trust is gained over time for various reasons and shouldn't be from lending someone as this destroys the trust system in my opinion and trusts earned that way, shouldn't reflect on the account at all (If it could be this way hopefully)
Is this why people lend/borrow such micro amounts in the lending section? To gain (or farm) trust?
apparently yes, I've been in the forums for some time now but comparing before and now, many people pop out of no where to give micro loans and the purpose is clear to me and to others as well...their like looking for a way to circle the so called "Farm Trust" and yet don't get caught
