Marketplace trust

[sublime5447]

 I wasn't to happy when i found out about default trust especially when I found out trade fortress had default trust.


"Man you guys are f@#$%d... I didnt realize what was meant by default trust.... f!@# you I dont trust any off you insiders. Especially TradeFortress there are numerous scammer threads about him... He is a lender! I dont trust lenders of coin!  I trust who I trust not who you think I should trust. Shit is bullshit."

It would be great if the trust rating of the person posting was displayed next to their thread post. So i dont have to click on the thread to see that it was posted by a scammer. That would be donation worthy to me

It is visible where it's needed the most —  in the Marketplace board and its child boards and in the Trading discussion board and its child boards.

Huh. That could be useful. Maybe a checkbox option in profile menu to turn it grey like an ignored person's, or grey out the OPs name in thread-browsing, or red it out. Something simple to let people know there's something up before they even click without being too in-your-face.

An option to automatically ignore people with a negative overall rating might be interesting, too. Maybe the server would maintain the list, a user can click "add negatively-repped members," and have the list populate from server data. This would also achieve the effect of graying out neg-repped OPs.

Someones character should always be important.

I want to see it in the "started by" and "most recent post" columns. That way I know if a scammer started the thread or if a scammer replied to it.. 

Really every time someones name appears so should their trust rating.

The whole Trust thing is just STUPID.

Best thing to do is empty your trust list, set trust depth to 0 and then add people one by one.

Tradefortress has recently come after me on this trust system.  He's apparently irked about something on coinchat.  He doesn't respond to pms but his accusation says that he 'risked' 1.5BTC on me.  As I've never received any btc from him on this forum personally, and he has me blocked for pming him, I have no idea what to do about this accusation. 

Another point is that I've never bought or sold any bitcoins, ever.  Now that tradefortress, a "VIP" member has branded me as untrustworthy, I suppose that trading on here isn't an option for me if I were to be interested in the future.

Seems to me that the trust system is too subject to abuse by powerful members of the forum.  I'm not sure what to do or how to resolve the attack on my reputation by a a powerful user here who even has my pms blocked.

That's fraudulent. Make a thread about it.

Garr255 came back fine from a negative rating. Also try bitcoin-otc.

Seems like a mistake. TF is a a bit of a bully though. No worries just make a thread about it and the truth will come out. Ask for him to provide evidence.

We are discussing now in another thread, in a sense that's encouraging.

Thanks for the suggestion and encouragement about trading.  In fact, I'm not trying to trade at the moment, but I am trying to clear my reputation of false allegations should I ever wish to do so.

Nah, it won't keep people from trading with you.  They'll just require you to send first, or they'll require that the transaction use a trusted third party to hold the bitcoins in escrow.

Ok, that's encouraging too, I suppose that I don't mind using an escrow if I ever were to want to trade.  In any case, I'm hoping that the community will convince tf to drop his false allegations after discussion in the other thread.  We'll see.

I think it would help new people if someone would sticky this thread.

Uhhhh.... told ya so.

I definitely suffered from his escapades.

You have unusual trust settings, or that was only temporary. sublime5447 is not in the default trust network.

[b!z]

Has DefaultTrust been changed? I am using DefaultTrust with a depth of 3.

A few days ago, not many people would show up as Trusted Feedback. Now, many more people are under Trusted Feedback when I view someone's trust.

Why is that, I might ask?  No vip status?  . I dont blame you for the TF incident but seriously default trust is BS.

[BadBear]

Actually I strongly considered adding you to mine a couple times, since you are a pretty active trader and have been around for a long time, but some of your feedback seems based on personal problems. For example one of your feedback comment says just "sucks dick", and another is "bully troll".
