Why is untrusted feedback hidden?

[nndep3m]

I notice a lot of scammers on this forum with negative red feedback have a 0 neutral rating rather than a red rating, simply because they haven't received Trusted negative feedback. Even when you go to their profile, you don't even see their negative feedback.. that is unless you specifically click on "Show Ratings' under "Untrusted Feedback". As a newbie here I had no idea I had to do this.. I did this with a scammer who scammed me and finally figured out by myself that this is what I had to do. I found a plethora of other negative hidden reviews that would have otherwise saved me money.

Why doesn't the site make it easier to identify potential scammers who have received a lot of negative feedback by at least showing the content under the "Show Ratings" by default without having to click it? No doubt a lot of newbies like myself have lost money because we didn't know we had to click on that button.

I don't think it's wrong. Lot of feedbacks is just some sort of personal revenge thus not relevant. Not to be trusted. (someone points out the scammer, scammer is angry and strikes back)

But you can make it so by adjusting your trust settings. All feedback then becomes trusted and you do not need to click to show them.

It depends on how you are or are not connected to the person leaving the negative feedback. Feedback is only shown (as a score) for people within your network. You can choose who you want in your network, although there is a default setting.

The ratings are always available, however you have to go to someone's profile to know what ratings they've received. But the score and whether it is shown is definitely the preference of each member.
