Who am I to judge you, but you lost something valuable for those 2 merits mate. If you wonder what is it, it's my respect

Thats how big money businessman thinks, like you, why do they need escrow for a 10$ transaction while you already made deals that worth ++1000$, while not all people think and as rich as you. For some people, 10$ means much and maybe they cant afford to lose it and needed the money, so it is their right to make sure that they get the money.

My suggestion, dont underestimate small money and small customer. Sometimes small things can cost you big enough.

\ . i know 10$ means a lot to some people. it does to me too.
but i am not stupid enough to pay 50$ to  escrow a 10$ deal. i rather take 6 risks with 6 different people than having to pay 60$ in total for something that is worth 10$. ? do you get the point ?

plus you are not discussing the main point here.

I think personally, this Neg trust should be reviewed before its given. Reasons being anyone angered or with insecurity feelings can just Neg the other person. I would suggest the admin reviews all this Neg trust and determine which is really worth giving.

Do you know how much workload that would add to the staff? They already have to deal with an exorbitant amount of spam in the form of shitty thread replies. You want them to now go through every feedback sent? Unlike posts, feedback takes a lot more time to digest and review.

It's most likely never going to be reviewed. Scams aren't even moderated, never mind trust feedback.

Yeah, tell you what.  Why don't you start going through my feedback and start determining which ones are valid and which ones aren't.  And then once you give up in 10 minutes, you'll realize how silly your suggestion was.  That isn't the job of moderators, nor should it be.

The trust system is far from perfect and could use a lot of improvement--and no, I don't have any good suggestions--but every single one of us has to suck it up and deal with it.  And what I see is that it's not DT members who leave the most bullshit feedback; it's the scammers and spammers who do that.  They leave retaliatory feedback, and sometimes they make very specific claims that the DT member or whoever has scammed X BTC, or has had sexual relations with [insert family member here], or whatever. 

The issue is that DT feedback carries a lot more weight, and these poor shitposters can have their earnings slashed to zero because of it.  And they're so frigging loud and obnoxious when they get tagged.  But 99.9% of the time, the tag is on the money.
