Somebody might explain to me why old members who have clearly participated a lot in the forum in the past are not allowed to have any voting rights if they didn't earn 10 merits ?

I mean i can show a lot of high ranked account who are activ on that forum and posting many updates about crypto but don't receive merit.

You should have made the list before merit had a political function. Merit sources were asking for merit worthy posts in meta for months.

How highly-ranked?  Who are you talking about?  Feel free to post the list in LoyceV's thread on undermerited posts and I'll be happy to take a look at it.

But you are meriting a guy with a new account who is whoring for merit and received 80 merits for a short video made in 10 minutes which is  in your political few right?

That video was funny, IMO and deserved every merit it got.  Get a sense of humor.

Why is the DT list made up of almost NO ONE who has traded a single $ on BCT?
The DT was implemented for trade reasons right?

What is this nonsense? Most of the new DT1 members (at least from the collectibles section) have traded goods worth very large amounts of BTC. You may be talking about DT members from local sections; but that was the goal if I understood my master correctly.

What have you traded,sold,bought??    Nothing... Kindly STFU

Hmm.. I've sold/bought things from Lauda over the last two years. Physical goods for BTC. Never used any escrow from either side so you are wrong.

EDIT; Are you just trolling or are you actually unable to check who is on DT? Most people there have made trades for tens of thousands of $ in BTC.

You are a douchebag. I Acknowledge your trade history as  trustworhty trader but still are a douchebag. Lauda is not trustworthy. I would trust you with $$ I would not trust LAUDA

Lol. I was just trying to point that out myself. This guy is trolling lol...

[otrkid1970]

Fucked that response up but you feel me.

[Hhampuz]

Fucked that response up but you feel me.

Then say that what you meant instead of spewing out shit posts that adds nothing to the discussion.

EDIT; Most people on current DT have substantial trade history of physical goods over long periods of time. Others are on DT for being trustworthy in a sense where their judgement is always on point and their contributions to this forum goes above and beyond.

Fucked that response up but you feel me.

Then say that what you meant instead of spewing out shit posts that adds nothing to the discussion.

A mistake is a Mistake...Fuck you. you impatient little fuck.

I wasn't even implying that your failed quotation was the shitty post. Your post that I initially replied to was the shit post that adds nothing to the discussion (where you spew out lies with nothing to back it up with).

No need in calling names.

Also Hhampuz has a point here.

If you are not refering to Lauda, mixed up quoting or not, who are you refering to? And how is it relevant?

Kindly GTFO

He doesn't need to personally nit pick every case, or really any, but by setting a comparatively very objective standard for leaving a negative rating the VAST majority of conflict is simply avoided.

There will be no hindrance of stopping scammers, but in fact it will be easier to spot them as they don't blend in in a sea of red. Also people will feel more comfortable contributing to a community where they don't have to worry about everything being taken away over some petty squabble at any instant.

I agree with this, the more people adopt this system the more it will balance itself. Initially it might appear a Cats vs Dogs drama, the more people adding their trusts/distrusts the more our personal "reputation" would form based on objective observations from the community. I might be able to plot with a bunch of people against Cats for 1 month, maybe 2/3/6 months, but the real value of cats and dogs will come out overtime. Personally I woudnt even give power to any DT level indeed: the sum of someone Trust would then come out based on the entire community feedback. Scary? Behave then...

I don't think that would work. Let's say I piss off a scammer by sending negative feedback, what would stop him from creating/using a bunch of alt-accounts to wreck my trust level? I like the idea of a non-DT system since the latest DT changes have caused a lot of childish behaviour.

Then again this is biased.

Like in every situation people are more likely to speak up if they had an issue, or for the matter a trust breach, than a good experience, or say a trust proof.

The score average would be deeply negatively biased.

I don't understand how someone can wreck your trust level using alts. Feedback left by nobodies is disregarded in counting your points (you can look at my own trust page for examples).

If someone manages to create enough sockpuppets, gives them voting rights, and unlegitimately include people in DT1 just so he can tag you in red, without getting blacklisted in the process, not only we could consider the trust system flawed, but also ask what in the hell did you do to piss off this person.

That is because of the current trust system. I believe Gunthar was trying to address a system without any form of DT, just community feedback (similar to eBay).

Yes ofc thinking loud about an ideal system with a community that reached its maturity: there are many filters to apply while this process grows, some of them are already in here, i.e. a minimum membership rank/merit/trust point in order to be able to tag someone (green or red doesnt matter)

[KingZee]

That is because of the current trust system. I believe Gunthar was trying to address a system without any form of DT, just community feedback (similar to eBay).

I've suggested a completely decentralized system multiple times. The more people keep arguing on trivialities here, the more I'm starting to think it's better than the current system.

The "problems" everyone keeps bringing up with my system :

1. You can't verify that transactions happened. Some people can leave fake feedback for money that was never risked. You gave an example with Ebay, well Ebay transactions are all true. Imo that's a valid concern, but then again, no one is stopping current DT1/2 members from straight up lying as well and leaving fake positive feedback. Who's going to verify those txes?

2. Leaving feedback for non-money transactions. You know, you have to tag ponzi scammers and funny lending section sobbers. (For my system) It's possible to create a default "empty shell" feedback for similar tags. If a high trusted member leaves an empty shell, it means something, unlike if a newbie does it, and so on.

But good luck convincing people that the current system is heading towards a centralized DT controlled by less people than it actually looks like. But maybe I'm wrong, it's only been a few weeks, and so far there's still a diverse amount of people in control that I hope it won't be the case.

I put a certain established poster here in my personalised trust list last night. I’ve signed into btctalk.org today & checked who trusts me etc & it seems the following users have distrusted me presumably as a result of putting said established poster in my trust list -

Anybody else been a victim of a ‘mass distrust’ in a short period of time despite being a perfectly honest member of the community?

Yes, the thread appears here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5103988.0 Basically, if you list Lauda on your trust list, these people distrust you on their trust list.

I presume you are referring to putting lauda in your trust list.

I speculate these people are distrusting you because you have a known extortionist, and someone who has been unwilling to account for over a million dollars they were holding as escrow.

Perhaps you can add a ~ in front of lauda
