I had experience to receive negative trust simple because I was member in some signature campaign
It can happen if someone is advertising scam.
because of some issues long time ago, before 7-8 years and not connected with this forum, trade or crypto at all.
Trust is not related only to this forum, or to crypto, some users seems don't understand this. For example, if someone scam you on facebook, would you trust that person on bitcointalk or you will warn others?
- Ask advice and consult other members before giving red trust
You mean DT who can't do shit themselves? Doesn't look like a good DT material to start with.
You don’t want to name them, nothing will change. If the red neg isn’t justified, you can always report it to other DTs so they can exclude the user if he is unwilling to correct its feedback.
I reported
DT member and they are still DT.
If you have clear evidence of any scamming a flag should be raised. Negative trust is a broken dinosaur that just destroys the forum and the free speech here. It is UNDENIABLE. If there is no direct link to financially motivated wrongdoing there should be no flag or tag obviously. Most red trust i see handed out has ZERO connection to financially motivated wrong doing. More likely is a DT throwing their weight around trying to crush free speech of other members.
Then they perform some mental gymnastics saying eating lemons when you know there are others around who may die because they are allergic to lemons shows you don't care about other people, if you don't care about other people then obviously you will scam them if you get the chance.
CLEAR DIRECT LINK to financially motivated wrongdoing or NO FLAG NO TAG....else you may as well say free speech is dead or that we are pushing to echo chambers of DT and their agendas here.
It is UNDENIABLE.
I have seen NO credible defense raised ever. Just a lot of DT's crying trolling because they want to keep their fav weapon that allows them to punish people they don't like and ensure they get the best sig spots. Or in EXTREME cases you will find DT members use red trust to silence people who present observable instances of those DT members prior financially motivated wrong doing. The other DT will support this behavior. The entire thing is currently fucked. Hence the board turning into warzone and the trust system just getting diluted into a mess that soon will provide zero use at all in preventing the real scammers standing out.
Personally, I really had bad experience with negative trust.
In my case there was no clear evidence for financially motivated wrongdoing as you mentioned but simple fact that one business company collapsed because business was unsucesfull.
As we know, it happens all the time and all co owners lost money, including me.
We followed legal procedure for the dissolution of the company, suggested by authorities, and they didn't find anything wrong with our actions.
But one co owner felt differently and gave me negative trust based on his feelings and opinion that we should refund him money for the unsucesfull business.
Topic in reputation section or personal messages didn't help so it's obvious how easy negative trust can be used against somebody based on the personal feelings not facts or evidence.
