If in the opinion of the community it turns out that this is not a trust case, then I will remove the tag or will replace it to a neutral one.
Another one of Dave's rambling trust comments.
Everyone has their own view of what should and should not be in trust.
*I* feel that it should be based only on financial matters. But that is just me. If you think Lauda cannot be trusted with financial dealings, red trust. If you think TECSHARE cannot be trusted with financial dealings, red trust. If you think I cannot be trusted with financial dealings red trust.
Everything else should be neutral with an explanation. It is VERY far from an ideal situation but it's what we have to work with.
The problem is (once again IMO) that personal feelings about people have nothing to do with the reality of if we can trust them to do what they said they will do.
I have said it before and I will say it again. The trust and feedback should be separate. I trust a lot of people on this forum.
My trust list (more or less) is people I have had dealings with or people I know have had dealings with that concern financial matters.
The people I have left trust for I have had financial dealings with.
Because that is what we have to work with.
I would love to have feedback / trust be separate.
This way someone could post *feedback* like "I trust kzv bacause....." or "I don't trust kzv because....." If we bought or sold or traded something or had another financial dealings I could leave you *trust* because I could say that you do or do not follow though on financial dealings.
This way I could take look at say. "wow, davef has a few dozen good trades, but he is an asshat and I just do not want to deal with him" Now other members are looking at my feedback / trust seeing a mixing of both.
I know I have done trades with some people who have not left me positive trust / feedback because of other things that have gone on with the forum. So be it.
I think it would be better if they could say, "yeah you can trust him I bought "X" from him and he shipped w/o issue" and then they could post about me being an arrogant ass and will give you an earful about why you are wrong doing things the way you are doing them.
Yeah, I have said it all before and will say it again. Just saw this and had to get it off my chest.
As for trust lists and ~ people on your list. With the DT1 / DT2 drama, it's becoming a bigger disaster. Not sure how to fix it, but that is also part of the problem. There are people who are 100% opposite and fight each other all day here. I trust them both in terms of financial dealings. Would not want to hang out with either of them. They ~ each other. Does adding them into my list really make a difference at that point?
Enough rambling from me. Got to go to work. [checks lottery ticket, didn't win, yep have to go]
