The reference part of trust feedback doesn't reject wrong topic links, why?

[Bitcoin_Arena]

To better understand the problem I decided not to delete the feedback I left on the profile for now - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=3344823

So when leaving feedback, under reference link, I made a slight error and missed the last digit of the forum topic link, added comments, submitted and the feedback was created on satcounter's profile.

Wrong link I used:

Code:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=535030

Instead of:

Code:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350305

Now, while trying to create a type 1 flag using the same link, I got an error message



Yes I know feedback can be deleted and recreated unlike trust flags but, If it wasn't for my attempt to create the flag using the same link, I would not have known about the wrong reference link under the feedback I had left earlier on.

Which brings me to the question, why shouldn't the seem mechanism of rejecting wrong reference links be implemented on the trust ratings section just like it is on trust flags?

You're kinda answering your own question... feedback ratings can be deleted and recreated if you mess it up so why bother with validation. Also, rating references can point to individual posts (not just threads) or basically anywhere, including outside of the forum and verifying those links would be a medium-sized can of worms. I think it's fine the way it is.
