Sorting out users with a negative rating

[agoraadnim]

I've been looking through this section for potential investments for the last half hour and in every thread the starting user has negative feedback. Wouldn't it be nice is we could somehow sort out the threads started by users with negative feedback and only see the ones with positive trust? Is this possible? Just a thought..

You'll have to post it as a suggestion on the Meta section of this forum:

It's a great idea, but I doubt it will be implemented.  Also, once you browse this section long enough, you'll know who's legit and who's not.

Thanks, I just posted the idea there. For now I guess I will just have to study the section and figure out who's legit.

If you sort it on negative trust, the topics will be shown in exactly the same order (ok, not literally, but you get the idea.) Legit loan requests are just very rare.

Also "trust" should be pretty irrelevant. I mean, someone with positive trust can just as easily scam. Just always make sure u or an escrow has sufficient collateral.

edit: I realize now you said "sort out", but anyway I think it will give a false impression of "sorting out the scammers, only legit people left now". People might misunderstand it and automatically trust those who are not sorted out.

Or we can ban the people with negative rating from posting on lending thread as the people with negative trust are  potential scammer

These suggestions disregard that negative  trust can be given for any reason. E.g. i personally do not trade with fascists, so they get negative trust from me as a personal public reminder. Maybe for you that is no reason to cancel a deal.
Others might give negative trust for other reasons. You allways have to check the trust yourself and can not rely on the number beeing negative or positive.

Also: this should be in meta imho. thx

That would be nice, it would also be great if we could have filters on all these Bitcoin stock websites that get rid of mining companies, I'd like to see some real companies to invest in at some point.

I rarely see a request now with a positive trust member. These mostly cover there loans privately or sell whatever they would offer as escrow rather than getting a loan with interest "and currently it's very rare to see someone loaning without a collateral worth more than the loan"
