I just realised I have "minus 6 trust rating" on here yet I've done nothing wrong, never asked for a loan or scammed anyone, never been involved in business transactions etc etc. I don't intend on asking for loans in the future or anything so I guess my trust rating on here shouldn't matter to me, but it still bothers me that I have a low one when I've done nothing wrong. Moderators should be able to allow/disallow people to rate based on real facts, real scams, etc, otherwise what's the point of a trust rating that's not accurate and cannot be trusted?

Mods don't moderate the trust system.
Search the meta forum to see some criticism about the truth system and about people complaining about the Vod's trust rates.
Cheers

It clearly states next to your negative trust that you apparently lied about your ability to send pictures.

When used properly, the trust system works perfectly well and accomplishes its intended task. The fact that you haven't bothered learning how to properly use the trust system is not an indication that there is anything wrong with the trust system. It's just an indication that you (along with a significant number of users on this forum) are lazy, and unmotivated.

Because it was a misunderstanding, i said "sent pics" as a figure of speech. I sent links to pics, which is pretty much the same. I cleared that up later yet Vod still went and gave me a bad rating. Whatever. doesn't matter, I'm mainly here to read news about BFL refunds and a few more interesting things that pop up. I couldn't care less if a couple of idiots decide I'm untrustworthy based on nothing.

Any 'trust' system among strangers is beyond lame. But I doubt most see it that way since Linkedin is built on lying about people and it is fully accepted as a 'system that works'

That's a good point.

My advice is to use Escrow (preferred Multi-Sig-Escrow; so that the Escrow can't steal your funds).

I would agree if used right the trust is a good indicator. No it should not be only thing used for verifying a "good" trade. The system is not perfect but does have some positives.

I've also been given negative trust, and I've never scammed. Although I did do something wrong, it has nothing to do with my profile or my trust. Oh well, it's just a profile on a forum if you think about it.

Trust has nothing to do with scamming, or transactions, or theft, or lying. Trust has to do with whether others believe that the person using that ID on this forum has acted in an ethical, moral, reliable, and otherwise "trustworthy" manner. If people believe that the things you have said or done are an indication that you are unethical, immoral, unreliable, or otherwise untrustworthy, then they will leave you negative trust with an explanation of why so that others can decide for themselves if they want to risk trusting you in any manner.

The trust stuff says: Negative - You were scammed or you strongly believe that this person is a scammer. Negative trust is for scammers or potential scammers. Not about how good or bad people is. Seems there are different interpretations about what the trust is

Correct. Fortunately, the trust system has a method to deal with this. You get to choose whose feedback matters to you. If you don't like the way that I assign trust values, then don't include me in your trust network. If you like the way that jaberwock assigns trust values, then include him in your trust network. When used properly, you choose the people whose feedback you value and trust. Then the "score" that you see is based on the value assigned by the people whose feedback you value.
