Can anyone explain please:
- Why do we have DT2?
- Why are we encouraged to set trust depth: 2 ?
- Why is maximum trust depth 4?
DT2 is just part of the entire trust system, it's the default choice, and if you don't like it you can choose anywhere from DT1 to DT4.
I've tried DT4 before, and it was slow already. The amount of data increases exponentially with depth, I haven't tested how long it takes to load now. DT5 and deeper would become very large.
If you don't trust someone's judgement, you shouldn't include him in your trust list.
I don't think technically it's correct.
Let me give you a hypothetical example.
I can trust Loyce:
- with data analysis
- with money.
I may not trust Loyce:
- views he has about religion.
So overall what should be my stand for Loyce?
When I said "someone's judgement", I meant
on judging others. If I tag users based on their religion, you should probably not trust my judgement (and thus not add me to your trust list). If you trust me with money, you can say so in my trust feedback, but it's still not a reason to add me to your trust list.
If, however, you trust my ability to judge others, and agree with the majority of feedback I left, you could add me to your trust list.
(and until recently I didn't know this also includes my ability to add users to my own trust list, so I'm still experimenting with the right users there)
Correct me if I am wrong here fellas, but if everyone creates their own custom trust lists Default Trust will have little to no meaning....
You can (and probably should) keep DefaultTrust on your own trust list, so you have the full force of DT1 and DT2 to add to your own trust ratings.
Interesting. I have ~DefaultTrust and just use my list of inclusions and exclusions.
