Nowadays you can buy trust. So what trust really is?
I don't see how can I buy it.Ok I can convince some newbie to give positive feedback but does it changes anything?

The algorithm that generates those numbers is quite obscure but looking at other's people feedback is useful even if you don't trust them
The way trust calculated is not 'obscure'.

The way trust calculated is not 'obscure'. I never understood how it exactly works. But red negative trust is a warning someone may be scamming here. The +trust probably has only TradeFortress and his friends 
I don't think many people use it now anyway.

I used it when it first came out but I don't even bother now.
I don't trust no one so.

You are supposed to add people YOU trust into the trust list, so that you can see their trust ratings.
Agree, trust should be changed. Maybe trust should only allow Hero and above to comment and click.
I have enabled "show untrusted feedback" it's pretty handy.
One of the developments I liked on here when I saw it was the "trust" function, where you can leave a review after doing business with someone. At first glance though, it seems like almost everybody has 0 trust. It only shows if you have trust from a "trusted" member-unless you click on it. I just think something should be changed so at first glance you can see something about a member's trust. If you're the average user (i.e. not a hero member/mod), your trust probably says 0. But if you click on it-theres something there. I got my first rating from a "trusted" member the other day, so it says "+1". Although, the first number next to trust is 0. Maybe I just don't understand how it works?
