I was once told in a PM by a well respected member of this community that he did not want to openly make his case against a member here because of the politics involved. The DT system as it stands is open to abuse and there are too many users that rotate in and out that should be nowhere near DT.
Thanks Loyce, informative as always.
I made some overdue changes to my trust list based on these findings -- not necessarily based on just somebody having negative trust, but a lot of things:
- do I agree with their ratings in large?
- do they even leave ratings?
- have they been active at all this year?
- who is in their inclusions list?
Not going to name names, but there's a significant amount of members both new and old that seem to be using the trust system to paid their scores or place on DT. I fully expect some reciprocal exclusions to take place shortly, but to be honest I don't blame people that do that, as I don't trust people that actively distrust my judgment either.
I think in many cases its a matter of education and experience -- as mentioned earlier in this thread a lot of people just don't understand how the trust system works.
