Yeah, so I was slightly inaccurate in saying "DefaultTrust", but the principle is the same. As time goes on, more exclusions will take place, as their feedback will become less, and less relevant just because its not reviewed regularly. Therefore, the feedback left on OP's account becomes less visible, and therefore for those that take red marks seriously, or certain individuals word for it rather than checking the evidence then it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Now, at the moment Vod is probably considered to be taking a break, since they've left the forum a few times which plenty of us have had to do from time to time. So, until there's a more lengthy time period, I can't see many removing them simply because of their current announcement, and inactivity, but undoubtedly it would eventually happen.
Regardless, people should make their judgment not solely based on the trust scores (which is a first level indicator), but on the underlying feedback itself (+ credibility of the people who provide it).
Credibility of the user is a slippery slope, as a reputable user could just as much leave inaccurate feedback, as a well known scammer, and visa versa. So, I would say take into consideration the actual feedback, evidence, and your own personal interpretation of the user. The feedback system has become a battlefield for a lot of users on the forum, and as in some essence lost its reliability, although that's assuming that the feedback system was ever meant for that. I personally don't see the trust system as a be it, and end all type of system, that unfortunately I see from a few users on this forum. Its simply providing
feedback to me that this user is worth looking into, and nothing more than that. Just because someone has negative feedback doesn't automatically make them guilty.
Really, you should probably be vetting anyone that you are going to be trading with, but the feedback system is particularly useful for giving a reminder that the user should probably be looked into before dealing with.
