I see so many of the users of the forum who are having negative trusts getting accepted into bounty campaigns! Most of the campaigns do not allow users with negative trust to enroll in their campaign but there are some which do not follow this rule. Shouldn't the users with negative trusts be not allowed to set up signatures of any kind from the forum's end itself ?
To ensure that trust actually works and means something, shouldn't the campaigns which accept participants of negative trust be not allowed on this forum?
This is the post where trust system formally announced.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/marketplace-trust-211858Below are the guidelines for giving trust
On feedback pages, you can leave trade feedback. There are no rules for this, but here are some guidelines:
- List all of the trades that you do with people (or at least the major ones). This is not like #bitcoin-otc where you give people just one score.
- Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts.
- Older ratings count for more, so don't delete old ratings if you can avoid it.
- "Risked BTC" is how much money you could have lost if the person you're rating had turned out to be a scammer. Or, if they are a scammer, it's how much you lost. Use the BTC value at the time of reporting.
- It's OK to post a rating about the person in general, not tied to a specific trade.
- If you want to make a rating stronger, increase "Risked BTC". 50 extra risked BTC is equivalent to an additional rating.
So if you observe , most of the trust score given do not follow these guidelines.
Person who has given the trust is only capable of modifying it. No Administrator/Staff will able to modify it.
Even "Theymos" has negative trust . (Al tough person who has given him that trust did not followed any of the above guidelines, he just given negative trust because he is not agreeing with the views of Theymos)
