Do DT1 members need to borrow money?

Trusted feedback can be from DT2 member also. In reality by just seeing the feedback you cannot say it is from DT1 or DT2.

Malicious intent are very hard to hide. Once your intent is known to public then it will backfire.

I can think of a scenario, but haven't bothered to prepare for it.
However, if I ever need to, I don't think I'll leave green trust for it, because without collateral, the other party has to trust me, while I'm not risking anything.

Its more complicated than that. Lenders need to understand the complexity of the trust system before just handing out trust like a hoe-spawner, especially with the new changes in the trust system.

I'd understand if you give out trust rating for dealings more than 500-1000$, but anything below that shouldn't really ask for a positive trust. Obviously this won't be the only factor, the behavior of a user comes into account as well, and that should matter the most when it comes to handling trust. The person's maturity, and attitude should play a role when giving out trust, based on the post history of the user in question.

TL;DR: @DT members: Don't give trust stupidly. Just because someone pays a loan back, it doesn't make them trustworthy.

After the new default trust system implemented more people can get the chances of getting into DT level so they also can use it for trust farming.

I am also came into various profiles which got positive trusts for paying the loans on time even though the loan amount is very negligible.We can restrict the trust farming if we have clear guideline from theymos for giving trust ratings.

You can get positive trust for any successful deal, particularly where the counterparty risked some money with you, which in turn requires trust so it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

It's unclear if you actually mean lending or borrowing money. Lending typically doesn't require the borrower to risk money so if I was borrowing I wouldn't be posting positive trust for the lender. And the way you're posing the question makes it sound like trust farming as the others already mentioned... don't do that. Don't trade just because you want trust. Trade if you need the thing/service/etc being traded.

Terminated.

The lending section is very often used to farm trust, just look at zazarb. The answer is: very likely.

Well if you do deals with certain people on DT then you might get it from them after the successful trade, but it's usually seen as pretty shady doing this and I certainly don't trust people who do it and if you're lending money just for the sake of getting trusted feedback then this is more likely to get you negative trust than anything else. Why do you even want dt trust? Be a trusted and active member and earn your trust over time, but this isn't the way to go about it. Trying to find a quick way to become trusted by pointlessly lending money is the opposite of being trusted if anything.

Yes. No. Depends.

If people realize that you do things only to gain trust, you might get a negative one instead.

Trust farming is against the rules.

It is not farming if the trust they gave is unsolicited.

But you're looking for DT people to do trades with so it's pretty manipulative regardless of whether you ask them to leave you feedback or not. People put far too much trust in the feedback system. Someone could have hundreds of positive green trust but if they're all for lending small amounts then it counts for very little.
