Regarding your example, as already mentioned before, I bet you whatever you want, before to deal with someone you check both list..So its pointless posting more copy paste feedback...
It's not pointless. It affects trust scores too. For example I see an orange "-3" on your account and it's far more informative than "0" would be if only one person posted negative trust for you and that person happened to be not in my trust list.
You could also see 0 0 0 but the fact remains that you check both lists before making the trade...I think more then 2 copy pasted feedback are useless, even to avoid your problem of seeing orange or grey.
You have no case. The trust system works exactly as expected here.
It does not seem to me that I have criticized the system of trust but its abuse, they are two distinct things. And if you think the opposite then the word "trust abuser" is just a taboo.
When users post feedback ratings they shouldn't be looking how many others did that etc. They should be posting their own assessment.
TRUE! But, at least, have the
decency to express an opinion before sending a negative feedback or copying one, don't you think? I think everyone should have their own opinion, but if NOT DIRECTLY interested, their opinion should (or at least most of the time) be neutral (preferably refrain if there are already other equal feedbacks.)
And just out of curiosity, why shouldn't they look at the number of feedback from others? it is obvious that a copy paste is a method of gaining "experience" in the field of feedback. "Trust farm" (Indirectly)
Multiple users consider your behavior untrustworthy. That's reflected in your feedback.
And as I think of it, for this reason there should be neutral feedback where negative feedback is not needed. To mitigate the total score .. otherwise see user with 30 positive feedbacks and in the last 3 days he cheated 5 users (hypothetical example), all of use
can change! Or be hacked..
"He has 30 positive feedbacks, I trust without checking" - Cit.
If i have 4 negative feedback by 4 different users regaring the same mistake, i could not be elegible for events/contest becouse they count numbers of negative feedback and not numbers of mistake
That is neither here nor there. If you didn't want red trust, you shouldn't have engaged in untrustworthy behavior.
Its all here! Someone can tollerate 5 negative feedback...but, since there is abuse, those 5 feedbacks are 25 because everyone said his own on every of the 5 mistakes.
Emphasis mine.
That's fine, and you are perfectly entitled to hold that opinion, but it's not how the trust system works. Given that there have been far more egregious misuses of the trust system than 4 users leaving entirely justified feedback that have gone unmoderated (and still do), you aren't going to be successful in getting an admin to step in here.
My friend, re-read everything well. I'm not going to call in an admin, I'm just going to write a list of those people, which I think abuses the trust system ...
Don't come up with non-existent arguments!Go and look at the profiles of some of the worst scammers currently active on the forum.
game-protect springs to mind. From a default trust point of view, that account has 40+ negatives all due to the same behavior. Seeing an entire page of red on his trust wall as opposed to just one single red rating, and seeing
-37 rather than
-1 next to his name, are far more effective at warning people to steer clear of this user at all costs.
I repeat, go and re-read everything. VERY WELL.
I'm not defending scamer with -40 negative feedback, do you understand? So, in your opinion, if trolls left me negative feedback and took me to -30 then I am to be avoided? We must first see why I received them and how many are copied ... I repeat it again, you think of the numbers and not the quality of the feedback itself. And on the other hand, seeing a green 30 and a red -1, doesn't calm me down at all, I'll still go and check all his feedback.

As I explained above, several ratings referencing the same incidence are not only permissible, but desirable.
Please tell me you're kidding!
Just to give you an example in real life ..
If I met you and slapped you with the excuse "You are not an angel, surely you have done something bad to deserve it", how would you react? E.g "You betrayed your girlfriend and she slapped you, I do the same. The way you think it is a fair thing apparently ...
...more precisely:
Quote
1) Without a valid intervention in the discussion concerning the feedback.
2) Without a valid contribution to unmask / find the scammer."
For this reason, neutral feedback should be more present at the expense of negative feedback, especially for those who watch and do not intervene or in any case have nothing to do with the completed act.
