Topic: Massive abuse in the Russian section. - page 12. (Read 4876 times)

A notable suggestion by the user peloso (post #47):
If you believe that publicly colluding is analgous to the DT changes announcement thread, then you should stay far away from DT.

In other words, the DT list is a collective intelligence aggregator of hundreds and thousands of reviews left by hundreds of users over the years of the trust system. Now imagine that each user is a site with reviews. A list of DT1 and DT2-an aggregator of sites with reviews. The aggregator comes to such a site (a page with user reviews) and sees that there are no reviews on the site(page) at all or there are very few of them. Will the aggregator include such a site in its list? The answer I think is obvious. Only when it will be useful and unique reviews-that's when it is likely that such a site will be interested in the aggregator and he will be interested in including this site in your list! (just as Google and Yandex to include in the search results primarily unique and informative sites)

The moral of all the above:

1. If you want to participate and take a worthy place in the trust system of the forum-understand and accept it!
2. To abandon the system of trust forum-it's about the same as not having your search engine to abandon Google or Yandex when searching for the right sites.
3. Start creating your trust sheet that the aggregator was keen to integrate you into their network.
4. Even if your reviews are not yet trust-write them anyway-it's your Luggage for the future and it's your feedback and your unique experience!
5. When creating reviews, be sure to leave a Reference link: (this is especially true of negative reviews)

I quite literally predicted this would happen:

This is the topic where there is an exchange of views on the new trust system.

This is analogous to the topic DefaultTrust changes, but only in Russian

TMAN doesn't need your merit don't waste it.

My feedback of this user was given for the creation of this topic dedicated to the trust: [Challenge] Create your Trust list - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/trust-5096402

If leaving such feedback is a problem-tell me: "Bro is a problem!" and I will not leave such feedback!

As I wrote earlier I am still very inexperienced in matters of trust, but I'm learning fast:

A bored Newbie with a hacked Legendary account could pull this off. Then exclude all other DT1 accounts, and the hostile takeover of the trust network is complete (until manual intervention).

I can imagine other communities will make their own DT1 "clique": for example a group of Russians, a group of Indonesians and a group of bounty hunters. As long as they stay out of each other's hair, they can co-exist. The moment they touch, it feels like a black hole collision competing for exclusions.
The old DT-system felt like it meant something, the new system changes every few hours.

Figured I might as well get this shit public as I am gonna have half the red army after me, I don't care if they manage to exclude me from DT, I just figure others need to be made aware of this behavior

~ But if it looks like a "scammer's cartel" is forming, then I'd change the criteria to fix it. For example, one obvious weak point is that you can try to push an infinite number of people into DT1 by trusting as many people as you want; one way to try to fix this would be to take only a fixed-size random subset of everyone's trust list into account, perhaps with the size determined by the truster's merit. But for now I am very much inclined to just let it roll for a while and see exactly where the cracks appear.
