mikeywith is trustworthy
I'm cherry-picking this part of your post, because I think this is the wrong reason to add someone to your Trust list.
I believe this is the correct use of the Trust system:
Don't confuse your Trust list with feedback
Trust feedback: leave feedback to people you trust or don't trust. Or leave neutral comments.
Trust list: a list of people who's judgement on others you trust (username) or don't trust (~username).
So if you think mikeywith is trustworthy, leave him positive feedback.
I can think of
other reasons to include him in your Trust list, just not this one.
Update: I now see
nutildah said the same on the next page. I'll leave this here anyway, because it's still a common mistake to confuse Trust list and Trust feedback
(and it doesn't help that the forum calls everything "Trust").
I received all my trust despite not having traded on this forum.
Another way of saying this is that you didn’t earn any of your trust.
Challenge accepted!
First, see this:
Now tell you which positive feedback is more deserved:
Mine from jeremypwr:
Anyway can buy/sell/escrow and build up such a list. It's much more difficult to have people trust you based on something other than $$.
You and I have a major disagreement over this.
My rules for trust as in a feedback and for putting people on my trust list do not match with yours.
Okay theymos is on my trust list for obvious political reasons.
I have been questioned
over buysolar
I have been questioned
over generalt
So here goes a new one
wndsnb is not on any of my lists I did a third deal involving him this week.
he has been here for 6 years. He now has some actual dt1 trust.
he has given good advice he has not abused the system
So I am going to put him on both my feedback trust and my actual trust list.
Which will be an example of self scratching. If he decides to give me a feedback.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/wndsnb-366233.
if you look at him he has been underrated for forum merits for years
he never earned a lot of merits because he did not seek them out.
To further continue my rant I want people to understand this particular attack on Ognasty was used on me.
So I will carefully show many people left off my lists due to the attack done to me.
I don't like this attack on anyone because I have seen it done to minerjones ,myself and Ognasty.
And I think it is a form of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyismNow if you look at what I did with wndsnb a contributing member to the forum if he gives me a feedback I look like a self scratch.
So you hinder me from rating people that I do business with.
Or you hinder me from doing business from people I previously rated.It is wrong.
rant over.
not quite as
I repeat
this affects any and all of us that buy sell or escrow on the forum.
