I imagine it would be complicated and difficult to go through each user on the list to see if they belong.

If anyone is interested in the trust list of every person, you may check the thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/trust-graph-684268 Smiley

For example, user U1TRA_L0RD is trusted in DefaultTrust from bitpop, while he has unanimously negative feedback that is from DefaultTrust and also negative-spammed Vod.

Should this be handled in general? I do not mean to single out U1TRA_L0RD as an example, there are potentially more such users that do not belong on DefaultTrust. Or should I PM the person that trusts him (in this case bitpop) to resolve this?
I recommend PMing the person that trusts him since he's responsible for maintaining his trust list.

This is definitely the best way to handle it.

U1TRA_L0RD's feedback are hidden and "untrusted" by default, unless you set your trust depth at 3.
There is another similar case for TradeFortress (Free hugs! ♥) Tongue

I thought the default was 3. Am I mistaken?

The default depth is indeed 2, according to my own experience and also https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/marketplace-trust-211858.
These scores are taken from your trust network. They are not global scores. You can edit your trust network here:

If your trust depth is set to 2 (the default), you will trust feedback by people you trust, people they trust, and people they trust. I might change the default in the future; we'll see how this works. Your trust list is public.
