Do not trust based on forum status...I did that and got scammed pretty good. The guy that scammed me was a donor and had a good amount of green trust. I learned that lesson the hard way, and hope others do not have to get screwed to also learn it. I trust a few people here, but only due to trades and there feedback.

A rank is just a rank, you could be the most corrupted man alive and be legendary.

No, you WOULD be Legendary!

Go to a persons trust page and it will tell you there at the top if it has been reset recently.

but you also have to take into account the possibility that the account may be compromised so check other things like if their password has been reset

Where can I see this information about last password reset?

You shouldn't blindly trust anyone here just because of their rank or trust score but you can use them when weighing up your judgment. For instance, a Legendary member is unlikely to scam you out of 0.05btc because he could sell the account for far more and his reputation is likely worth something to him, but you also have to take into account the possibility that the account may be compromised so check other things like if their password has been reset and if their language or behaviour has changed recently etc. If in doubt insist on using a trusted escrow (but apply the same rules and logic to them also).

Legendary accounts can be sold too, for example, you can see a legendary account with positive trust being sold here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-my-legendary-member-account-884060


Also you can see some legendary members with negative trust.

So no, never trust legendary people only because they are legendary, ever when they have positive trust

Legendary just means your post count is over like 840-950 or something.

It doesn't mean anything else besides that.



No, it deals with your activity.
My post count exceeds 1,000 and I am still a full member.

The important thing is not posts count but your activity. You need to have at least activity 775 to become Legendary. That means your forum age should be at least 775 days.

But legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement. You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity,but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.

But should we trust them in every thing they say?

Hell no, why would you trust anybody with everything they say? Bit of a weird comment lol

Accounts can be bought and feedback can be padded, rank status shouldn't be a measure of trustworthiness.

Here in bitcointalk a lot of members attain the Legendary status.

Yes there a lot of them who is a great help to a certain site.

But should we trust them in every thing they say?
There are actually only 301 legendary members, out of roughly 385,000, therefore legendary members make up less then 1% of the population.

No you should not trust what they say or factor in the fact that they are a legendary member when making a determination if they should be trusted.

if i have to choose to lend / deposit my coins between: (a) newbie (b) legendary with + status, i'd choose the latter

My choice would be whoever demonstrated better trustworthiness (that doesn't automatically mean the legendary account) and always with the understanding that anyone can turn scammer given sufficient motivation.

maybe but like see dooglus is legendary and you expect 100% honesty from him now Smiley

No. You can literally spam / troll your way to legendary over time.. same with hero. You can also buy these accounts. No idea why people put so much trust in some of those members when there is no reason to.

Yeah, I think there was one suggestion where 3 legendarys could vote ban you, no way! That would mean 3 danks could ban us all! Rank is not an indication of trust, dank is legendary yet I don't think you would be willing to give him a 50 BTC loan.

Trust is a serious question, maybe somebody buys or hacks some legendary accounts, do you trust him/her?

I know some full members and senior members, even hero members are scammers.

Isn't activity related to quality posts?

Maybe not! I'm not sure.

Nope, you get 14 activity every 2 weeks if you make 14 posts. Even if your posts are nonsense, you still get the activity if you make 14 posts. ....

Ahhhh ic!

Thanks

Wait you can only achieve 14 activity every 2 weeks? And is it given out every 2 weeks or when you hit 14

The max is 14 activity ever 2 weeks, yes. It is given out every 2 weeks once you hit 14 more posts.
