Topic: Trust not displayed in "Beginners and help" - page 2. (Read 1426 times)
One does not need to trust a person who is giving an advice and the Beginners section is just to help newbies. There are some members who try to confuse them by promoting ponzis. It should just be ignored as even members witha good trust promise scam ponzis in their signatures. Only when you are dealing with the users like Marketplace, Lending and similar currency exchange/trading sections need one to be trusted and not the other sections.
I think trust is only displayed in the Marketplace & it's sub sections, so that's - Child Boards: Goods, Services, Currency exchange, Gambling, Lending, Securities, Auctions, Service Announcements, Service Discussion plus Trading Discussion, Scam Accusations & Reputation.
Just by looking at the board names above you can see why trust is displayed there. I sort of see it from both sides, why does trust need to be displayed in Bitcoin Discussion & Speculation etc as you're not doing any potential business with anybody there & no services are being offered there. If they are they soon get moved to the correct board.
From the other side maybe things should be transparent, if somebody has lots of negative trust why shouldn't it be totally visible immediately. It's a difficult discussion & I'm glad I don't have to make it
**Always make sure you do your due diligence when entering a trade with another member here - look into using an escrow - there are many trustworthy members offering this even for 0% fee**

Agreed, it should be, there's np opportunity cost to not showing it.
indeed it should be displayed everywhere, theres no point in hiding it, specially for newbies, im pretty sure it would be useful for them to know when someone is promoting something, a link or whatever if he has -60 trust they shouldnt bother clicking the link or at least be really careful. I think what it should be done is something like a guide for every new user, something that pops up and explains how everything works, maybe for the first 20 logins a pop-up showing how trust works, the time limits, avatars etc etc
Why?
I know there's a lot of debate about the trust system, but if we've got it, why not use it and display it everywhere?
Just had a look at a standard newbie question "Place to invest?" and there's some goon with -32 pushing a ponzi, but his trust doesn't show so there's no indication for the OP that the post is of dubious value.
I know Caveat Emptor blah blah but this seems anomalous.
