I think there's an argument that known scammers can contribute to discussions and projects. In fact they can change completely and no longer be scammers.

I never noticed that kind of behaviour. If that happens then yeah it's better not to show it.

I think it could be good to show it in Meta though. (No hot debates here)

Do you think so? Why?
Do people think scammer never say anything right or worth something?

I personally always check why someone is negatively rated so after that it's easy to know whether you should listen to the guy depending on the context

I think there would be a lot of un needed chatter if trust was shown everywhere. It really only needs to be shown where transactions are taking place in my opinion. Sample senario

1) OP makes a poll to ask why there is no trust in Meta (OP has negative trust)

2) Someone responds

3) Fifteen others go off topic and start badgering the OP about their trust rating.


It would guess it would be similar in other sections too, but just imagine what it would be like somewhere like politics where people are debating. As soon as you get into an argument with someone, they throw the scammer flag.

In short, if you aren't doing business with them, it shouldn't matter. And like I said a few posts ago, if it actually is important that you know what their trust is, you can always just check their profile.

No. I always check also. But, it's noticeable. Dank for example when ever he is discussing outside of the lending forum people always mention the loan he owns. I don't think it's the issue with people not thinking the scammer has anything good to say it's whether they can trust them or not.

Exactly what I was going for.

I agree but showing trade trustworthiness doesn't prevent them from giving useful ideas so I don't see how your post justifies not to show it
It's just additional info

I think people would be quick to judge and not trust or listen to their involvement in the discussion because they have a bad trust rating.

Is there any reason why it isn't shown everywhere?

Trade trustworthiness is irrelevant to discussion. Scammers can still contribute useful ideas to a discussion.

That and if you care, you can always just open the user in question's profile in a new tab and check their trust from there.

Sometimes people aren't that smart  Cheesy.

It doesn't have to contribute to a discussion, but it can be a useful warning sign. I would've thought scammers with smeared reputations would or could use this to their advantage. I don't see any harm in showing it or any reasons for removing it in certain sections.
