There is currently a "Monty feature" wherein a person can be flagged as a credit risk. Something that would aid the services industry greatly would be an ability to flag someone as a credit...un... risk.......... thing......
Anyway, it would make it easier to give better rates to people if I knew I could trust them. Of course... a scammer would just wait until he got the trusty tag... but whatever. It's an idea.

I think that this option would only be useful for someone with a credit risk having it removed when he/she pays the debt completely and within set limits of time.
To putt a trusty tag on someone would mean that 50% of the community would receive it...
Yeah, maybe.. is that such a bad thing?

Yes....imagine the task of going through the entire community and deciding whether or not to give them a flag or not. O_O
Not to mention the oversensitive people who play whose feelings would be hurt if they did not receive a 'trust tag'.
Everyone would have to have one, and then there'd be no point in having one.

Proving someone trustworthy is a little more subjective than proving them un-trustworthy.
Anyone with a flag has already been proved to have deceived a member of the community. The flag is merely a warning for others that they must at least think about the risk before dealing with this person.
I have friends of friends who I would trust as far as I could roll my PC up Mt Everest with one push. I've always found trust to be something earned and not given on the basis of others opinion.
Just my opinion on the matter...
Also, If I were un-trustworthy I'd create a multi account and swear my other account was trustworthy until an admin flagged him as an "all round good guy". :)
You can roll your PC up Mt. Everest???
