Agreed, most of this should be filed as bugs. But the one thing on which everything depends is sub-menus, we need to solve that soon. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have been watching this debate an I was wondering whether it could help to have 2 sets of trust values for each identity in a trust list, this could mean you could mark an identity as spamming or that I don't want to see these posts again as i find them objectionable. The spam tag would mean

se who trust the parent identity also as spammers for purposes of trust list trust (if we trust them; if we don't, it's not our problem; we are trying to optimise the network *for other people*, particularly for newbies, here). We can try to be polite about this using ultimatums, since it's likely that they didn't deliberately choose to trust the spam-parent knowing he is a spam-parent - but if they don't respond in some period by removing him from their trust list, we will have to reduce our trust in them. This will cause collateral damage and may be abused for censorship which might be even more dangerous than the current problems on FMS. However, if there is a LOT of spam, or if we want the network to be fairly spam-free for newbies, the first two options are insufficient. :| > > Having the review mechanism available makes sense to me, so long as it > is not required. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

That is, if somebody replies to a message, by default they gain some trust, but there is a box you can uncheck ... we could even have this turned off by default on test boards?

good trust estimates of people I've never seen before? In FMS, there is currently a simple page, where the latest added identities are listed and how they where listed. So if you get many spamming identities and they are all added from 1 trusted peer, just remove his trustlist trust and all those new spamming identities wont reach you. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
