I think it has to do with how long you've been here and how much you post, and maybe something else.

Heh, personally, this "trust" system we have in place kinda reminds of XBL's TrueSkill system. They both have a magical, secret algorithm, and they both have two main variables (at least, that we know of):

base_trust, base_skill
trust_modifier (which can be modified via bans, or good behavior), and skill_modifier (which is influences by how many wins you have in a row, or any myriad of reasons).

It's kinda, sorta, but not really like it, but you get my point.

I think the trust system is alright. In my OP it is not a must. But a nice feature. The report button however Is a M.U.S.T! "many users spam to". so the feature really helps :)

Well I guess thats it.

  • 03.18.2008 10:13 AM PDT

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Did we really start a discussion on Trust and wind up talking about the member status title? I love A.D.D. and all, but if you're concerned about Bungie trusting you as a member, don't give them a reason not to trust you...

If you're concerned about becoming a Heroric, Legendary, or Mythic member, then grab a bottle of epic and guzzle until you see what you wanna see =)

Well Enough Alone...

I think some things are automated such as your time on bungie.net, activeness, number of bans/ warnings/ locked topics, ect. But other things like how helpfull or nice or suportive you are in the forums are monitored by ninjas.

  • 03.18.2008 2:42 PM PDT

I don't think Trust is an actual numerical value.

  • 03.18.2008 2:57 PM PDT

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Well... I rolled... and my trust is a 19. That's without my +5 modifier from being over the age of 24.

And the gears will spin.
And the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell.
And the righteous few will spit on you.
So bid them all farewell.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who don't have the courage to take charge of their own lives.

I believe I've seen Achronos say that the "Trust System" cannot be controlled. It's a mathematical process (only understood by him). The Ninjas' bans and such contribute to one's "Trust Score," but they cannot directly change one's "Trust Score."



I paraphrazed the hell out of that, but that was the general idea he was getting at, I believe.

The secret should never be revealed on how the system truly works. It should stay with Bungie till death!

Here's to you, Bungie. 7,777 Covenant Heads on my spear.

I recently found out how much of an impact a three-day ban can have on a user's trust. I was blacklisted by Ash55 a few days ago, when I was a Heroic Member, and I went back to Member, and no matter how much of a good special boy I am, It won't go up.

Ah well, It's not like that gives me permission to be a jerk, so I'll just keep following the rules like the huggy muggy wuggy teddy bear I am.

Now I demand a cookie.

I am suddenly a normal member again, after being a Heroic member for a few months. How does that work? I have receved no blacklisting or warnings (that I have been told about) and I don't think I have spammed or anything. What makes you change in a negetive way?

I have been demoted as well, to a Legendary member. Maybe the system was adjusted and we don't fit the criteria anymore? :/

I'm just posting here because I like to stalk SgtSTFU.

And to prove that it doesn't really matter what your rank is...but everyone will keep asking anyway.

I pm'ed Achronos and here is what he had to say:
It is because the thresholds for ratings change daily based on the maximum possible trust one could have (which also changes daily). If you're right on the edge, it is possible that you'll flip flop occassionally.

This has happened to me before and it could very well be the case again. I'll just wait and see. No biggie...

Jealousy is a common trait amongst those of the lower class.

  • 03.19.2008 6:03 PM PDT

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

they probably flip a 3 sided coin....
