Mostly because if I trust the content you share (by upvoting it), it doesn't mean I trust your upvotes.
This makes sense.
In this release, trust is gained when two users upvote the same piece of content and diminished when one user upvotes something the other user doesn't
Does this mean that participating MORE in Stacker News can make the trust LESS? So it isn't only additive anymore?
Honestly, It isn't important to me ... the thing should work even if it was a complete blackbox. It piqued my interest from a programmers perspective.

If you participate poorly, yes you will be trusted less. Also if you don’t participate at all, you will be trusted less. It’s only by participating well that you’ll be trusted more.

Will we be notified if we are deemed to have “participated poorly”? Or will it be a back room deal? Also, we need a delete button for our own content.

Back room deal is kind of derisive and inaccurate. The deal is made in public by other users. There’s no punishment. You just aren’t rewarded.
I’ll be creating a thread where everyone can request enhancements on Monday. I’ll add deleting (likely limited to within the edit window) to the list.

FWIW, there should be a consideration for just sheer contribution over time because some of us don't have that 'x' factor that gets upvoted

This is good feedback. I’ll be revisiting rewards regularly. Is there any type of specific activities you think are valuable that we’re missing?

Literally just volume of activity. I really like to comment on posts that don't have much commenting to feed the community some attention, but it doesn't get any kuddos or clout. I live on the /recent page when I'm on SN just to catch the little things

That’s very helpful. I’ll try to use your profile when I model rewards next and see if I can get them to overlap.

Gotcha, so "trusted less" doesn't mean "downvoted" or anything. Thanks man. I've been contributing a lot (or feels like it) and haven't made more than 100 sats in earn for a few weeks so it just feels like grasping at straws. I know we're taking about fractions of cents, but it's more the mental "appreciation" token than anything
