Q: User Foo is certified but I think he’s a [moron | republican | democrat | witch | Microsoft employee | other despised class of person]. Doesn’t that mean the trust metric is broken?
A: No, the purpose of the trust metric is to certify that a given user account on Advogato is known by the Advogato community to actually belong to the individual who claims it and is known to be a member of the free software and open source community. The user may be an crank, annoying, or of a political persuasion that you don’t agree with. What the trust metric attempts to guarantee is that they really are who they say they are and that they are a member of the free software community in some sense. The particular certification level (e.g. apprentice, journeyer, master) also gives a hint at the reputation the person holds within the community.
