1) On average, how much do you trust online community. Since there are numerous such communities I am asking about non-social sites such as forums like India-Forums

 

I used to trust the online community a hell lot, but not anymore. There's been nothing big that broke my trust or anything, but I do believe giving off ones true identity in the online community is pretty foolish.

Please rate 0-100 and provide a confidence measure

E.g. 70 +- 20

 

Eh?

2) What are the factors that increase or decrease your trust.

 

Umm...if someone I don't know asks for my identity / info. out of the blue.

3) Give us an example of something that might shake the trust of those who have trusted you on that particular matter. Point? Give us some gossips. lol.

 

Hmmm...

4) Has someone shaken your trust (in same context i.e. forums). No need to name names.

 

No one in particular, no. No one big enough to name.

5) Concluding remarks on how should we see online trust.

 

Note: Please answer each question. The purpose of this topic is to get to the mindset of an average forum member and see what they think about trusting others and how, on average, they see fellow members.

What exactly do you mean by trust? i dont mind talking to any of the forum members in real life or any human being for that matter if i have time 😆 and opportunity.

on an average i talk to more people than others normally do.

100 percent therefore unless i got the question wrong.

E.g. 70 +- 20

 

2) What are the factors that increase or decrease your trust.

not sure again what kind of trust i would have on someone i only know online.  dont think i'd worry unless something affects me personally or professionally.

 

3) Give us an example of something that might shake the trust of those who have trusted you on that particular matter. Point? Give us some gossips. lol.

dont think people trust to that level online. worst case i will give out my identity to someone who might make it public.. but how does it matter if in a really big big world few hundred more people know me?

 

4) Has someone shaken your trust (in same context i.e. forums). No need to name names.

no. have i broken anyone's trust? dont know 😆 unless they tell me..

 

5) Concluding remarks on how should we see online trust.

actually I dont like so much privacy on this forum, i dont want to see your picture.. but i do want to know your name and what you do so that i know if i want to interact with you more or not..but people said they would be embarrassed to let real life contacts know what they post here, so fair enough..i too personally dont want people from work to know what i post here, but im pretty sure none of them(the ones i care about) would ever know of this forum in next two lives..

gossip: 😆 i know identity of 5 persons from the forum, hope i have nt broken their trust

 I don't really trust online community so much, however one of my best friends in real are from a online site ..But the thing is you cant trust people in real so trusting people online is abit out of line.. probs around 90%

 uhm? ( dont understand this question :S )

2) What are the factors that increase or decrease your trust.

 nothing really unless someone asks me to call them or something like that.😆

3) Give us an example of something that might shake the trust of those who have trusted you on that particular matter. Point? Give us some gossips. lol.

 nothing really..i dont see people trusting strangers online so much.

4) Has someone shaken your trust (in same context i.e. forums). No need to name names.

 urmm..once but it was nothing major.

5) Concluding remarks on how should we see online trust.

 

If you do trust someone online in my opinion you shouldn't go over the top on how you trust them..i.e. if they say to you to meet them and you only know them little about them you shouldn't go meet them😲 to communicate with someone online you need abit of common sense to be honest.😊

1. i trust people on online forums one hundred percent, no uncertainty about that... 

of course it's easier to trust people when they don't matter.😆

2. if someone makes a total jackass out of themselves, i trust them more. It fits in with my hypothesis and observation of the sort of people (other than a few) who inhabit forums.😆

3. maybe i break their trust on the rare occasion when i don't feel like being my usual  smart self.😆

4. no, they rarely disappoint me in their ability to act foolishly and make asses of themselves.

5. trust completely. Just make sure you watch your back all the time.😆

hope you send us an autographed copy of the book when you're done with the path-breaking findings.😆
