BY everyone excluding the bad apples, it makes certain they Lose DT Status and their reign of abuse ends.
Sadly it is the best that can be done, preferable wold be to scrap the whole useless DT system.
All adding members does is create default trust gangs, that will still abuse the system for their personal gain.
DT is a corrupt system, no matter how it is managed. And it harms more than it ever helped.

I disagree. It is only a warning system.
If I see a warning for trolling I would react differently to that user than if I saw a warning for an actual scam where people lost funds.
Even with a scam warning - different people have different opinions as to what happened and what constitutes a scam. So the details and description is important.
Lauda is one of the DT members that I don't know & haven't communicated with. But I do know that it was a mess when Lauda got removed from DT because many real scammers (my definition) were no longer identifiable as such.
Hopefully the new system will be an improvement of sorts and encourage users to create better trust networks based on actual trust.
From what I have seen is that it is a curse to be on the DT list. It appears to attract the wrath of trolls and scammers.
Exactly you use the red tag alone , never bothering to read what events actually conspired.
Lauda is one of the Major Scammers on BTCtalk,
you think Theymos kicked her off the staff because she was innocent , come on guy , you can't be that naive.
Scan the Bitcoin Cash Thread, and you find multiple people red tagged by lauda merely for the fact they prefer BCH over BTC , no other reason.
* My own red tag was merely for pointing out known flaws in LN, so much for freedom of speech on this forums. *
How do you justify such an extreme abuse of the DT system?
The Problem with DT is the members are Judge , Jury and Executioner with NO APPEALS PROCESS WHATSOEVER, their word is Law and you have no recourse.
Without an appeals process the whole DT is a Sham and always will be.
