Thanks. I have added the flag URL into the first post now.
What is a DT member? Any legendary status?
Can you tell me against where I can ask for flag support? I think somebody told me before but I completely forgot.
Simplified DT [Default Trust] are list of people whose judgment and views of many aspects are considered as... "trusted" by the forum. If you see that score next to each username, the +0/ =0 /-0, some shows +4 and some shows -5, that's because a DT leave a feedback on that user's trust score, either a positive, neutral, or negative. +4 means 4 DT leave a positive feedback on them, =3 means 3 DT leave neutral feedback on them, -5 means 5 DT, and so on.
If a non-DT leave a feedback, their feedback won't show by default and won't reflect on their trust score, though it's still accessible through "show ratings" below the "untrusted feedback" part of the trust page.
Similarly, a flag requires DT supports to be active. You can have dozens of users supporting it, and it still won't be active unless the DT supports requirements are met, as you can see in your own flag, where many people were supporting it, yet it's still not active due to insufficient support.
1 DT support for type-1 flag, and 3 DT supports for each type-2 and type-3 flag.
3 supports means there has to be 3 DTs more in total who supports or opposes it. So, suppose it's supported by 3 DTs and opposed by 1 DT, it still won't active, as the total who supports it were only 2 [unless it's opposed by a DT2 and supported by DT1, but let's not swim in that headache right now]. Similarly, if it's supported by several DTs and opposed by more DTs, it won't be active.
And no, a rank won't affect it, neither is merit. Someone can be a legendary with 10,000 merit [and let me throw +100 feedback, while we're at it] and he's probably still not a DT. There are other sytem and a whole different mechanism regarding DT, but that's the gist of it. If you have more questions about DT, feel free to ask.
