I did the same a week ago.
| yahoo62278 | | 2022-05-25 | | | | I cannot but note that yahoo62278 showed himself in the best possible way in various areas where our common interests could intersect. I can't help but mention his independent mindset (even when it comes to forum dramas), which I think subtly highlights his lifestyle. Without a doubt, this is one of the few people for whom I am ready to vouch. |
Now I attach even more importance to this feedback.
I seen that when I was checking bpip and you dropped off my list.
Yahoo, your word is much more powerful than a single DT1 position..
Agreed
It's worse than that: if the people who use the Trust system correctly drop out, that leaves the ones who shouldn't be on DT1.
Which brings up another point. If users shouldn't be on DT1 then why the hell are they even eligible? Kinda makes no sense.
But I didn't understand, could any of the people who participated here clarify a bit more, since drama was talked about: as an example, do you consider JollyGood to be the problem on DT1 or Royse777? Because one is tagging the other for scamming, and the other is accusing the first of abusing the trust system. So you can't say both, because Royse777 is either a scammer or he isn't. You can't just say "well, let's stay neutral and forget about it, nothing to see here".
I just have the feeling though that the few voices left talking against and tagging scammers are about to get booted out from DT1.
Jollygood and Royse have drama between them, they are not letting it spew out amongst the rest of the community as far as it leading to more silly tags. Having an opinion shouldn't keep you from DT. That's why I think when someone makes a new account to voice an opinion it needs to be ignored. Not because their opinion may be right or wrong, but more because they shouldn't hide. If I wanna call someone a bitch I will. No reason for me to hide, I want a person to know what I think about them.
DT was not supposed to be a power seeking position and considering it as your own property. Unfortunately some power seeking users are using it as a tool for them to silent others. They are using the loophole of the voting system. Even a post against their argument will earn you a tilde.
Some users post an opinion and are unwilling to compromise or see anyone else's point of view. They are right and you cannot change their minds. I think those types( hell I may be that way at times but eventually i calm down and come to my senses lol) need to take a day and think before they react or post on a topic. Posting with a hothead is just gonna cause more drama and maybe tags that are inappropriate. Usually the community steps up and tells someone when they're being dumb and people come to their senses, but like I said above noone should get tagged for their opinion even if it might be a bad opinion.
you know that this will not change your status much, you will still be in the DT selection because, it sounds a bit strange, but others decide about it.
I don't think his motive was necessarily to get himself removed from DT but to protest against the system itself, which is a mockery of what it used to be prior to this rotating lunacy. That was a bad idea IMO, and honestly after reading this thread I'm thinking about doing exactly what Yahoo62278 did. I think the DT system sucks, and I already know whose feedback I trust (and if I'm not sure, I can always click on a member's trust profile) so I don't need to have a custom trust list or any list for that matter.
Props to you, Yahoo62278, for leading the revolution.
WHO CARES !!!!!!
Who the fuck are
you?
Just as eddie13 said, your word is more powerful than DT. I would like to think he was referring to every user, not just myself.
Trust list (default lists/etc) have been played around with too much.
People are trying to manipulate DT to gain reputation on this forum and eventually someone gonna do a huge scam because of it. A user can easily manipulate the system and gain IMO false reputation in the community just by hanging out in the collectibles section. Bid on some auctions, buy some shit, sell some shit, and boom gain positive ratings and likely inclusions. All that and never making a post outside of collectibles. Hence why we need 2 systems. A user hanging out buying and selling likely doesn't participate in the rest of the forum and shouldn't be in a position to make decisions about other users. They should be labeled an honest and trustworthy trader, not a community rep.
I decided to take a bit of advice and clear my trust list. dkbit98 made a suggestion and while I do not think it would force theymos to do anything, I do think DT isn't really a prestigious position to hold any longer. Also a bit tired of the drama and manipulation that is seen by users when it comes to DT. I may change my mind later but for now my trust list is empty. My distrust list still exists for now.
I am thinking of doing the same thing, but I would like if other members could do the same if they think DT system is currently broken.
EDIT: done, I cleaned my trust list also, and I will consider making new one after (possible) DT theymos reform.
Welcome to the light!!!
