You can safely start ignoring DT1 members unless they are abusing the system in one way or another (be it via bad inclusions or exclusions). Clearly.

To me he is someone  trustworthy and i bet many members would agree with me. His contributions to the forum is enough evidence of someone who loves the forum.
Sending out feeback or trading are not the only actions one can do in the forum to show that one is trustworthy.

DdmrDdmr has also been quite resourceful in the Help and Beginners board. Helping and awarding those who help newbies some merit. He's one of the few people whom i know does not indulge so much in the "Political Noise" around the forum and instead chooses to contribute and engage in much more important forum discussions which is very commendable.

How is he not related to the trust system? Every member on the forum is part of the trust system by default. Being on the trust list has nothing to do with dealing with scams or being an active scam hunter.

AFAIK, they're logical, contribute statistically to the forum and make valid points.

Who said DT's are formed to protect the newbies? Stop making those assumptions. You should discuss your concerns with the people who included them on the DT, the opinions of the rest of the community wouldn't make a difference.

No doubts Ddmrddmr is a good contributor, but he/she isn't much related with trust system or dealing with scams or likely scam. But seems Ddmrddmr already on DT1 by voting system and directly voted by 8 DT1. Feedback's left by Ddmrddmr is likely appropriate. I believe he/she will not abuse his power since he isn't much active on trust system.

However since forum give opportunity to be DT1 member by voting system so everyone can be if they are not blacklisted.  

Frankly, I created my Personal Trust List as per @Theymo’s encouragement for people to create them. Until then I was OK with DT as it was, bearing in mind that the scores are indicators that need to be endorsed by checking the actual feedback comments.

Being on DT means nothing to me personally. I do not trade here, nor likely will, and tagging accounts is perhaps not something I will feel the urge to do in the boards that I visit  more often (mainly my Local Board, Beginners & Help and Meta, and reading through some other BTC related). These boards are not that prone to require tagging accounts, at least what I’ve seen so far, and a Report to Moderator is more often than not the correct approach there.

Now if tagging should be a complementary measure of the right to be on DT, then so be it. I for one would be fine with it, were it to become a requirement. Of course @Theymos would have to create a semantical analysis complementary part to his algorithm, to avoid tags being counted per se if they are meaningless and borderline spam. That’s a tough one to do, so I guess one could consider that @Theymos would then need to skim through the DT list and veto for the round those that are not tagging in a "righteous" manner .. and do this every month … a bit of a pain in the backside I’d say.

Now with all the DT battle struggles that have being going on lately , I’d say that there are better bones to pick …

Note: By the way, a way to upper the requirements a notch could be to take into account the number of people that have merited the person in the DT votes. It’s not exactly the same having earned 10 merits from a single person than from at least 5 different people. 

DdmrDdmr is not a member whose inclusion on DT1 I would contest.  He makes good contributions to the forum, for one thing.  He hasn't scammed anyone for another, and if his trust list doesn't show anything suspicious (haven't looked, but it sounds like there's nothing of concern), he should be just fine being a member of DT. 

And anyway, on the off chance he starts to abuse his position--which I seriously doubt he would--the self-policing of DT will quickly take care of the problem. 

Well, the two trust comments that he has made so far seem to be accurate. Plus, the people he places in his trust list appear to not be of concern. I think Ddmrddmr has a good head on his shoulders and will do a great job on DT1.

No offence to Ddmrddmr, no offence who entrusted Ddmrddmr.
Trust system is solely depended on forum members. As per my concern, member should entrust an user based on their practice of sending feedback, shouldn't entrust an user whom he trust. Both these terms are different.

Ddmrddmr has barely sent feedback, he isn't that much active. DTs are formed to protect the newbies.
As per this term, does Ddmrddmr qualify for entrusting?
