The categories theymos is referring to are "earnt merit" and "airdropped merit".
Earnt merit is merits you're sent, airdropped is what you were given at the start.
E.g I've earnt >150 merits and was airdropped 1000
Theymos is considering only earn merits if my understanding is correct.
How about now? Please
checkSeems correct.
Fantastic. Thank you
Now that I understand the selection process (
reference) I have few recommendations. I believe theymos is trying to make the DT1 list dynamic or at least this is the plan.
-# At least member rank earned merit 10 (airdrop does not count)
-# Must be online for last three days when theymos will execute the trust setting script. Maybe once in a month
-# User must not be banned/manually blacklisted.
-# At-least one post within the last 30 days. Again when theymos execute the trust setting script
Not much to dynamic the parameters however
I wonder what motivates theymos to pick 30 and 3 for posting and active online? I am just interested to know the inspiration behind picking those numbers.
-# Trust list must include at least 10 users, ~distrust entries will not count.
This one stays as it is since it is the members pick who is trying to get into the DT1 list.
Anyway, I guess theymos can play with the following parameters to make the DT1 list more dynamic and automated. But before that I guess he needs to have a goal of how many members he wants to have in DT1 list. i.e: 100 eligible users each time as you mentioned in the OP
-# 10 people trusting you with earned merit of at least 10 each (airdrop and merit sent by yourself does not count)
Users can manipulate it. It's just 10 users. Sort the members (ascending order) with total number of trust entries who have earned at least 10 merit each. It eliminates the manipulation. Top 100 get the place for DT1. Before it was easy to have only 10 people but someone who have total 100 people trusted could be excluded easily.
-# 2 people trusting you with earned merit of at least 250 each (airdrop and merit sent by yourself does not count)
Do the same sorting.
Finally execute the algorithm. I think tweaking these
three two perimeters will make the entire DT1 list more dynamic if that is the goal.
PS: Thanks to
suchmoon again to correct me in one point.
