- If you have 0+ DT1 inclusion/exclusion balance you stay in DT1 and vote for DT2 members, as usual.
- If you have -1 to -4 you can no longer vote for DT2 members, but can vote for DT1 peers, as is the case now.
- If you have -5 or less for up to five months - same as above.
- If you have -5 for six consecutive months you can no longer vote for DT1 peers until you get to -4 or higher.
As the peloso example shows, one shithead can wreak havoc by immediately downvoting new users and/or soliciting mutual inclusions. Clear abuse of the system but there is nothing anyone can do about it.
The only problem with this is any DT1 member is statistically unlikely to be in DT1 for more than 5 months. There are ~140 qualifying members each month. 100 / 140 = 71.43% chance of a qualifying member getting on DT for the month... Let's just round it up to 72%. So anybody who is qualified for 5 months is actually only 19.3% likely to stay on for all 5 months in a row. After 6 months that drops to 14%. So basically chances of anyone remaining in DT1 for that long of a time are pretty low. If you're saying the monthly count remains even after they are selected out of DT1, well that's one thing, might be pretty hard to keep track of internally.
Ideally, we should be putting pressure on those who include Peloso, but some of those who include him genuinely think he deserves to be there, so...
