That's an extremely personal question probably best asked on a different forum altogether; and some of these people might be ladies.

You're free to do so, but I don't expect theymos to get involved. It's up to DT1 to fix DT1, and as long as there's no clear abuse, I don't think he'll get blacklisted. Besides, blacklisted users can still be on DT2.

The Default trust breakdown shows many users who have almost as many inclusions as exclusions. Those users move in and out of DT1 depending on the monthly composition.

And now there's 8!
The following users have been on DT1 since I started keeping track, without ever getting excluded:
I'm out Who's going to be the longest standing DT1 member?

Okay, guys!  I deleted my review! And I also removed be.open from my trust-list!

Its also bad form for DT1s to be including this user, and subsequently other DT1s for including people that include them.

By that I am talking about DT1s who have included 3meek or fzkto (which is incidentally only 3meek).

He is too lenient. Currently many scammers from the Russian and Turkish section (less of the former) are inside both levels. It is so.

Theymos updated DT1. I'm out!

I think it would make sense to have the current 10/250 merit requirement adjusted so that only merits earned in the last 12 (or 24) months are counted. Right now anyone who earns, farms, or buys 10+ merits gets to vote forever and eventually dormant voters will be the majority.

The way people and their actions are tracked by other members on this site whether it be merit given, feedback left, trust inclusions, trust exclusions, and everything else people can scrape this would be just another drama point to fill Meta with "blow my brains out" threads every month.

I am thinking that Vod is proposing a minimum number of merits earned in a recent period, such as 5 merit or 10 merits in the past 90 days or some kind of de minimus threshold in order to meet DT1 criteria.  

I personally don't believe it is a necessary extra criteria to add in part because the current criteria only requires one post in the past 30 days, even though it requires to be online in the past 3 days.  

At the same time, I understand the logic of one more criteria that Vod is seeming to suggest could be a way to weed out certain members from being eligible for DT1 status, and could be something for theymos to consider as a potentially valid consideration.  Such additional criteria would be similar to already existing criteria that theymos already created but just create another de minimus kind of angel in the giving value to merit direction, and would not necessarily be an overly burdensome extra criteria if it were considered over a longer than 30 day period..  requiring even one merit per 30 day period might be burdensome or "awkward" or turn DT1 wannabe members into "subconscious" merit beggars, perhaps?  hahahahaha

I am the Top-merited user, recent merit, I am of course the tool of a secret conspiracy plot to create havoc in the DT1.
As long as I am selected in DT1, not obvious fact, lately.


"If it works, ain't fix it".

Agree.

Yeah but you don’t hand out hundreds of Merit to the same poster(s) over a very short period of time so it’s hard to see how you alone would vote somebody into DT1.

As long as the required Merit total is high then I don’t think it’s a bad idea but then again just because somebody is a good quality poster it doesn’t mean they won’t scam. Most scams are carried out or attempted by low ranking accounts but a bigger scam is more likely to be carried out by a high ranked account due to them supposedly being more trustworthy.

Ahhh, who fucking knows. Maybe just leave it as it is, there’s always the possibility of DT1 members turning to the dark side, we’ve seen it in the past so it doesn’t matter what tweaks are implemented, it’s always possible.

We just have to hope that supposedly good & trustworthy posters police themselves.

That's not ideal either. I just don't think giving Merit more power is going to improve DT1. I'm currently the Most generous recent merit sender, and I can already imagine the drama it's going to create when I single-handedly merit someone into DT1.

So you would rather it depend on a lottery system, where everyone has an equal and growing chance?


Adding a filter never increases the number of results...

Even if someone becomes less active, that doesn't mean their older Trust ratings (and their Trust list) are instantly outdated. I like to think the feedback I've left doesn't really depend on how the community "vibes" at any moment.

its bad and stupid idea
this will give gangs advantages and gang representatives will get into d1

(Forgive me, didn't catch up on entire thread)

 - You must have been online sometime within the last 3 days.
 - You must have posted sometime within the last 30 days.

What about an addition criterion?
 - You must have learned xx merit in the last yy days?

Such an addition would remove me, since I have not been making useful posts recently.  But it would make the list more closely match the current community vibe.


Any thoughts you'd like to share? 

Do we distrust hashman for their account being hacked?  (I've done so recently for kenzawk and sardasa until such time as they are able to secure their accounts) Or, do we distrust for being an account seller? (I have some added, and some not added IIRC) If it's the latter, how far back do we go since their last transactions?

The account is included by TECSHARE:

For the record: TECSHARE included him more than a year ago, while the negative feedback appeared less than half a year ago. TECSHARE should check this

I noticed this case too when I posted the lists. I can create a weekly list of all DT-members with one or more negative feedbacks, but that will also include many users who have a lot of positive feedback.

Oh goodie - I'm in with a chance then... 

even im 
i hope it look no strange..
