I guess only buying and selling trinkets on the collectibles board would make me qualified to be on DT. Let us not forget the 5 years that I've seen people get screwed over every which way but Sunday (including myself) in this space nor the 51 years that I have been on this planet should count either.

@ quickseller. I assume you forgot the word not in your above comment. I guess my 22 years of experience in both hard and soft collections still renders me clueless when spotting a scammer/deadbeat. I guess only buying and selling trinkets on the collectibles board would make me qualified to be on DT. Let us not forget the 5 years that I've seen people get screwed over every which way but Sunday (including myself) in this space nor the 51 years that I have been on this planet should count either.

I'm curious how these paid reviews work. If I think the service is God awful and leave a terrible review, do I still get the payment? How about if it results in malware infecting my computer? If I give negative trust to boot, would I still get payment?
LOL, come on, you've answered your own questions right there.
I just realized it's 0.02 ETH not BTC... WTF that's like two bucks. I'd hope even the current diluted DT is not that desperate.
It is unethical, and is one more reason why those without trading experience should be on DT.
What does that have to do with the topic? Doesn't make sense even if I replace "should" with "shouldn't".

It may be what that casino is doing is trying to prevent a bunch of people whose sole purpose is to claim giveaways to claim the rewards. The concern is that these people may be willing to look the other way if the casino starts to act shady, such as what happened here, and here.

Obvious. but what of community reactions to the DT that sell it?
We can no longer count on DT members to be honest...

Did any DT member actually do it? The DT members who commented in that thread (LoyceV, Coolcryptovator, Jet Cash, ...) seem to share your opinion.
I wouldn't do it. I don't think it's appropriate for a DT member.
I don't know if there is a difference or not, but I feel like they are trying to buy "reputation" as opposed to trust. This is just because they way it is worded, in that it doesn't ask for feedback or that is has to be a positive post about the experience.
They're not asking for it, but I don't think it's a coincidence that of all possible ways to word it ("trusted users", "trusted gamblers", "expert degenerates", etc) they chose to solicit default trust members.

Personally I wouldn't tag/remove a DT member for partaking and leaving an honest post of their experience in a thread. I would not trust their judgement if they were to leave positive feedback in the trust system for this interaction though. As soon as they take the payment for providing their opinion as a member of DT that should be off the table. I would aslo hope that these members kept an eye on the program to make sure it wasn't a fancy show at the beginning and an exit scam to follow.
I guess it depends on why they are in DT. If they are one of the people grinding and striving for a position in DT then yeah seems like they want to leverage the position. If they were a member who just so happens to have found themselves on DT by using the system, should they be denied the opportunity. I think everything needs to be looked at case by case and judged accordingly.

Getting financially rewarded for being in DT seems shady to me... what do others think?

This is without doubt the case.
There will always be concerns here where you have systems of control that are open to abuse where that abuse can result in financial reward. I guess just for now dt and every member needs to be a diligent as possible. The more DT the more likely you may consider it to catch them or notice it and it does make it harder to collude successfully, but then you have more persons to watch and higher odds that some may fall into temptation. As I have said i believe an anonymous forum is a difficult one for decentralised control sytems even with very stringent criteria and a mandate (although that would vastly improve the reliability and credibility of the ratings)
Perhaps better to just flash red under all accounts so people are terrified to trade without DDE or something similar. Something like beware this person could well be a scammer.
Have their been any big scams conducted from accounts with LOTS of DT green in the past? if not then perhaps not as worrying as it may seem although certainly something to think about.
