Theymos asked for specific suggestions to DT1. My non-specific suggestion would be to add loads of new DT1 members so the status of DT would get diluted heavily. And you know my opinion of the whole DT thing..

DT sucks except if you could use it for your own goals, e.g. to exclude Vod. Gotcha.

I haven't been here as long as the old-timers, but I haven't seen anyone request that status yet.  It's particularly odd coming from a member who was just barking about how the DT system should be abolished because he has a beef with Vod.  And a member who believes bidding on his own auctions is acceptable--yeah, just the kind of person this forum needs on DT1.

Vendor bids are a common practice around the world. Ebays and such have made people think that all auctions are "get stuff for cheap" forced sale auctions, while in reality such "no reserve" auctions are always stated to be as such -- except here in bitcointalk. I did a vendor bid once, got taught the bitcointalk way of auctioning and have done all my auctions without any complaints since that.
And yes, DT should be abolished. Not because Vod misuses it, but because it gives Vod's opinion/misuse/whatever way too much power. Apply this to every DT user.

I don’t believe any DT1 member has ever asked to be a DT1. This would be a new approach.

Regardless of what happened with the PM and posting exchange between Anduck and Vod, Vod's feedback is correct.  You either set a reserve on your auction or you let the real bidders decide what the item should go for.  You don't bid on the auction yourself.  It's the same reason shill bidding is wrong, too.  Anduck doesn't seem to grasp what he did wrong, and he certainly shouldn't have any influence as to who gets added to DT2.  Bad idea, dude.

It's great to see that you're still using the same kind of sketchy logic that earned you your current trust rating. Great job Vod & Salty.

If you have specific suggestions for alterations to the current DT1 list, then make a topic about it. I think that the system is structurally flawed as it is now, though.

Here's my specific suggestion: Add me to DT1.

Why?

If DT exists, I would want it to be a list of people who are unlikely to scam others, and nothing more. My DT2 additions would not be ultimately trusted people, but just people that I feel are trustworthy enough to be unlikely scammers. I've been in this scene for years and have seen many kinds of scammers and people in general, also having moderated bitcoin IRC channels for years and recently bitcoin subreddit too.

So in other words, I would want to decrease the "legitimacy" of the DT list as an "elite, highly trusted people" list. This would encourage people to make their own lists. I would be adding loads people I've got to know over the years, and I am sure that many do not find them trustworthy to e.g. do trades, even though I do. It should merely be a list of people unlikely to scam others, and that's how I would treat it.

Additionally, add bunch of current DT2 members to DT1 so the DT1 gets "diluted" as it should.
