This is the whole problem, that ratings of certain members count and of others do not. This whole system is based on cronyism and it allows inner circle to to do what ever they want.
In order for trust system to be fair every user should have equal vote.
You should know that those members whose feedback counts were member like you in the beginning which were not included in the DT2 at that time. They climbed the ladders to be in DT by doing great works for the forum and their contribution was noted by the ones who created DT at first place and decided to include them in DT2 in order to have a forum without scams (although scams are all over the place here unfortunately).
PS. Please take some time to read stickies in Meta regarding DT and DT2 status and everything will be crystal clear to you.
