In the past week, 4 DT1-members have wiped their Trust list. This is probably caused by
the drama that followed after theymos introduced
Trust flags:
Three of the four DT1 users who wiped their list are closely associated with Lauda, and likely did this to support lauda.
minifrij has previously told me that he doesn't want to be in DT at all:
reference.
[...]I have no real interest in being a part of the DefaultTrust system, but I'm not going to put the energy in to remove myself from it.
How the hell I would support Lauda if I wiped my trust list?
I just deleted my custom trust list in other words I just resigned from my DT position.
This is my way to protest against that political madness happening right now in the forum.
The breaking point was the confrontation between theymos and Lauda which escalated to such level, I guess it's already around meta and the reputation board, which made me rethink my position in the DTs.
I don't want to choose a side in this case, both parties made mistakes but that was not the way to find solution. Fighting, using the DTs as a weapon and do everything hidden in PMs.
For me everything should be public, especially such confrontations, so I do not agree with both parties.
So people please, for the sake of the community, settle down your problems once and for all.
It's almost 2AM here, and I'm awake only because of this political drama.
P.S. I'll still serve the community one way or another.

I believe none of them intended this to be non public, since they contacted a huge list of people.
The point being they just wanted to ensure that every recipient had knowledge of that message.
As you can see it quickly became publics and a lot of meta drama is already going on related to this.
This is true but I don't really have time for all the drama, this has to end somehow. I don't really need to read all these explanations why people tagged (now flagged) their long time
fighting compadres, trowing shit at each other. I don't really want to choose a side because there you see, someone said one thing. If I have to take a side, I have to decide alone and find and read all those
proven facts that someone
is this or that. But I don't have time to concentrate on such things, no. Those fights are for years and most likely things are no real evidence of any
crimes-accusations.
If I wanted this I would probably have joined a party til now.
I prefer to put my time in something more constructive.
I still think theymos should have created a thread and sent a link to everyone instead of doing everything in PMs. Then Lauda came with his/her message with got me thinking that this is way too much for me and I don't want to be part of it.

You can only resign from DT1, not from DT2.
I hope you'll reconsider in time: DT1
needs users who don't like the "political madness", and I think you're one of them. May I suggest fighting the madness by ignoring it, and continue doing the right thing?
Thank you for your kind words Loyce.
I won't give up on the forum and the community. I continue the same way, no matter if I'm on DT1/DT2 or not. I didn't ask for this
power it was given to me by the community, so I hope when things settle down I might join the DT1 again, if I'm still wanted.
