I initially thought the quote from theymos was faked, but upon investigation it is not. Lol.

The problem with the new trust system is that you do not need to be viewed as trustworthy by anyone that matters in order to get on DT1. This means several people with a little bit of power, such as those TMAN is close with/to, can effectively control who is on DT1, both adding people and excluding people.

I am not a fan of the new DT system however, TMAN and his clique should all be blacklisted from being on DT1, as most of them engage in behavior consistent with organized crime, and best case they are very shady. They often leave many contentious ratings and have done so without consequences.

Got any proof to back up allegations like that?

Tman and lauda posted a negative review at the same time which leads us to believe they are the same person or are connected and having read laudas previous extortion attempt explains what cunning games they play.

Can you explain all of the other negative reviews and how they should be dismissed? There appears to be quite a few. I doubt they are all sockpuppets of Lauda.  I see even Ognasty has chimed in with a recent negative trust rating for different reasons. (Although it appears in untrusted  feedback at the moment.)

Are you referring to my rave review from Cluster2k?
Warning, some reference links to other reviews are NSFW.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but to summarize: You believe TMAN is abusing DT for excluding people he believes are abusing DT?

He being a member of the list DT1 publicly encouraged other list members to remove all honored users of Russian local boards are not having any good reason. The result of his actions is presented in my 1 post.

If you think this behavior is normal for a DT1 member, I don't think so.

The charge of abusing the trust system is a very serious one. There is such a thing as a proof.

Are you ready to cite abuse proofs for each user included in this list? If you are not ready - it's pointless conversation.

I don't need to do anything. People are free to exclude you for even the remote suspicion of any collusion/abuse. From what I've seen so far in that section, you are doing both.

Can you list them?

If you carefully read the topic for which I redtrusted TMAN - you would see how acute the problem is the lack of users able to leave colored reviews in the trust. I'm not talking about a personal trust that takes years to make. I'm talking about the ability to leave color reviews to dozens and hundreds of farm accounts that have bred in our locale.

How does this relate to the number of messages in the locale? Directly connected! Number of posts in Russian locale: 4 095 224 Posts. This is about 10% of all forum posts. You realistically consider that 3-4 users enough to process such number of posts? If the DT2 sheet is now about 300 people, the representation of Russia there should be at least 20-30 people. Less easy to handle. I'm not particularly interested in representation in DT1 but our representation in DT2 requires a serious increase.
