How are you so sure to call Lauda "he"
No need to bring that discussion here. Actually, no need to have that discussion at all. Let's just use the gender-neutral "they".
I thought Lauda had ??? trust before getting left the last negative one. I am almost positive they did
They only have one "trusted" negative rating on default settings. You don't go to ??? without a negative, so they were not there before the rating by shorena.
Theres no reason 1 neg should wipe someone out, no matter how new it is. If someone has done a big scam then every DT user would tag them and wipe them out anyways.
There might be reasons. For example if a long standing, highly trusted account gets hacked, it's useful to get the warning (orange color) after a single feedback, as that can be quickly left.
