Okay, that makes sense. And how do I see who is on the DT1 and DT2 lists?
Go here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust, remove everything besides DefaultTrust. The list that you see below is the list of DT members.
My trust bar is green, so I am assuming I am on one of those, but how can I check?
You are not. You just have ratings left by other DT members.
Heh heh. I didn't understand that myself until Lutpin gave me a polite spanking in another thread. It took a long time before I learned the difference between being on someone's trust list and getting a positive feedback from someone. Not the same thing.
I still don't fully understand the trust system here, but that's a reflection of my own laziness and/or cognitive impairment. It's all good.
And yes, it is a system that's rife with abuse. I think it's very broken, but I know lots of folks here would disagree with me, so I'll leave it at that. It's not my forum and I'm just grateful to be here. As shitty as bitcointalk has become, I'm glad it exists.
Hey! Every number in my activity and post count is divisible by 3!!!
