The issue is that the whole damn thing is based on opinions.
The Pharmacist has a boner for people he feels don't speak English to his standard. This does not make them untrustworthy, and so is misuse of the system.
Lauda has no time for people she feels don't see as deeply as her. I'm not entirely sure on what map the direction she's looking can be found, but that's my issue. This also does not make them untrustworthy, and so is misuse of the system.
Actmyname....well, this one is tricky. He's engaged in discussion on this topic, which shows an open mind. But then there are those....rampages...which are also opinion based.
You know, I get that all these people are trying to protect the foremost forum for a subject they care deeply about. And they're working with broken tools. Theymos probably never realised this forum would grow like it has, but there you go - yay, crypto
The practices that are happening at the moment are exclusionary. This is not good. The forum was founded for people to discuss crypto, and this includes the clueless, the stupid, the slow, the rude, the arrogant and the just plain weird.
Warn the abusers. Ban the persistent. Trust tag the scammers.
If they're not scamming, leave the trust button alone. It's not what it's for.

OgNasty just posted this. He is top of the foodchain in regards to DT. It's all good now.
I have also reached out to Theymos to see what his stance on red trust for shit posting is and will let you guys know.
If his reply is the below, what would be your response?
- Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts.
I think DT users such as yourself Ognasty and Blazed will have to pressure him to get a clear answer on this. You 2 users are at the top of the DT food chain and i think only users with your status are capable of getting him to crack under pressure. It would be nice to hear his Final view on the matter.
theymos has already given his guidance. I believe the responsibility of DT users such as myself and Blazed would be to exclude users who engage in this behavior. I have done so. Blazed has done the opposite.
