DT has become less relevant now that the merit system has been introduced.
You referring to the red paint associated to shit posters/spammers/bad English posts?
Exactly. Such tags are no longer needed.
However, DT is
still needed in areas of outright fraud - such as loan scammers.
I absolutely agree. Scammers/fraudsters/Bad deals Etc. Should be tagged that's what the system was meant for.
