Are you seriously arguing that we cannot trust the number of people who trust your ratings? I guess saltys will of the community rationale pretty much goes down the drain.

I am not sure why you would be surprised to see people excluding you from their trust lists when you are as shady, dishonest, immature and unprofessional (among other things) as you are.

Its actually perfectly how I thought things would go. Lets bring back this little snippit with the important parts bolded

I'm adding Lauda because they represent the will of a large portion of the forum's users (myself not included). I disagree with a bit of what they do, but DT isn't really that necessary of a tool for well established members, its more for people who are just starting out and don't know how to create their own trust lists. By the time you've been here for a couple of years, you know to escrow when in doubt, and trust no one that doesn't have more to lose than they have to gain by scamming you. You can configure your own trust lists, so without any green or red numbers at all, you should be able to read the quantity and quality of an individual's feedback, and accurately make most judgement calls.

Lauda is on the absolute opposite side of the fence, and while I don't personally agree, I also can't say I am a good representation of newer members. Therefore, I think its important to have someone represent both sides. I think the vast majority of the people who don't like Lauda's judgement calls are people who can easily customize their own trust lists and forget about them, while those that rely on Lauda cannot do so as easily. With Lauda on DT, all basis are covered. Its just a matter of filtering out which you don't personally subscribe to.

The people who don't like Laudas ratings are typically older members who can take care of themselves. Those that support Laudas ratings tend to be more newer members who rely on Default Trust. Exclude Lauda all you like, if you don't need their feedback, great! If you want me to provide sources for this, I'll just refer you to any topic regarding Lauda in the Meta section over the last few years.

On an unrelated note, and the reason I'm back in this thread, the people Vs OGNasty debate needs its own thread if you'd like to continue it. I would have split the topic myself, but it'd be a conflict of interests, so I'm going to report the conversation and ask that it gets split from this thread.
