Actually, no.  (This is the point of my hereby post.)

Actually I feel like I should have clarified, I meant he would required negatives from DTs which is substantially more difficult than regular negatives and from what little I have seen there's very obvious "factions" (without delving too deep into that since I guess it's pretty who's usually supporting who) and any DT negatively rating another generally causes a crap ton of unnecessary drama and hence it's pretty unlikely any DT would act to support some inconsequential nobody.

unless you’re stupid enough to add people like Danos to your trust list.

Or better still, dump DefaultTrust and set up your own trust list from scratch.  I currently have the following at my Depth 0, and the world of the Bitcoin Forum looks quite different to me than it will to you:

I'm currently yet to edit my trust list since I'm still figuring out who's reliable and worthy of being trusted. I particularly don't bother reading the numbers at times and feel the actual details are more relevant. Quite a few times the unstrusted feedback can prove to be useful (there's quite a few "trusted" but not DT members who leave ratings) and reading the references attached which usually gives you a clearer picture than arbitrary ratings which may or may not be accurate. Obviously I ignore all the retaliatory and downright idiotic feedback like the ones left on everyone's profile "Wants Gay child porn".

I suggest you start with theymos’ announcement thereof (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0), although n.b. that some things have changed in the five years since his OP in that thread.

I've skimmed it a couple of times but I kinda slackened and get lazy reading long articles  Tongue

By the way (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3095008.0) (I know you replied there; though that thread may be difficult for you to understand if you don’t dig around and figure out the history of the characters involved).

I have kinda dug up some of the dirt that was being flung and read up a bit. I have a rough idea of what the general accusations every one is usually associated with (QS and Self Escrows/Alting, OG and his business, a bunch of people and some extortion, TF's inputs.io etc) but not the exact details so I haven't made any specific comments.
