Do DT members get some sort of guidelines sent to them by theymos when they are added to DT1?

No.

Maybe theymos didn't send any guideline to you but he did send at least a very short one to Blazed and, hopefully, other DT1 members. His instance is very clear:

Add people based on how they help the network not based on trade feedback

I could decide to appoint everyone on that list if they are over 600 with 95% accurate. It shows no conflicts since I dont pick anyone I trade with. But I am not sure that is a good way to pick people

If you mean that as the only parameter to add someone to DT2 then that would be the worst idea! But that could be a good start as long as you check feedback left by every of those users to see if that trust helps the community and is left with proper arguments, references and without abuse. Or you can check the Marketplace and find users who leave trust there. Those seem better ways to start than those you've dealt with or have exchanged trust with. Of course those are just ways to start, proper checking of their left trust is required

Annon001 - You should re-run the numbers and see how much of a difference the changes have made the numbers.

Good suggestion. I've updated OP

As I think you would be safe dealing with those people and I know they help the forum

Being on DT2 shouldn't mean that user can be trusted with money. It should mean their feedback can be trusted. It should mean the trust they leave helps others see who can be trusted with money.
Those added to DT2 should help the forum by leaving accurate and helpful trust, not just by making good deals
Of course you won't add a scammer to DT2 under any circumstances as he will abuse his power but just being trusted to hold money is not reason enough. Just leave positive trust in that case

Now I simply say this for all default trust people the op accused more then one of us for manipulating our numbers.
I am USA based and live in New Jersey this thread subjects me to possible litigation and anyone else op mentioned.
-snip-
I will reconsider my involvement with DT1 in a week or 2. The op's accusations clearly have created a basis for me to think very long and hard about this as I live in a very litigious part of the USA : New Jersey.

Don't take this as an attack. You seem to forget I said this after you actively began to re-check your list:

I no longer believe he is abusing the trust system

I have updated the title of OP so hopefully you and other DT1 members don't take it as a personal attack

The OP took a random metric

Sure, random Roll Eyes

Coincidentally that metric tells the exact change each one made to their own trust by setting their own list. The difference shown there is the exact effect each DT1 had on their own trust by being DT1 and adding others to DT2. But I was just lucky because the metric was chosen at random

Add more people you trust to your list

Absolutely, as I've said before. As long as the reason to add those users to DT2 is because the trust they left helps the community, not just because you've dealt with them or even because they can be trusted with money (in that case leave positive trust to them, don't add them to DT2)
