I'll take Og's word for it
-snip-
not sure why you're claiming there was no explanation

You really should stop taking someone's word for it without a proper explanation. He hasn't explained why he added nonnakip in the first place, or anyone else for that matter
They clearly do not help the community. Maybe they don't hurt it either but the fact none (or almost none) of them helps the community rises the question why they were included then

He removed nonnakip because it was too obvious his addition was wrong but it was always wrong, even the day he added him, so why did he add him?
This wouldn't matter if there were only a few cases but that appears to be the norm. So explanations are still required, or at least openness to feedback and improvement

Have you contacted Tomato?

I can't PM him, he doesn't receive PMs from newbies. Would you?

They are trying to stir up trouble and don't care about facts, that's why

Please don't lie, don't insult me, and don't insult my and others intelligence

So far all this thread managed to accomplish is to have a few people removed from the DT network. That makes this thread an epic fail as we should be decentralizing the trust network, not making it more exclusive.

Do you really still don't understand the issue? DT1 users should add more users to DT2 but they should do that to help the community. They must choose users whose ratings are valid and help others. It must not be based mainly on private trades with them (making a successful deal doesn't necessarily mean they're good at leaving feedback) and even less so by the fact they left positive trust to you

I really doubt Og was adding people to boost his score since it makes no difference overall to him

The difference is not huge but there is a difference. That difference is just enough to make him be the user with the highest trust for example. But of course there's a possibility that was not his intention

I agree Nonnakip's being added did not help the network in anyway, but it also did not hurt anything

Maybe it didn't hurt anything. But it does raise questions when almost all of the users added by him do little good to the community, not just him or a few

The way DT was explained to me years ago by Theymos was pretty simple... Add people based on how they help the network not based on trade feedback

This exactly. DT1 members should add users to DT2 if their feedback helps the community, not just because they were trading partners or received positive trust from them
If this rule is applied then it's not possible 10 out of 12 users added by OgNasty left positive trust to him and none of them significantly helped the community
I only see 2 options. Worst case scenario: OgNasty added them to boost their own trust. Best case scenario: OgNasty really doesn't know the role of DT1 members and doesn't apply this rule

I have gone over my list and feel it is pretty solid, but if anyone has a legit concern then by all means let me know who I should review.

I appreciate you checked your list and are open to suggestions. I'll check it too and post only if I find something

I encourage everyone to check Blazed's and also philipma1957's lists and post comments.
While the decision of how DT1 members handle their trust lists belongs only to them and the decision of which DT1 members are excluded or included belongs only to theymos, because those decisions affect everyone in the forum we all must check it and provide feedback
