There are 167 users in DT, and Blazed has 20 users on his trust list. Blazed has just under 12% of DT on his trust list, while many people have 63%-100% of their trust ratings from this group of 12% of DT.
I don't think that's a very reasonable link to show abuse. Many DT members rarely leave feedback, or almost never. If you were to look at all the positive trust feedback given, I'm guessing that a large proportion would come from a small group of them. Doesn't mean there's anything bad with that, it's simply because some are more active than others. I took a look at the DT2 list, and there's a lot of names I haven't heard of. Blazed is a fairly new addition to DT1, and therefore his trust list would be comprised of more newer active members, while the other DT1s might have added them a few years ago and just left them.
- the one about actinmyname
"actmyname doesn't run any signature campaigns, but does Red Tag many users who "abuse bounty campaigns" and who trade forum accounts. He has only completed a handful of trades, and his trust score is 18: -0 / +2, with all of his ratings being attributed to other users on Blazed's trust list."
Is it a must to run a signature campaign? Is it important the number of trades completed? Because I see a problem with. There isn't a lot of members who worth to make a deal with.
He Red Tags people involved in certain businesses, but has failed to give a Red Tag to
anyone in Blazed's trust
list circle. The exclusion from theymos should also speak for itself.
IIRC actmyname went back and removed a bunch of his ratings after this, so that his ratings were more accurate.
- the one about Mexxer
Back in 2014 Selling accounts was not something giving troubles as it is in 2018. It was "acceptable" maybe because people were not raping the system to death
You should tell that to those I mentioned in the OP. Many of them have gone back multiple years in Red Tagging users.
Going back is somewhat unfair in my opinion, though from what I've seen, they've only tagged those who haven't contributed to the forum and those who didn't do anything better than spamming and/or account farming. I know many DT members (ie Vod) will remove their ratings depending on the severity if the user has contributed afterwards. I've
sold accounts in the past, however I've stopped, and I think I've proved that I'm reasonable trustworthy.
