People on DT1 have a lot of control over their own trust rating.
Just add anyone that has left you positive trust to your network, making them DT2 and increasing your own trust. :/
The trust values on DT2 are a lot more realistic, since we can't boost our trust ratings this way.
This basically shows how flawed the trust system can be not to mention leaving trust ratings for people that bought stuff from you, they didn't have to risk anything and yet they still get a positive rating?

The account farmers I've been tagging are more current-age than in the past.

Good, we don't have to discuss this. Now explain why you have not Red Tagged
those those listed in my OP who have very clearly sold accounts in the past, including Blazed.
When I entered the forum, account selling was the norm. Plenty of users, DT included, were trading accounts freely. Although I can't say that the post quality was amazing back then, I can say that the quality now vs. then is much worse. With the explosion of ICO's and bounties, the forum began to quickly degrade in quality.
I can say that the situation back then was different than the current one. Just as it's not justified to try people (at a later date) after a law has been put in place, the same theory should apply here.
I don't have a specific time in which the forum shifted toward an anti-account sale community ideology, so I'll say any account sales in 2017 and later should be tagged.
If I have any negative feedback that tags someone who sold pre-2017, then let me know and I'll change it.
I'm not making any cases toward the "contribution" that any particular member has made to the forum. That is character evidence and should only be used in extreme cases.
Not really, account selling was never seen as something positive but it has always been allowed and is still is. There is no reason not to tag those OP mentioned as they clearly sold and bought accounts, however I know they are not going to get red tagged. That's how it works here, just like everywhere else, groups of people take control, in this case DT1 and trusted members and you can't do much about it.
