Diluting the DT list (=adding more DT users) would reduce that PITA.
Please explain to my pea brain how this would be so. Also, how would this affect the ability of DT members to warn others? Also also, I thought you wanted to get rid of the DT system altogether.

Yes, I know you've said this ad nauseam across multiple threads. Sorry I brought it up.
I think the "
Force custom lists" idea by theymos is the best step forward. I think that a less dramatic change would be to dilute DT, add a lot more DT1 members, and see what happens.
I did see that thread, and I'm not sure how forcing newbies to create a trust list would work, and they're the ones most likely to fall for scams around here, IMO. As to adding more DT1 members--did I miss how those would be chosen? Theymos would have to pick them, since he doesn't like the voting strategy, so it just seems like the DT system would end up being more of a clusterfuck than it already is, unless the DT1 members had to keep very strict trust lists. Diluting the DT2 pool seems like it would end up with more people with more power, more headaches, more internecine squabbles, more bitching about wrongly-left feedback, and more chaos.
Or have I got my math wrong again?
