So I picked interested in the whole trust feature of the forum after the recent hype and S_Therapist was advertising it all over meta with his guides, infograph and importance of custom trust list. I now have a custom trust list and have started red tagging. Still playing it safe though but will up my game after some of my questions are answers. I was about red tagging a ban evasion offender then notice he red tagged someone else (with no evidence) for red tagging him. So below are my questions;

if I get a false red tag (no valid evidence) how is it handled, will it be removed or countered with a positive trust after appeal
Is there an exeption to breaking of the rules accounts shouldn't be red tagged for?
Are there some offends only DT memebers can red tag account in which the average users can't.

The best way to handle it is to appeal the red trust with the person who wrote it. However, the only way the person's red tag shows up on the trust numbers for an individual depends on their trust settings. Otherwise, it just shows up under the section "untrusted feedback." Most people have not fiddled with their trust settings, so it is set on default trust with a depth of 2. If you have customized your trust setting and want to see what your score looks like under the default settings, just go to a page with a post of yours in a section that displays the trust scores. Then after the url just add ;dt. If the tag doesn't show up on default trust, I wouldn't be too concerned about it, although these false tags may be more of a concern if there is a big move for people to start to customize their trust lists. For example, on my untrusted feedback I have someone accusing me of spreading a fictitious disease to newbies. Cheesy
