You did not - they were trying to manipulate to get you on the list - as a staff member you should be shutting down conversations like that, if not you are part of the conspiracy
They're doing the same things as you, guys. Simple example:
xxx: Hey, folks! Let's add users 1 and 2 to distrust list because they wan't to be in DT!
yyy: Yeah! Let's do it!
(crowd): Kill'em all!
And, please translate the reason why they wanna at least one or two Russians in DT.
Why I should to interfere? Everyone forms the list of trust as wants.
Sorry for my English, i still learn it.
