Indeed. I think he meant that xandry as a somewhat more reputable member and staff member should have pointed this out to the rest of us.
Post in Meta or talk to other mods those are expected actions of a person of responsibility. I do think the ~Defaulttrust user should of been banned and post removed though - that is shoddy as hell leaving that there - what if It actually worked?
Indeed. I've confirmed with theymos that it can't work and that you need to escape the exclusion character to trust a prefixed (~) username. The account should have been nuked and the registration of such accounts disabled.

Distrust all users only because they posts in thread that you can't even read properly? Well done.
We had a good approximation of what was actually written in there. I don't need to be able to read the original if the approximation is good.
Right, and you've contacted people about this how many times? Tagging zero merit newbies that are only shitposters is
pointless because:
1) DT members try to avoid tagging someone solely because they are a shitposter (theymoses 'rule').
2) It's a waste of time.
People who make these reports should
separately report groups where there is no merit and where merit is being abused.
