I'm not directly affected by who and who's not on the DT list, but stalking comments here really makes me wonder if any solution is ever going to work at all if everyone keeps monitoring everyone.

Are you all seriously going through everyones include/exclude list judging the people they added, calling them out on it, and expecting them to change it?

Others brigading and openly claims against other peoples judgements to get them excluded by other users.

Like I said I personally am not concerned with any of the above, but what the fuck js up with all this drama and gossip?

Isn't this whole system designed to generate a trust list from a (not yet) large pool of people? If this keeps up then in no time we're going to have a corroborating group of people, and if that group is ever bigger than half of the full DT1, then we're back to square one.

My point is : mind your own business, Set your own DT list. You can promote it, explain why you included/excluded this and that, argue with people on your own time.

But stop witch hunting people just because you disagree with their list choices. Theres a much better solution : Use your own damn vote to exclude them. If YOU dont agree with what they did, it doesnt mean you have to incite other users to do so too. Thats the goal of trust lists. If you start judging every lost on a micro-scale, its 100% bound to be subjective to each members opinion. But if all members agree to include one member (of course without collaborating or working on some mafia trust ring), you can then trust that that member is objectively trusted by the network.

A better way to steer this threas would be to discuss ratings on a much more macro scale. Stop judging every users list, and try to come up with guidelines that will make everyones list more objective and will help create a better network. Of course I say guidelines, because thats what they are. Someone not following them might have his own reasons, but if his own reasons happen to go in the completely opposite direction of everyone then he will quickly see himself excluded from DT.. Thats how networks work.

Just my 2 cents. You can send yours to 1KingZeeW97uLvngcUA3R6QJx18Fn78ddb
