Notified him; already removed.

Here we are once again, with you unilaterally determining actual trade to be irrelevant in a system of trust designed to protect new traders. No one ranks up in your system without your permission right? New users will rank up starting with small trades. That is just how it works. You don't have psychic powers to tell you who is who, you are just mass hitting people pretending you don't punish any innocents. Do any of you people have actual lives of your own or is your only method of defining self worth involve obsessive compulsively putting users through daily inquisitions?

I re-quote my own message (minus a few typos because I typed it from mobile) :

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 list 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 thread 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.

It's honestly scary how some members are already exercising some sort of peer pressure on each other. I'm not going to call out any specific names, but people need to start realising how much power they have and how much power they don't. For anyone that belongs to either DT1 or DT2, stop giving individual opinions too much attention.

When you include or exclude someone, stand by it. If the MAJORITY of the network calls you out on it, then maybe you should reconsider. Actually, even if you don't, everyone else is going to exclude him, proving my next point ->

Regardless of the opinion of the minority, that is what they are, a minority. ALL DT1 nodes are equal in this system, so are all DT2 nodes. When someone calls out some shit on your list, you need to know that they have the exact same influence you have. We're trying to decentralize trust for this exact reason.

Each opinion counts.

If this line somehow changes from "Each", to "5 people and their proxies" (because if you modify your list according to these 5 people, then you're a proxy to their own judgement), then the whole system falls back to what it was before.

A few people really need to re-assess how much influence they think they have, and a lot of other people need to start losing the inferiority complex if they're an active node of the trust list.
