Re: Theymos can you explain your reasoning on merit allocated on a political basis.
sadly for you guys I have damaged my hand in a slight accident so I will be typing lot less until it is better since to type with one hand is way way slower and a post of 1000 words taking perhaps 10 mins -15mins is now going to be perhaps 1 hour or even greater..
So xtraelv you are missing my point i feel. It is perfectly legit to merit according to political views even if you openly state this so long as the post is providing value and is merit worthy. The motive should not be relevant or considered for the purposes of merit because the post itself should stand on its own to be analysed objectively.
I mean to say you do not merit in a politically driven manner is quite unlikely let's check out your bpip (this is only the top10 if feel the top20 would give an even more clear picture.

Most of those merits were given well before the current voting system was introduced.
The topics they were given for are non political. I'm hardly going to put people on my list that I have never encountered before. The trustlist expanded a lot since the default trust changes. Most of those people were not on my list when the merit was given.
A list of people that are good posters (an the most merited list), that post a lot in meta and that I happen to trust is not proof of what you are saying.
You said it was for political noise.
You will notice a lot of merit given for empty or faux rebuttals to political statements based on fact here on this board a lot of the time, just as much as merit given for unsubstantiated agreement in the form of groundless opinions and ideas. There is no value here. This is merely political noise.
I would like to see the political noise posts..
I think according to the statistics distributed 474 merit on 448 different bitcointalk posts to 150 different members.
Many on my trust list have never received any merit from me.
now I wonder about your own dt inclusions exclusions
That is a very outdated list that you posted but it also had an error that I just corrected.
It is not just for DT voting. Some of the people on my list may never be eligible for DT. It is who I trust.
"I just believe that with the sheer number of negative threads you make in various places, the unwarranted personal attacks that you have made on me and others and the feedback that you have left previously for others and the people you trust and distrust does not align with my values. "
1. point me to the negative posts
2. the unwarranted personal attacks.

It is super easy to use quotes and/or list a source.
