If you're in DT1 (which you are), if you exclude a DT1 or a DT2 member your exclusion counts against them, i.e. if that person has more exclusions by DT1 members than inclusions by DT1 members - they're out of DT and their posted ratings won't count in the default trust scores. This works exactly as it used to, except now it applies to DT1 as well. Previously it didn't.
So if a scammer made it onto default trust (it is inevitable in a decentralized system rife with scammers), would
excluding everyone that included that scammer remove the scammer from default trust?
