I want to address this from a thread in the collectibles section:
If allowable, id Like to cancel my bids. As someone I trusted and used to have a lot of respect for, I am sorry that the feeling isnt mutual. If not, I will still honor my bids through a mutually agreeable escrow.
Rmc, you are free to cancel your bids, no worries. Regarding trust network and inclusions/exclusions, it is nothing personal but as it stands right now (you know the history between me and og) I had to exclude you from mine. If you still want to bid, I'll happily use any mutually agreeable escrow to sort out final bids etc.
Another thing about the trust system is that I never saw you as someone being active in that department with either giving out ratings or taking part in those discussions. Sorry if you feel offended.
Bold emphasis mine.
You gave Rmcdermott927 ONE day before you excluded him based off of his "affiliation" with OgNasty. The bolded part in the quote is a cop out. You should have at least given him one cycle of DT1 and ~May 1 you could review if the jump to DT1 had given inspiration and a desire for Rmcdermott927 to more actively take the step towards handing out ratings and taking part in Meta/Scam Accusations/Reputation discussions. The reason DT1 cycles like this is to add some fresh new faces every once inawhile.. it does not break the system, it instead might inspire a user that doesn't normally do what you suggested, end up doing just that. Then there is a reason to maybe add him to your own trust list. But an exclusion after one day? Fuck out of here.
He used to be a lot more active until you guys/girls in the OgNasty vs Lauda/TMAN/etc labelled him as an enemy. Time to drop that utter bullshit of a feud.
Give the man a chance to prove he is DT1 worthy, because right now you have taken all the wind out of his sails and that most certainly won't improve his desire of participating with ratings/discussion.
I never considered anyone an enemy besides og, for good reason. If he is not in DT1 I don't see any reason to exclude him as it is when he gets on DT1 that he gets the extra voting power, should not be too strange.
Not to mention that not only I hold the power the exclude someone, others are more than free to include him as that is the beauty of the system with voting.
