IMO the trust system should go back to how things worked prior to when trust exclusions were introduced. I don't think it should be controversial to say that someone who is behaving in a way that would warrant an exclusion should be removed from DT if they will not correct their behavior (and previous inappropriate ratings). Similarly if someone on DT1 is refusing to remove someone acting inappropriately refuses to remove someone acting inappropriately (after a discussion and a period of time) from DT2, they have no business being on DT1 in the first place.

The practice of having ~zero regulation of the trust system has only lead to massive regulation by a select few who are accountable to no one, and will face no real repercussions for acting in bad faith and/or unfairly.  

The above practice is analogous to the government refusing to impose modest regulations on the actions of an oligopoly, which results in the oligopoly imposing many restrictions on what citizens can and cannot do, and acting unfairly in the process. It is nearly impossible to rid the oligopoly of its power, due in large part to high barriers to entry. While on the other hand, if the government were to impose modest regulations unfairly, voters could vote the government out of power.

The resulting drama from the above, does result in a lot of page views however....
