I do not think we should be terming this legitimate illustration of the very short comings of the trust system DRAMA. These are observable instances of failure and abuse that put the entire board at increased risk, and destroy the cohesion of the entire community. If all the energy fighting for  fair treatment and simple justice, was directed to positive projects to further awareness and push forward adoption of decentralized projects, we may all get what we hope for much sooner.

Nothing is more stupid than having a TRUST system where observable scammers on DT get to red trust honest members to prevent them whistle blowing on them, whilst their "alts and friends" get to back them up, or excuse it.

 The fact the trust system is now based upon a merit system where a tiny fraction of the board cycle it to each other. Those that give each other the most merits are the most trustworthy, stands to reason right?. What more can be said. A huge proportion of DT members are observably totally untrustworthy and observably sneaky and greedy when it comes to financial matters. Nobody can even deny it? they just claim the truth does not interest them, don't want to get involved (only too eager to get involved in everyone else business) and when pushed to comment they say that: it is good when innocent people get red trust, because it makes people more aware.

The double standards is quite fun to point out, but highly damaging to new members.

It is not enjoyable to watch the board being taken over by an observably shady bunch and the resulting "drama" of all those innocent persons fighting for fair treatment. Observable double standards will end up crushing this entire community. Makes the entire environment look shady and manipulated. You only need a newbie to see evidence of a DT members scamming,  lying, implicated in a serious extortion attempt or punishing people for things they have done themselves and that's it, they will assume the entire board is shady. Rightly so.

EDIT - since making the above post it looks like the user VOD has given me additional red trust?  I think this demonstrates clearly more attempts at silencing anyone that mentions observable events this group of untrustworthy individuals wants to remain hidden. This is a fantastic trust system. Works brilliantly for scammers and liars.
