DON'Ts
Unfortunately, most of times, when someone open their Trust Appeals, minutes, hours, days or weeks later, their Negative trust points move to new all time highs. Why?

They usually try to attack or troll all DT members
They have unstable emotions and posting habits after open Trust Appeals
They don't honestly admit their mistakes
They try to stick their appeals everywhere in the forum, around topics

There's a much easier explanation: they draw attention to themselves. And if the red trust is justified, getting DT-attention usually means collecting more red trust.

I just wonder where we might be if everyone had just ignored him when he first got started all those months ago

That's never going to happen on a big forum: by the time some users have given up responding to a troll, other users will notice it for the first time and try to reason with him again until they too give up and are replaced by someone else.

I have saw some, rather to be more personal "beefs" perhaps with people disliking each other and giving some RED-trust to fast

Maybe the ignore button should be labeled "I don't like this person".

- Forgiveness: Often people make fairly small mistakes, but then they seemingly get red-trusted for life. This isn't really fair, and it discourages participation due to paranoia

This forum indeed always feels like the smallest thing can get you red trust. I've been leaving more neutral trust, and encourage others to do the same.
