Re: Trust Selfscratchers: how every DT1 user changes their own trust

What would be the right way to do it? Add the user (i.e. OgNasty) into the trust list on one account and then use a second account to add the first one into the trust list so that OgNasty goes down one level, right?
If I do that I get these numbers for him: 23: -6 / +73
This gives:If I do that I get these numbers for him: 23: -6 / +73
Depth 1: OgNasty (0)
Depth 2: OgNasty (-4)
It looks like 1 custom inclusion (as a dependant from an inclusion on an alt-account) on Depth 1 cancels out 6 DT1 exclusions on the same level. I didn't expect that, but in retrospect it makes sense: all inclusions from DefaultTrust on Depth 1 have voting power (1) or (-1), and not for instance (-6). That makes a custom Trust list more powerful compared to DefaultTrust than I thought until now.
From what I can see, the (-4) on Depth 2 means nothing as long as the user is included on Depth 1. As a test: OgNasty is the only DT1 who included Bees Brothers (Trust: 70: -0 / +7) (31 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP). After including an alt-account that included OgNasty, Bees Brothers' feedback shows up as trusted.
To conclude: I think this is the right way to do it
If you teamed up with other DT members to manipulate the trust network, would your difference rating be shown here as higher or lower than average?
Lower. But I have no reason to believe anyone was planning ahead to get lower on this list before I made it.This could become a problem if DT2-requirements are changed and require at least 2 DT1 inclusions.
I'm gonna need an ELI5 on what "-1" means. Am I excluding someone who posted a positive rating for me?
