@DireWolf you made your conclusion based on words not facts.

Yes, you are right, but that doesn't mean I haven't considered the facts. I see a lot of facts that add up to a lot of circumstantial evidence. It's all very suspicious. Even if wwzsocki is telling the truth and crypto mania is his friend, there has obviously been an excessive amount of merit cycled between the two accounts. That's an issue, but is it a red trust issue? Once again I'll bring up that theymos isn't concerned about merit abuse, because of the decaying nature of sMerit. There's only so much those two accounts can cycle, and at some point it will be completely depleted.

It's also worth considering the accounts and their behavior; are they beneficial to the forum? I think the answer is yes, and you are entitled to disagree. This shouldn't be something that influences whether they get red trust or not, but it does add to the circumstantial evidence supporting wwzsocki's claim. His pattern of behavior does suggest that he may be telling the truth.

For the next point I want to make make I'll bring the famous tag line from the OJ Simpson trial: "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." Does the evidence presented prove, beyond a reasonable doubt that wwzsocki and Crypto Mania are alts? You may argue that this is a bad example (because we all know OJ is guilty,) I would argue that it's the best example. The systems are only as good as the people implementing them, and people are flawed. So, the system is bound to be flawed. But if the system's flaws are biased towards the presumption of innocence, then they are flawed in the right direction, in my opinion.

The trust system is decentralized, meaning you are welcome to tag the two account for any reason you choose. I'm not asking any one to remove their tags, just consider your justification for doing so carefully.

...rules are rules and we have to judge everyone equally.

Please tell me which rules are you talking about?

That's thing, there are no official rules for trading merit with your alts (or friends,) yet there are a few activities that don't violate the rules but are sure to earn you a red-tag. That's the issue with a decentralized trust system, it's bound to have flaws. As a community we should work together to mitigate those flaws.

I do too but they (DT member who have tagged him) can't based their judgement just on emotions, they have to work with facts and evidence and that's what they're doing until proven otherwise.

I beg to differ. I think I've made my argument base on reason. I have never crossed paths with wwzsocki or Crypto Mania, and I have no emotional attachment to either. But I do have a vested interest in a fair and unbiased trust system.
