Well, theres this to go by:
Trust spam isn't allowed. If I see anyone posting dozens of fake trust ratings (from one account or many alt accounts), I will delete all of their ratings <
>
I agree that it is a little annoying to see a wall of negative ratings, but this is in the "untrusted" section. The way things are set up currently, untrusted ratings can be easily spammed in a number of ways. That's why those ratings are hidden by default.
The quote is from 2014, so its a long standing complaint that crops up every now and then due to childish retaliation feedback, or spamming otherwise on the Trust feedback.
Exactly. Had I gotten one about the wolfbet sig, something about it it might not be legit because of "X" reason. I most likely would have ignored it. Even if he tagged everyone in the campaign. But calling it illegal, the retaliatory trust spam, the walls of text have gotten to be an issue.
Makes you wonder if a straight timer would work:
You can leave 1 feedback per hour, counted from your last feedback.
For every current DT 1 member that leaves you negative feedback that adds an hour to that count.
theymos (and people he trusts) can set your feedback timer to whatever they want that with no restrictions.
And done.
You want to leave 100+ feedbacks after getting dinged by just 2 DT 1 members that's 300+ hours assuming you never miss the window to post.
You want to leave a wall of spam, great it's going to take you weeks. By then some mod or someone else can take a look before it gets to this point. Would be a quicker fix.
None of this would help the current situation but could make the mods life easier in the future.
