Let's be completely honest, we are talking about flag type 1 against "high risk" people, not contractual violations or scams; therefore it's not a case of opinion vs fact, but really subjective opinion vs subjective opinion,

If we're being honest, here's what it says on the flag itself (emphasis mine):

Quote

Vispilio alleges: Due largely to the factors mentioned in this topic, I believe that anyone dealing with Timelord2067 is at a high risk of losing money, and guests would be well-advised to avoid doing so. This determination is based on concrete red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with, and it is not based on the user's opinions.

So when you (and others) keep repeating that the flag is based on opinions I must conclude that you either don't know how it's supposed to work or deliberately ignore it, both good reasons to exclude you. Your thread does not show any indication of Timelord2067 posing a high risk of losing money, instead it is full of hyperbole and hurt feelings. Not a good fit with the trust system.

you are retaliating against losing your oligarchic authority in the trust system. You don't want strangers that you are not comfortable with having any power in the forum, you want to consolidate it amongst a few friends of yours with whom you share the same subjective life views and value systems apparently.

So you play these power games, abusing the little authority given to you by theymos' legal experiments to manipulate the innocent and not so experienced local forum participants... Not ethical at all suchmoon, but who is going to stop you, this is not a courtroom, and your friends are not incentivized enough to break their camaraderie with you over minor moral details, even though all of the intellectual ones would probably secretly agree with everything I've just said.

DT1 is capped at 100 and my exclusions have no influence over the candidate pool. I have the same chance to drop out of DT1 next month as any other candidate regardless of how many of those imaginary "friends" I have and said "friends" are not rushing to parrot my exclusions either. So this conspiracy theory doesn't make sense.

I have stopped caring about the DT impact of my decisions. I'm managing my trust list based solely on how I personally want to see trust ratings and flags, and I expect others to do the same with regards to me.
