If I was right, last two months, theymos even added Full Member rank to his Trust list, @DIKUL.

That didn't happen: http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-31_Sat_06.04h/35.html

What does it mean?
DT update log (on September 4, 2019) ?

Actually, being added to a trust list means that your given trust feedback to other users is accurate and valuable for the community much more than being actually a trustworthy user. It's quite possible to be on DT while you haven't done a single trade but exposed tons of scams instead and the left feedback by you is valuable for other users to prevent them from being scammed.

I know.

- Trustworthy: Through tradings with others, through scam fightings (scam accusation threads or posts).

About the suggestion: it's an interesting idea to take the rank into consideration but I'm not sure if it helps. I can see 2 disadvantages by doing so:

- New users registering after Merit introduction will have a disadvantage compared to users ranked up before (possibly with low effort posts). Theymos is known for disliking too much restrictions for new users and obtaining a Legendary rank would take almost 2 years.
- Such a change could encourage account sales of high-ranked accounts when scammers are trying to abuse trust.

This is reasons why I suggest to restrict at Full member rank or Senior member rank and above. I don't think good users will have to spend two years to become Full members. 6 months or one year is long enough to see quality of those users from their posts, threads, and merit history.
I don't think such restrictions will trigger account sales just to become DT members or to abuse trust system. They can buy accounts, but they can not buy merits (significant amounts) without side-effects on bought-accounts.

- You must have at least 2 people directly trusting you with an earned merit of at least 250

It means earned merits, not airdropped merits, so buying accounts with airdropped merits is pointless.
