There should really be an open discussion as to whether or not this type of behavior is an acceptable practice for a DT1 member,
Agreed!
Allowing this kind of thing to happen without calling it out sets a dangerous precedent going forward.
I'd like to add to the open discussion the question whether or not there should be a technical limit to the number of DT1-votes any DT1-member gets. For example: Is it really desirable that a DT1-member without any support from other DT1-members gets to include or exclude many other DT1-members? Or should there be a limit on the "voting power"
within DT1 (possibly depending on the number of DT1-inclusions the user has)?
I agree with nutildah and DireWolfM14 and I want to add that negative is not appropriate. He is not scammer, he is trusted trader but his moral is questionable.
Agreed. I think this quote from theymos applies here too:
All three of TMAN, Vod, and OgNasty are forum veterans with good trade histories, and I would tend to trust all three of them (to varying degrees).
(the rest of theymos' post is worth reading too)
