99.9% forgiveness of old blacklisted! this is a rare example.
It is indeed rare--but I betcha that if the members of the old list are still active here, they'll eventually start pulling the same crap. Maybe that's me being pessimistic, but a lot of shitposters just don't have it in them to make well thought out posts and to not post-burst, etc.
In any case, there aren't a hell of a lot of signature campaigns around anymore anyway, are there? I have the Services section on ignore, but last I checked there were only a handful of them--and from what I've heard there aren't even that many bounties around either. So the forgiveness might actually be somewhat of a moot point.
Don't you think it is the responsibly of the New DT Members also to check & revise their ratings from time to time and not just tag and forget ?
Eh, I don't review my tags periodically but if someone PMs me asking to get a negative removed I do listen to their request and will remove a feedback if enough time has passed and there haven't been any further instances of shenanigans. In fact I did exactly that for a member about 3 days ago. But it's been my experience that most negs members earn probably deserve to stay put.
