Please create a Brand New profile and go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust, so that you can see forum's DT, not your customized one.

You don't need a new account for that. To view any page as DT, just add ;dt to the url: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dt

There are 100 members in the above list.

Several DT1-members are excluded by other DT1-members. That means they don't really count as DT1-members anymore. Details: see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dtview

My point was Why a random subset, while you can filter through Forum Position?

If anything other than random is used, it'll end up with the same set of DT1-members each month. Theymos want it to be more dynamic, and also give newer users a chance to reach DT1.

Merit system is in place since January 24, 2018. A lot of people contributed before, but did not earn any merit for that. Those threads have gone down in the history of BitcoinTalk. Only a handful of those get merit today. IMHO, the only way to recognize the contribution made before January 24, 2018, is to consider Forum Position as a selection criteria of DT.

There are much more account farmers and spammers with old high-ranking accounts, than valuable users. But if you see old valuable posts, please use Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.
