Lauda had (2) net-inclusions on DT1.
Lauda now has 6 net-inclusions on DT2.
Lauda got blacklisted from DT1.
I have 2 scenarios
1: suppose Lauda wasn't blacklisted, but got 3 more exclusions from other DT1 members. That would mean Lauda was removed from DefaultTrust entirely.
2: the current state (Lauda blacklisted from DT1). Now suppose Lauda gets the same 3 exclusions from DT1. That would mean Lauda still has 3 net-inclusions on DT2 and remains on DefaultTrust.
This means it is possible that a DT1-exclusion leads to a member being on DT2 which wouldn't happen without blacklisting. This is probably caused by the fact that excluded DT1-members can vote against other DT1-members, but they can't vote against DT2-members.
Is that the intended behaviour of the DefaultTrust system?
I was reminded about this
by The-One-Above-All.
It turns out LoyceMobile's scenario became reality:
According to
IsLaudaStillOnDT.tk:
YEP.
Lauda is on DT2 with 1 inclusions.
Now check
Lauda's Trust inclusions and exclusions from DT1 (data from last Saturday morning's data dump):
The result:
19 inclusions
20 exclusions
The reason: TECSHARE and zazarb are on DT1, but excluded by other DT1s. That means they can still vote to exclude other DT1-members, but they can't "downvote" DT2-members (because their vote doesn't count there).
I've posted before asking if this is the intended behaviour, but theymos never responded. I'm still curious to know if this is a a flaw or done on purpose.
Note that Lauda wouldn't be on DT1 even without being excluded by theymos: emptying your own Trust list disqualifies you already.
Am I getting this right, if somebody gets excluded from DT1 by "vote", then this vote can only count directly against their exclusion from DT1, still allowing for that person to have a spot on DT2 and no way to directly vote them out.
IMHO, even if that's not a bug, it sounds very much like the opposite of a desired effect. If I understand this correctly, the only way to vote against DT2 participants is to exclude all their DT1 trusters? That's also a big disincentive against using DT at all.
