" do nothing" No this is not really how DT is designed to work as The Pharmacist explained to you above. DT can not self regulate if people do nothing when they feel something is clearly wrong. If you are not willing to take action when you see things are clearly wrong. DT is not a place for you.

If you feel that there has been a CLEARLY inappropriate use of tags of flags. Then really you act upon this by resisting those inappropriate tags and flags or DT simply will not work. Theymos has designed the system to function on FRICTION / RESISTANCE and AGREEMENT if everyone just sits there when they notice CLEARLY inappropriate use of the trust system. The trust system can not self regulate.

Let's try to keep this thread civil.

Anyway, since you are here now why not give your opinion on the red trust. I mean if you believe it is a valid use of red trust then just relax do your best to form a transparent and clear account of your reasoning for that. This is a civil debate concerning a 3rd party to us.  . This is simply a good example we believe of the red trust being misused in a very net negative way when you consider the entire context surrounding the project he was referring to in his post and the potential motivation for applying red trust to silence his correct and undeniable criticisms.

Anyway, if you think this is a valid or invalid use of red trust, then just go ahead and give your opinion/reasoning or leave it to others that want to have a civil debate.

An interesting and in some ways very surprising thread so far though. Some objectivity, and sensible well reasoned answers. There is a modicum of hope for the future of decentralized trust, although of course we believe a central point of authority with both ultimate power and sole accountability would work best, but the responsibility, workload (even at only a final say level) and future possible legal blowback is too much to expect from any one person. Still regardless of recent events one must never forget the opportunities and benefits this forum has given us all. For that we must be grateful.

Anyway on with the debate.

@thenewanon - It would be good if you can keep the the appropriate use of the red trust in this instance. Another thread concerning these " behaviors" you claim could make him worthy of an exclusion should be debated in the full context of other comparable behaviors that you are NOT going to exclude for IN A DIFFERENT THREAD if possible thanks.

This will derail from the specific use of red trust here. Lauda likely has excluded him anyway. We have not looked into that part, because although it could be viewed as a form of punishment, is not something that is used currently as such a massive threat as destroying his reputation score and leaving red marks on his account that can be jumped upon as leverage for FURTHER discrimination in terms of campaigns and other opportunities. Red marks currently (by a design flaw we believe) hold huge influence over nearly all rev streams and trading.

So please make a thread about these "apparent behaviors" YOU feel COULD be worthy of trust exclusions. if you like.

Since you are here, and have decided to go with the potential for exclusions suggestion as an alternative, CAN WE ASSUME that you feel red trust in NOT VALID in this instance? Yes?

Tman seems to be intent on making accusations and insults about eddie but provides zero evidence or corroborating events to substantiate them. Best to probably do your own research before accepting anything at face value.

Edit - tman seems to have given a semi reasonable opinion now,  and is saying the red trust in this instance does not seem valid. I am going to give him 10/10. I'm sure he will start to warm to us now.

So that means so far we have pretty much 100% agreement that the red trust is NOT valid.  That was rather surprising in a good way.
