I think the new trust system should balance out by DT observers kicking out trust abusers
Interesting idea, but who are going to be those DT observers? Isn't that the task of all DT1-members already?
Right on. Do it

I would rather get through my situation while doing the least that could be perceived as retaliation on my part as I can.. Actions by me could easily be seen as personal bias, a conflict of interest, or petty retaliation..
For now I'll keep my faith in the greater community to do what is right..
Do you think this is a poor choice of action?
I do not think it is up to DT1 members alone, but also DT2, aspiring DT users, and basically everyone in the community that may be interested, are entitled to their opinions and trust list choices..
Exercising these choices is what will get you onto DT in the first place right?
