I know you're trying to produce an analogue for your situation but given that I don't know the full details, I can't say anything in relation to that.
However, when it comes to this premise, I agree. The trust system should be used responsibly and as objectively as possible.

These might then influence how you process their posts/information, leading to skewed outcomes and potentially significantly-different perspectives when two people look at the same issue/topic.

I am quite confident after thorough review any honest half inteligent person would come to the conclusion that I have been wronged..
But you know, I might be biased a little bit, so don't take my word for it and please make your independent review..
Or, you could always just ignore it, but some may consider that failing to uphold the duties of DT..
Completely independent of the fact that it should be removed, more importantly, people should know..
