I assume this is as it's not possible for anyone to add this user to their trust list, unless I'm mistaken ?
You're mistaken, see ~Money~'s Trust list.

It sounds more like you need to ban avoid scraping trust data of this user for your trust list viewer, as opposed to the user being banned from the forum.
I'm already working on that:
NEW: Blacklist
The following users are blacklisted for Trust list spam:
Being blacklisted means I don't process their Trust list. I still show inclusions/exclusions from other users.

I don't see a problem with someone testing the limits of the forums infrastructure, especially someone who is incapable of gaining any trust by looks of it.
I think the limits are about the same as the limits for the ignore list, which several people have run into already. The problem in this case is the username he's using for it.

I think he can be included by adding this:
Code:
\~DefaultTrust
Update: TryNinja beat me to it Smiley
It's weird though, when I test it (from a non-DT1 account), Chrome hangs on "Waiting for bitcointalk.org...".

The fact that usernames can be created starting with ~ is also a bigger problem in itself I'm assuming, so kudos for this user bringing this issue to light. I don't they are impersonating DefaultTrust what so ever though, if anything they are failing to impersonate ~DefaultTrust (distrusting DT), in a meaningless and ineffective manner.
I admit it was creative Cheesy

Threat level assessment: 1/10.
I think you're right. Title updated: CANCEL Request.
I'll lock this topic soon.
