It's up to DT1 to clean DT. In wolwoo's case, that works just fine: wolwoo (Trust: +2 / =1 / -3) (~~DT1~~ (-8) 413 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP).

Merit sources are up to theymos, and as far as I know his application has not been accepted. I can't really judge his Merit sending judgement because I can't read most of the posts, but if his judgement on Trust is a indicator for this, it's not good.

Since scams aren't moderated, I don't think promoting a scam is necessarily a reason to reject a Merit source application. Clear judgement is what's needed though, and anger tantrums aren't a good sign.

Yes it worked very well with regards to wolwoo because he was not a suitable candidate by any stretch of the imagination.

Anger issues and throwing the race card around for diversion tactics when all else fails are not a sign of clear judgement, nor is the manner is which he seems to find nothing wrong with what his close ally from the local board wolwoo is doing, hence the trust he left for him:

Going back to main point raised in the OP, it is clear that a DT member has openly said/accepted he knows he is promoting a scam. Instead of stopping he has decided to blame victims for getting scammed.

Yobit as a whole is cancer, but the user in question isnt spamming or fucking the forum.

Suggesting Yahoo not do the campaign is crazy dude, he is a great manager and is needed if we want to stop all the shitposting pajeets causing us all eyecancer. The only other option is to ban all yobit sigs IMO

You are right the user does not seem to be spamming in the forum but he has stated of his own accord that to him Yobit is a scam but for some inexplicable reason (other than making money) he continues to promote it and decides victims are to blame if they get scammed - therefore the question arises if this is the sort of user that should be on DT?

In my opinion it is a categoric "no" he should not be on DT therefore I asked the question in the OP hoping for a general consensus.

I kindly request all to post on topic please. Thank you.

I guess my point is that I think no one should be promoting YoBit. I am not sure but I think yahoo is on DT.

I dont think it is unreasonable to hold merit sources and DT members to a higher standard, so it would be even more important they not promote YoBit. But just because someone is not on DT or not a merit source doesnt mean I think it should be okay for them to promote a scam.

All users who promote scams should be held to account but the difference between those that promote it in the belief it is not a scam versus those that promote it knowing it is a scam are two different things altogether. The distinction between the two is huge. In the case of Vispilio he has made it clear he believes Yobit is a scam and is happy to blame victims for falling to the scam that he promotes. In the case of other users, I have not read them say they believe they are promoting a scam (maybe just wolwoo who in one of the threads linked in the OP might have let it slip once or twice while he was spouting profanities or being highly obnoxious).

To be on DT means having extra responsibility and being extra careful about the manner in which you conduct yourself. Even if all other bits of questionable conduct from Vispilio might be overlooked for the sake of benefits of doubts, I believe there no way whatsoever that any user who admits or accepts that they willing and knowingly are promoting a scam (and furthermore blame victims for getting scammed) should be on DT.

And I agree with you, I think those on MS and DT should be held to a higher standard because there is responsibility attached in the manner in which they conduct themselves.
