Are you implicitly saying that achow101 should be excluded because of this as well? I'm just trying to understand the extent of this statement..
Hypothetically: if he's posting frivolous trust ratings - he should be informed about it. He's probably a reasonable person and might be simply mistaken. My comment was based entirely on nullius' assertion that it's a "custom" on D&T. If true that's a bad custom for the rest of the forum. I haven't looked into any of that myself.
Whos next? How far will this go? It is not exactly a winning argument, if you want to keep anybody with sound judgment in DT.
Assuming someone would continue posting frivolous trust ratings after being informed that those ratings don't meet the "unlikely to scam" or "high-risk trading" thresholds - that's not sound judgement, regardless of their technical expertise.
