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.

His rating on nullius (which is how I derived my question to begin with):

achow101 2018-02-13 Very knowledgeable about Bitcoin and cryptography related things. Frequently gives in-depth, constructive, and well though out answers on various topics.

I'm don't think he'd remove it, his rating on shorena is also (per your standards here) wrong upon inspection.

shorena 2015-10-07 Great Guy. He always helps out with people and helps them fix problems that they have.

I don't want to drag achow101 into this and my belief that he would refuse is based on my understanding of the person. If you plan on going via this route, then I can bring you a very extensive list of users that you'd need to inform and/or later exclude.. and it would be even worse to do this just to some of the users and not all of them Undecided
