I believe the guidelines are for trustworthy people and DefaultTrust. There were never any guidelines for non-DT members (for the old or the new system), you could send as many frivolous ratings as you've wanted.
Ok, then we disagree what is valid for DefaultTrust or not. I don't think red trust for trolling etc is a good use of DefaultTrust privileges.
Nowhere did I say, nor mean to imply the above.. I used this as an example within a set of actions by individuals, with whom others may not want to trade because of said actions.
If that is your opinion, it is certainly a respectable opinionand I never thought otherwise, as to suchmoons seemingly quite similar opinion. But the question is, do you think that reasonable disagreement with that opinion is grounds for ~exclusion?
This is also another factor that is completely being ignored and hasn't been addressed in the public as it is yet another ugly truth of the system. "Agree to disagree" card gets played, but since you're outranked and outnumbered we will kick you out because why not? Complete lapses in judgement (see Yahoo & Yobit situation, being the most recent) are not sufficient for an exclusion, but a singular rating which you disagree with is? Please.
..but the system has spiraled from decentralization into a weird form of nepotism-based democracy with selective judicial enforcement)..
