See, I don't think any good users are being driven away from the forum because of red-tagging.  And if they're scammers or otherwise unsavory members, good riddance.  The only member I can think of who left because of some red was aTriz and his alt.  Bill gator almost left, but I don't think he disappeared completely--and I happen to like him and thought he probably shouldn't have gotten tagged. 

I don't think putting a big red warning on a potential or actual scammer is accomplishing nothing, by the way.  Sure, there are some members who are trying to build their reputation by doing so, but as long as they get it right I don't have a problem with the motivation.  I started tagging account sellers after I got scammed back in 2016, when it became obvious to me how harmful sales of high-ranked, green-trusted accounts could be--not because I wanted to get on DT.  I never thought that would happen and was absolutely shocked when I got put on it.

I've also admitted tagging shitposters was a bad idea, which is also something I used to do right up until the creation of the merit system.  Those feedbacks have been deleted, though, and that practice has essentially been abolished.

Anyway, I partially agree about the objective standards, but there's no getting around the fact that some subjectivity is going to have to creep in somewhere.  It always does and there's no getting around it.
