I have to say that I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw this Default Trust rating on my trust page:
~
How these kind of users end up in DT is beyond my knowledge.
My guess: Someone on DT1 is targeting Lauda.
This morning, Lauda was at
+33 / =6 / -4, now it's
+32 / =6 / -11.
https://bpip.org/r/dt1changes.aspx shows that
peloso (DT1 strength (2)) has added many users to DT2 today, and several of those have left Lauda negative feedback in the past.
It could be the real target is someone else (or multiple users), but I guess Lauda is the most likely scenario.
Peloso has also
increased his own positive feedback by adding users who left him positive feedback to DT2 (
Trust Selfscratching).
I'd say this is Trust abuse.
I only now see morvillz7z beat me to it.
