Actually that is kind of the whole point of the trust system.

No, its not, at all...

Trust lists

- If you find someone who has sent accurate trust actions and has no inaccurate/inappropriate trust actions, add them to your trust list. Inclusion in trust lists is a more a mark of useful contributions than your trust in them, though at least a little trust is necessary.

You are not basing your inclusions on this criteria. You are basing them on

1. their willingness to include you, and
2. who has excluded them from their trust lists.

This kind of mindset has led to scammers, banned users and users who blatantly misuse the trust system being added to DT.

Actually, it is. There are supposed to be counterbalancing forces within the trust system, that is the entire point of implementing it as opposed to just having Theymos unilaterally decide who is on it.

Sure, "counterbalancing forces." The force you are part of is those who base their trust inclusions on selfish motivations that have nothing to do with insuring proper use of the trust system.
