You might want to have a look at
this person's gaming the system over the last six months adding then subtracting the same/similar users again and again. Same as Peloso has been doing.
I looked at it and I don't think it's similar to what peloso is doing at all. He's not in DT1 and even if he gets in next month his trust list changes don't seem to boost his rating or damage anyone's rating, nor is he fishing for support at the bottom of the DT1 list, like peloso was attempting to do. He also hasn't declared that he will include anyone who includes him, which is what peloso said and what prompted my post that you quoted.
Last of the V8s is an official owner of an extra large tin of ball polish, he gets a pass.
