LoyceV also asked an interesting question along the lines of whether it's intended that DT1 excluded members can still make inclusions/exclusions to other DT1 members, if they are ultimately distrusted by "acting" DT1 members (cant' find quote though).
I think this is becoming a joke. There's one shithead with -15 still wreaking havoc in DT1, extorting other members with exclusions/inclusions. I think the idea was that such a person would ultimately stop being eligible for DT1 due to not having 10+ inclusions from merit-earning users but that's clearly not happening and with more and more merit being spread around there will be more merited idiots including other idiots. Perhaps exclusions should count against DT1 eligibility (e.g. if you're excluded by 2 users with 250+ merit, then that negates 2 inclusions from users with 250+ merit) but that probably would open other avenues for abuse. Good luck with that voting block idea. 
Isn't his -15 DT1-strength evidence of the DT-system working as intended?
Maybe, if the intent was to allow such users to extort other DT1 users. They can't directly affect DT ratings but still can do so indirectly, for example by including someone who is at -1 or excluding someone who is at 0 in DT1.
I was DT1 (-16) just
a few weeks ago thanks in part to persons such as
your good self who have peddled in accounts here in the BitCoinTalk Forum which causes instability in people's lives here and in real life.
At the moment I'm DT1 (-7) so yes, the current DT system works as it
actually distils not strengthens the damage account traders have here in this forum.
Most if not all of those who distrust me have at one point or another peddled BCT UID's, yourself included which is why I am not concerned. Sixteen is just a number, so is seven.
