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 agree with LoyceV on this one, surely the fact that this user is on -15 shows that what they are doing isn't working, and causing more members to distrust him?
I still think Lauda gets excluded because Lauda stirred up too many users. That's like being the opposite of Switzerland and increases the number of exclusions because more and more different users get a say in DT1. What if in the near future there are 15 users like peloso on DT1? All with DT1-strength -15. And what if they all decide to do this:
Aren't you tired of this order anymore?
Do you like someone to give you orders?
So let's revolutionize together
Add me to your trust list and I'll add you
Give me feedback and I'll give you
They'll all be back on DT1!
Retaliation is not a big problem if only a few users do it, but when it becomes a majority, the DT-system fails.
Any chance you can make a graph on
the number of DT1-members with negative strength per week? My gut feeling tells me it's slowly increasing.
