Re: [overview] Lauda's DefaultTrust statistics & relevant topics list

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?

What if in the near future there are 15 users like peloso on DT1? All with DT1-strength -15.

If that occurs, then I'd probably be providing the statistics and requesting a quote from you in a year from now Tongue

Until then, this isn't the case and I don't think it will be. There are many theoretical "what if" scenarios, but personally I'm more interested in "what is" scenarios (the present), as there are enough of them already without needing to speculate on the potential future. If the present scenarios are dealt with then the future will likely follow suit. Speculating too much on the future means you're not focusing on the present imo. Not to say theoretical scenarios are irrelevant, but they might take some time to mature to becoming relevant.

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.

All negative strength users can be found within the "elected" and "un-elected" graphs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5256829.0
I wasn't intending to do this per week, as shifting users from sheet to sheet is a bit annoying, but intending to do so after each DT update when more changes occur.
