this topic is utterly pointless as I said before.

no, Bitcointalk is gradually becoming "utterly pointless" in the eyes of the greater crypto space because of failed dystopian experiments and their blind followers.

This thread is merely attempting to turn this forum into a more relevant platform again, and I simply would like to have business interests here. I couldn't care less whether on some isolated philosophical level a crude, decentralized, open-ballot democracy should work in keeping order and meritocracy or not;

That's exactly where we differ. I'm not interested in relying on central authorities to remove "bad apples" from a system (a blacklist request), I'm more interested in changes in a system that in itself reduces bad actors from emerging. Otherwise similar situations occur over and over again. Blacklisting isn't a solution, Lauda already proved that by gaining DT2 inclusion with negative DT1 strength (a feline loophole). I realise you are also suggesting a "revamp" of the DT system, but within your post your only suggestion is blacklisting. This is why I said the topic is utterly pointless, it's redundant of any useful proposal. I hope that's the on-topic constructive criticism you were looking for anyway.

You (Vispilio) don't make a very strong argument though, the feedback you left JollyGood doesn't match the forum's description: "Negative - You think that trading with this person is high-risk.":

The endless lies and negative rating spam of this troll are causing considerable financial damage in ad revenue lost both to forum and innocent members.
Admin should blacklist ~jollygood instantly from all layers of DT, if there is even the slightest intent of maintaining a functional crypto forum.

In my opinion (which you even translated), this feedback should be neutral. To quote Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”.

I also thought you were better off with the "moral highground" of leaving neutral feedback for the past 6 months, whether that was working or not, but that's up to you. You could of altenativey left neutral feedback highlighting the fact that JollyGood is somewhat indiscriminately tagging users who endorsed your services, but you didn't either.
