Re: [Blacklist Request] the Neg Rating Spammer Defamatory Troll ~JollyGood
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.”.
Your guide to trust system is for absolute beginners and is lacking in many ways, I'm using the trust system to maximize the utility and intellectual strengths of Bitcointalk. You lost all credibility when you didn't speak out once against all the bullshit ratings left against me many months ago.
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.
Agreed.
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.
Blacklisting lauda was one of the best decisions admin gave in years, you should have seen how much panic it caused among the DT1 cultists, they almost had a collective heart attack realizing that their fat salaries might be in danger soon
, alas @theymos made a very elementary mistake, the blacklist was only for DT1, not for the whole DT (or perhaps he caved into peer pressure or was instructed to make it only a half measure by his boss, that's open to debate).And you are right the whole DT needs a revamp, first of all a forum member shouldn't be penalized, coerced or outcast just for casting his vote, you cannot encourage people to vote and then try to invalidate them because they don't agree with the corrupt, hypocritical nature of DT1.
Picture this, most members in the Turkish local have wiped their trust lists because they are afraid of suchmoon, foxpup, etc. excluding them, marlboroza writing "ban requests" against them, jolly ninja leaving red trust against them, and LoyceV sneakily social engineering to invalidate them from the forum... This resembles more slavery in ancient Rome than a "decentralized democracy"
All the Best
