nullius is not in DT. He's jumped the shark big time so hopefully will never get to the point where those ratings are visible by default but you never know. He does have enough votes for DT1 because people can't see the difference between "uses a lot of words" and "has good judgement".
And yes, reporting shitposters is the right way to deal with it. Red trust is not. This has been discussed ad nauseam and it's one of the reasons why merit system exists.
I am just checking whats happened here. I guess you were also guided by the information from
BPIP but it seems nullius is on DT1 list if this is correct of the last
DT update log by theymos.
To the OP. Usually, if any user abusing his DT power, it made a different effect and they going with ~ on many other DT members trust lists.
