Thanks for telling me what I think. To be clear - all 8 users having left you positive feedback and 6 of them getting into DT2 solely because of your inclusions, therefore boosting your trust score by +6, is what's nefarious in this situation.
This is going to betray some serious stupidity on my part, but I didn't realize you could do something like that to your advantage, i.e., making DT2 members out of those who've left you positive trust, thereby boosting your trust score. Makes sense now that suchmoon made the accusation here, though I'm not entirely convinced OgNasty would need to do something like that--or that he in fact did include those members to benefit himself. Only he knows.
More concerning is whether those members are worthy of being on DT2. I only recognize two of them, kingcolex and nonnakip, but don't really know anything about them or their reputations. Keeping my fingers crossed that the newly-christened DT2 members don't abuse their power.
