Misery loves company... I’m guessing a person’s personal happiness correlates strongly with the type of feedback they typically leave. Possibly also a feeling of helplessness in their own lives causes them to want an outlet for their frustration which tends to manifest itself in an abuse of any authority they may perceive themselves to have, in this case, leaving negative feedback in the DT network.
I would rather give every user a negative tag rather than a positive tag.
Even after the DT changes, I
still consider any positive feedback to be much more impactful than negative feedback. It's already bad enough that new users will have a false sense of security unless they know the inner workings of how to trust others here (i.e. not at all, at least initially).
