So, if we also look at the data from your latest trust dump here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139250.msg56701583#msg56701583You have 465 users on DT2. Between the two boxes above of 0 net inclusions and 1 net inclusion, there are 286 users. Requiring a minimum of 2 net inclusions to be included on DT2 would bring the total from 465 down to 179. I think that is a much more reasonable number than 465. 100 DT1s, and ~200 DT2s.
Some of the best scam busters are/were on DT2 and not DT1, so I wouldn't want DT2 feedback to be lessened in its weight.
Sure, but these users generally have way more than 2 net inclusions anyway. In the rare case that someone with a lot of good feedback was excluded from DT2 under my proposal, there is nothing stopping the single DT1 member who includes them (or any other user for that matter) to start a thread in reputation drawing attention to the matter. If they truly deserve a DT2 spot, then it would only take 1 of the other 99 DT1 members to agree, which is not exactly a high bar to pass.
You need at least 10 people to trust you to become DT1, whereas you can become DT2 with only 1 person trusting you. Seems a bit of a disconnect there to me.
