I'm surprised Timelord2067 is on DT again. That's a good moment to clean up bad ratings made in the past, and this is one of them.
See:
The system is for handling trade risk, not for flagging people for good/bad posts/personalities/ideas.
Although I also find it harsh, our opinion doesn't worth much in the matter. Trust feedback is not moderated.
DT is "moderated" by the community

It may be an unpopular opinion but I fear that if your red tag will be removed you may start spamming the forum just to meet your posting quota.
That may be, but negative feedback shouldn't be used against spam.
