If you want to get rid of the "drama" hassles of being on DT1, just PM theymos and he can blacklist you like he did for me.
theymos will complete it when he is online. Very fast and simple.

I can tell you, I don't have to deal with a LOT of bs that I used to for whatever reason, as I don't always have the time to play the role I felt I needed to be for being on DT1 if that makes sense ....
It is probably because some members want to be in DT1 and spots for DT1 is limited. So drama occurs because they want to get in. For me, neither DT1 nor merit source is my dream.Your contribution makes your name, not any role like DT1 or merit source. Obviously, such things can unofficial raise your role and importance (somewhat) in the forum so someone might like this and want to get it.
