I don't quite understand the addition of Timelord2067 to DT1. There are about 7 DT1s that trust him and about 17 that distrust him. Didn't he drop out of DT2 because of that?
See Default trust breakdown: he has DT1 Strength (-12), which means his feedback isn't shown by default. But he can still vote for other DT1-members (up or down).

I know that Trust system works this way but I don't think it is 100% fair, to say so... The system is made, in fact by 3 components:

1. Be eligible to be elected
2. The monthly random shuffle
3. The inclusions and exclusions.

Practically, these 3 components are complementary to each other and work as a whole.

So in this case, after a monthly reshuffle we have user A included in DT1, as he was eligible to be part of DT1. At same time though, he has more exclusions than inclusions (from other DT1 users), therefore he is automatically out of DT, although the reshuffle placed him there. Practically, the vote of majority took him out. In this case, I don't consider it's fair to allow this user to still have the power of voting for other DT members, as he was, actually, removed from DT by the votes of those excluding him (which was greater than the ones including him).

What I'm trying to say is that, although (1) a user is eligible to be part of DT1 and (2) the system nominated him as DT1 (by the monthly reshuffle), then if he is cast out by the vote of majority (more exclusions than inclusions) then his voting powers should be also eliminated. Why should he have the power to vote if he is not part of DT?
