So, it means that they're still following what's going on here, but not planning to give any update about what's going on. It's nothing new to distrust users who left negative feedback on your profile, but I'm wondering why they added these few new names to their trust list?

I've been wondering about that for a while yesterday since I found out about their updated trust list, I initially thought they wanted to increase their trust rating [again, cosmetically] while simultaneously lowering their negative score. But it seems the ones they added to their trust list are not the ones who leave them a positive feedback, so adding them to their trust list won't do much to their rating, so I guess that's just to obscure what they did. They basically throw names to their trust lists so it look like they simply modifying their trust page to hide the fact of what they're actually trying to achieve.
BUT... another thing that crossed my mind is that a forum veteran like betnomi won't do such useless thing, they most likely familiar with how the trust feedback and trust list works. So... is it possible that there is a new admin in the house?
Really sad if this is their response to everything that is happening around them. I guess they thought that if they didn't see negative feedback because they added to their distrust list, the problem wouldn't exist.
Loyce has a very nice analogy for this [that I think I'll borrow from now on]
The digital equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes.
