It would be extremely difficult to disagree (in good faith) about the bad usage of the trust system, the examples shared are objectively borderline cases.
I don't agree at 100% with LoyceV's view on insults and offensive expressions on the forum, even if I understand his point of view well. Yes, indeed, it is allowed here, and that as adults, we can all manage to get past potential insults on a internet forum. It's a fact, we're not made of sugar and fragile.
But this community, this forum, is not a comment page for a random press article on the internet. This is just my personal point of view (I know rules are rules), but members who are DT, in the list of most recognized (and most monetizable indirectly) profiles of the forum, should be exemplary.
Ha ha, stupid motherfucker [...] son of a Romanian whore who was gang-raped.
Son of a Romanian whore
What would a Romanian Mixtum user have thought when he saw these messages randomly on the forum?
I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but from my point of view, that's the kind of thing that could dramatically damage his credibility.
Similarly, is someone who seems to have trouble managing his emotions/anger really in a position to judge users and try to bring trust to the community? That's why I decided to distrust Ratimov when the issue in the AOBT topic happened.
