I did about 12 minutes of reading through some of the links here and I'm of the opinion that he shouldn't be on DT.
Lol! That shows wisdom!
In the old days, there's no fucking way he'd be on DT2 much less DT1.
In the old days Ratimov would have been ridiculed to the Moon by Lauda or TMAN for his plagiarism and, for sure, he would not manage to get away with all his shenanigans which, eventually, pushed him into DT and in a position from which he abuses this forum and the users for years and now (almost) everybody seems afraid of him.
if I added ~Ratimov would that do any good or is he just lumped in with my DT exclusion? If it's the latter, end of discussion. If not, I'll exclude him specifically ASAP with happy Halloween wishes and some advice to not let the door hit him on the way out.
Before the existence of this topic and
LV's topic, he had a stunning +13 DT strength. After people started reading these topics thoroughly and understood how they were all fooled by this thief, some found courage and started deleting him from their Trust lists or distrusting him directly. As of now, his DT strength lowered from +13 to +4 so there is still needed to have some more DT users to exclude him, in order to eliminate him from DT.
Therefore, your exclusion would certainly help in resolving the problems created by this imposter for years in a row.
So, yes, if you distrust him this would help a lot in resolving this situation.
