Obviously, Theymos doesn't think that the current level of abuse is significant enough for him to change the rules. But eventually, as more people start complaining about the unjust use of the trust system, he will likely come up with a different plan, or at least, that's what he usually does, fix things.
But they won't, because things aren't actually that bad, and nobody will offer a better solution that the majority can agree upon.
It is only because the current system indeed works that borovichok (OP) got his negative trust removed and is once again
freely spamming shitposts contributing to the forum.
Those who are breaking the system always look for anything to back it up, even if it is clear that the system is completely broken. theymos is wandering around the forum with an incorrect red tag simply because someone disagreed with him. theymos is not stupid he knows that the system is broken and he must be working on something, might take some time to implement but it will happen.
Yes, I had my red removed for speaking out (it wasn't intended to be there in the first place if the system was working properly), and I was right; however, what about hundreds of others who are unable to speak up against theirs?
Cool boys left inappropriate tag => the powerless cries for help=> cool boys removes inappropriate tag. Rinse and repeat. A show of power.
Come to the meta to say someone got his tag removed so the system is perfectly working. Bra bra...
