That's an example of a DT who people say has a good reputation and can be trusted, but who commits stupid and anti-critical actions. So, is there still trust in people like that? I know not all DTs are like that, but Jolly has abused a lot of trust system

Making a thread like that and locking it isn't the worst crime in the world, and I think everyone is blowing that way out of proportion. Yes, it was a breach of etiquette and the thread shouldn't have been locked, but it's not as though he stopped any discussion about BitcoinGirl.Club's trustworthiness. He just made it impossible to discuss in his own thread.

If we talk about humanity then the worst crime is killing humans, if we talk about independence then the worst crime is colonialism, if bitcointalk is a discussion forum then the worst crime is prohibiting discussion (such as creating a controversial thread and locking it)

JollyGood has indeed shown a pattern of poor judgement when it comes to using the trust system, which is why I had him excluded way back before I wiped my trust list entirely. In fact, I just realized that when I made a new trust list not too long ago, I forgot to exclude him from it--but that omission has now been corrected. Last I knew, JG was trying to do some good on the forum and might still be; I haven't looked at any of the feedbacks he's handed out in probably a year or more, but though I don't think he ought to be on DT I don't think he's a malicious, evil motherfucker either.

And to those of you complaining about his wrongly-given trust, just ~ him in your trust list if you haven't already. If enough members on DT do that, he won't be on DT anymore and his feedbacks won't carry nearly as much weight. The whole DT system is a farce, but the inclusion/exclusion feature is a voting mechanism and problem DT members ideally should be weeded out through it.

For all these statements, I agree with you and as always you have a great view.
