The last one is a weird addition to DT1: this user hasn't left a single feedback rating, but is included by 11 users:
What's also weird is most of the low-merited users that include that account haven't left any trust ratings, except when responding to ratings left on their account. 8 of the accounts created trust lists in Weeks 300 to 303, and the contents of the lists are largely the same. I dunno if this kind of coordination is ultimately for DT padding, trust score padding, or both, but that's what it looks like.
Those 11 users are Italian. I wonder if chad fillippone can enlighten us.
Hey, I have been summoned into this discussion and I had to reread a few messages back to understand what we are talking about.
I have no particular insight to add: I know a little about those users, but they are writing on the Italian board and, of course, have been merited multiple times by me because of the quality of their post.
In particular regarding the DT1 I am not aware of any scheme or coordination.
The only thing I can say is that I usually encourage the fill of the DT list:

[INFO] TRUST. Come funziona il sistema di feedbackThe same thing was done by Babo when he took this monthly update.
So, maybe those users decided to compile their DT list and, fulfilling all the other criteria, became selected by Theymos.
I have little to add to this.
If you discover some coordination effort, I don't know what to say. I am unsure if it is against the rules, but I will look into the evidence.
If those accounts are alts of a game person, there would probably be some merit cycling between them that is at least frowned upon, and of course, I would be happy to discover such a situation.
Otherwise, I must only be happy there is more variety in DT1: I think this was one of the targets of this procedure, wasn't it?
