People who have voted you to be in DT, I think they can reconsider their vote.
Being absent for several years and returning
You must have a misunderstanding. I was not active only for a couple of months, not several years. Vod was trying to create this thing of I supposed to be another person, telling me I will exit scam and such provoking speeches.
So I do feel you are another person and given the chance, would trade years of trustworthiness for a profit.
All i see is the other person has more green points on their profile, so people trust him 'Vod' more, is this what you're trying to say?, if there's abuse then you should contact those people in private message, do people who trust someone get notification or something when the person they 'Vote' (Trust) is in question?, you should do it asap, the longer it remains the more damage it has on reputation, I can assume.
