Inactive members shouldn't be on DT. Their trust feedback is still visible in the system, which can sometimes be useful. However, ensuring that all members on DT network are active is also a responsibility shared by all DT members. The problem is that only a few people take DT seriously anymore.
What actually led me to create this thread was because a saw a staff being given a negative feedback by a member who is no longer active in the forum for about 5 years.
That banned troll has dozens of fake trust feedbacks and this is just one of them. If you read the reference, you'll see that has nothing to do with me. He was kicked out of DT1 but still remains in DT2. The surprising part is that people still trust him. The fact that someone has given hundreds of correct trust feedbacks doesn't justify them giving dozens of wrong ones either.
Try to be holistic and rational here; take for a example, a certain scammer is discovered and tagged by a DT member in 2018, and down to 2025, you exclude the DT member that tagged the scammer due to inactive, don't you think the scammer will simply return to the forum to scam?
When someone leaves DT their feedback doesn't disappear. It still remains there. To form an opinion about a member, you should look at all trust feedback, not just DT ones. If someone attempts such a scam years later, it will be noticed quickly and other active DT members can also tag that scammer.
