Title: Why is EAL is moderator but not on DT? Post by: BurgerKill on August 04, 2015, 10:44:48 PM I recently noticed that EAL wasn't on the DT list, and yet he's a moderator. Why did this happen? I would think that if a member would become a moderator, he'd be trusted enough to be on DT.

EAL seems pretty shady from what I read (no, i'm not calling them shady). Someone might be worried about him or her leaving trust on alts or "friends" sharing the same IP.

Also Lot's of mods are not in it. Title: Re: Why is EAL is moderator but not on DT?

You do know that most members on the level 1 default trust don't get to choose who is moderator and who is not? ;) Title: Re: Why is EAL is moderator but not on DT? Post by: SaltySpitoon on August 04, 2015, 11:17:47 PM Being a moderator and being on default trust are two different things. The majority of members on default trust aren't moderators. Staff aren't necessarily trusted as far as trades go, they just need to be reliable with moderation policy.
Dont treat a staff member any different than any other member, we don't have any personal info about each other, and staff could just as easily scam as anyone else.

Dont treat a staff member any different than any other member, we don't have any personal info about each other, and staff could just as easily scam as anyone else. This exactly. EAL has also been accused by myself (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1131063.msg11939583#msg11939583) and others (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=970157.0) of engaging in unethical activity on this forum, and was unable to provide a reasonable explanation. Many members of the forum staff are trustworthy but it is due to other reasons than them simply being staff. Note that in that second mentioned case: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=970157.0 it was proven that he was leaving his alt accounts (pandacoin etc) positive trust from EAL. If he was added to DT I would negative trust him. Title: Re: Why is EAL is moderator but not on DT?

Title: Re: Why is EAL is moderator but not on DT? Post by: ajareselde on August 07, 2015, 09:28:00 PM I don't see any reason why forum moderation, and DT listing should be linked. Sure, the staff should be deamed trusted by administration, but
in the end, they're here to clean the forum and prevent abuse, and they dont need to be on DT to do that . cheers |
