Of course I'm an alt but no I'm not tagged or in the run to be DT.
This thread is 30 pages long of intimidation so I think it's wiser for me to use an alt. I'm just a regular member.
That doesn't mean my points can't be taken into consideration.
Why not put all this to a vote, a vote in which untagged members with at least a certain amount of earned merits (20,30,50...I don't know) would participate?
Theymos would give us a few options on how DTs should be picked and we would vote for the one we prefer.

I think this is too much change at once.
There are too many new faces as DTs, this will become a mess, there will be too much retaliation between people, too many tags given without thinking.
Look at this discussion. The fact that everyone's list is public brings a lot of drama.
But I suspect this is what Theymos wanted.

 I think the criterias should be much more selective.

DT1s :
-Should have earned at least 750 merits (number to raise with time)
-Should have an activity of at least 800
-Should be trusted by one of the admins

DT2s :
-Should have earned at least 500 merits
-Should have an activity of at least 800 as well (no newbies please, they have no idea of the responsibility this is)
-Sould be trusted by at least 2 DT1s

I understand that Theymos wants the merit criteria to be taken into account and I agree with that but the rest is way too subjective. The DTs should be established members who know this place and will take their job seriously, not new guys who will be on a power trip and tag everyone on sight.
