Current Default Trust Network

[Blazed]

With all of the recent drama going on it got my thinking about the DT network and its members. How does everyone feel about the current level 1 members? Overall I think it is pretty decent, but should any of them be removed? Should some newer people be added? Obviously this will probably not change things, but figured it might be interesting!

Current Default Trust lvl 1 members:

theymos - obviously staying since it is his list and if you do not trust him why stay here
HostFat - not really sure how active he is, but probably good
dooglus - trusted guy - not sure I agree with all of his ratings recently, but legit
Maged - Not really sure on how active he is
dserrano5 - seems active and legit
OgNasty - obviously legit one of the most trusted here
Tomatocage - had 1 recent hiccup, but overall very trusted and good for the community
SaltySpitoon - Solid guy and very trusted
DeaDTerra - inactive and has led some questionable ventures
BadBear - obviously a solid member
philipma1957 - great addition to the list overall great guy and helpful
escrow.ms - solid guy and trusted
OldScammerTag - much needed for old scammer accounts

I think the network does work, but no matter what the system it will have issues...

People I think would be solid DT lvl 1 additions:

DannyHamilton - trustworthy and very good poster


People in DT lvl 2 that should be removed?

[tarsua]

well i think monbux should be added, he most be the most trusted person here not on DT
monbux trust summary
i also think vod should be in depth1

[Vod]

i also think vod should be in depth1

(blush) Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I would be useless in depth 1 - I wouldn't add anything to depth 2.  I keep my trust list at the default so I can judge overall community trust on members.

Monbux for LVL 2 would be solid...surprised he is not already?
Vod for LVL 1 would be solid also

[redsn0w]

I vote for monbux for being added in the depth2 DT and also devthedev.

[Athertle]

Personally, I was surprised that monbux wasn't on level 2 DT. He seems like a very trusted member on the forum.

My vote for Vod and shorena.  

Edit: To be promoted.

I think, before any shuffling in DT, following changes are required...

1. One person gaining multiple feedback from the same person needs to be abolished.

2. Any feedback from DT 1 or 2, without a proper reference, needs to be challenged and if the person can not provide proper link of the reference and his feedback, that person needs to be removed from DT 1 or 2.

3. This system needs to be immediately introduced - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914641.0.

Apart from this, I think, shorena, hilariousandco and DannyHammilton needs to be part of DT 1.

I vote for Benson.Samuel on DT level 1. I feel all MODs deserve to be in the DT list while except Vod and TC and the admins, I'm not sure about the others being added there.

I saw monbux wasn't on level 2 DT either a few weeks back and that was a little surprising due to his amount of trust. I haven't traded with him personally so I can't vouch for him being trustworthy, but he appears to have a huge amount of trades under his belt, and it doesn't look anyone has ever had any issues with him.

[ajareselde]

I don't think this is the kind of question that should be opened to everyone.
People will obviously vote for members that have given them +ive, pushing themselves into the DT list ...

I dont know this monbux guy either. But, as an user of bitcointalk++, I can see, he has probably the highest number of -ve feedback, not sure why.

[babaquara]

What about devthedev?

He has lots of trust and I don't know any dispute involving him, and he is not even in the level 2

Well some people might have motivation for that, but most do not. I am already in the DT2 from multiple people so I have no real motivation. The main goal was a discussion to help improve the list if needed.

i disagree, their ability to moderate and clean up the forum has no correlation to their ability to detect and tag suspicious users, nor does it mean they should automatically be trusted. take a look at the incident with EAL and the primedice giveaways for example.

Exactly...
Mods are here to moderate and that does not make them trustworthy.

First thanks for the mentions, but I think most here miss the point of level 1. As Vod said, beeing on level 1 is only beneficial to the community if you have solid people on your personal trust list. The ratings of those on level 1 matter the same as those on level 2, but whats more important is who they bring on the list with them.

Its the thought that counts, he has been an upstanding member of this forum

I was not referring to you, as i know that you are on DT.

This is exactly what i thought as well. If there is to be some new DT1 members, they should carefully review the ratings they left and also be careful about who they add to trust from that point on.

cheers

Their personal trust list is the most important part.
