Just learned that I am now a DT2 member. Please advise

[Johny Depp]

May be you can check my trust feedback and leave them the same trust if you are convinced with the references.

I recently ended up sending 2 neg and 1 neutral trust comment for this person.

Am I being a little over the top? Please advise.

In that case or similar other case, I don't think you should left 3 feedback for each reason on the same date. You can combined all and just write on single comment. No need to send 3 feedback on same date. If the user attempt to scam again after few day or tomorrow then you can leave again. And as
The Pharmacist said try to use reference link especially once you leave negative.

Hey everybody. If I have a new "fan" sending me PMs, will I be able to ignore them by adding their name on my ignore list?

Never mind, I figured it out.  

For anyone else that wants to know, just select profile; then select personal message option, then just add your new "friend" to the ignore list.

it is very warming to see threads regarding people asking for feedback and guidelines on DT - much more progressive than the old draconian system and "what I say goes" attitude

     I'm a little curious about something. I have not engaged in any transactions using this forum. Therefore, I don't have any positive trust feedback that is trusted and wouldn't expect to have any. However, this zero trust appears to put my effectiveness at a disadvantage. If I find a member, who happens to be on DT1 or DT2, definitely doing something questionable and give them negative feedback, chances are pretty good that I will get retaliatory feedback. My trust score will then be red, and my reputation will be marred. I gather that I should just stand up and do what is right in that case and hope others agree and banish the person from the DT list next month. Correct?

It does not put you at a disadvantage when giving out negative ratings, no.

Correct. However, the chances that you will act alone against a DT member that does deserve negative feedback are very slim now. Usually you'd open a thread (if none exists) first to get inform others and get input first.

Thank you for the guidance. Without mentioning names at this point, there is one particular member that I have in mind. I guess that I better revisit my trust list and do the needed adjustment, since it's clear that if this member is coming to my mind, they have no business being on my list.

Since you're admittedly not trading then your score isn't going to matter much anyway. Abusive feedback would likely get countered and yes, banishment for the abuser is also a possibility.

Don't hold back because of someone's DT status. There is a bit of a quandary though if that person is your "sponsor" but in this particular case I'm not planning to do anything shady to put you in that situation

Fortunately, I have two sponsors.   However, the last time that I had a major disagreement with you was back in 2015, and you ended up helping me change my mind. (ie Bitstone.)

FML this DT1 expansion is eroding my control over my minions, how am I supposed to get to the hollowed-out volcano status?

Actually it's a good point. You're not really safe in DT2 unless you're included by 2-3 DT1 members and not just because you'd want to get into a fight with one of them but also because one of them could get kicked out by Russian rebels or smth.

Always glad to be of assistance.

Be honest for once suchmoony. Given the ever growing size of the Cult of Lauda, you are not really safe unless you have 10-15 inclusions.

I don't know why you are to much worried about tag some one if there is really something wrong. If there is nothing scam or abuse related then you should not leave feedback just for that you don't like them. If you don't like see someone on DT then reply on meta post and explain why you don't like. Probably he will be excluded by DT1 members. If you found something wrong about DT1 or DT2 then it would be better to open a thread on reputation so other DT will check the case.


On the other hand positive feedback is not required to fight with scammer. Even when I was not on DT I was fight with scammer and DT as well. If you fight legal way then you don't need to worry. Although you get tag, there will be counter tag by other DT. So don't worry during fight with obvious scammer.

To be honest most of old DT1 don't like inclusion new members. You can check trust list. Although I am included by 6 DT1 but there is only 1 is old. It's true I don't know much of them and they also don't know me. I have spent most of time on reputation and scam accusation. So usually most of conversation with suchmoon, Marlboroza,vod, LoyceV and The Pharmacist. Except this 5 I don't know much other since you was remove and Lutpin is inactive. So basically who don't know me they will never add. I am not expecting I will be on DT next month Lol..

     I was under the impression that suchmoon was one of the main disciples of the Cult of Lauda. I guess that I have much more to learn.

Most of them weren't exactly active and still have some very odd/inactive people on their lists.

Oh, but he is. He's just a bit confused sometimes.
