I encourage anyone to create their own custom Trust list!
Last time, I found some irregularities, without even looking for it. DT1 was updated today. I will no longer overwrite the list below, and start a new list with the new DT1 members. See the last page of this topic for the latest list of DT1 and DT2 members. This overview should make it easier to spot if someone with red trust ends up on DT. There is currently 1 banned user on DT1, and there are 6 banned users on DT2.DT 1 (updated June 8, sorted by userID) (see the last page for updates!) 1. 35: theymos ( Trust: 212: -0 / +22) ( DT1! (50) 4738 Merit earned) ( Trust list) ( BPIP) 2. 11425: gmaxwell ( Trust: 140: -0 / +14) ( DT1! (26) 1278 Merit earned) ( Trust list) ( BPIP) 3. 18312: phantastisch ( Trust: 120: -0 / +12) ( DT1!

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

What was the number of DT2 members before introducing changes to the trust system? I am surprised to see myself on the list.

I only now see this topic made Maggiordome notify 30 users  Pretty sure there were a LOT less people on DT2 back then. I only found out about Maggiordomo by accident a few weeks ago. Love it!

100-ish is a number that I recall for some reason. We're now approaching that many in DT1. Inflation.

Small question and suggestion: - I look back and forth but I don't know which indicator you use to sort out DT2 member list. It is not sorted out based on ID numbers, or total trust points. Please explain why you sorted DT2 member list liked this? - It might be good if you can make a list of only DT2 member whom did not earn a signed merit so far, rather than a mixture like current list. It is ridiculous when a real DT2 member has not been able to earn a single merit so far, especially if still being actively in the forum last year. - In my opinion, a threshold at 25 merit over last year is minimum one to judge quality of DT2 member. The threshold should be higher, 50 or 100. I would prefer to choose the threshold at 100 earned merits.

Wow, I don't even recognize most of those DT2 members, and I don't think I'd ever seen a list of them since all the new DT1 members were added. Here's hoping they're actually trustworthy, realize the responsibility that being on DT entails, and leave feedback responsibly. They can obviously be voted off DT2 if there's a good reason, but with that many members it could be a pain in the ass keeping tabs on how their DT "performance" is. Thanks for the excellent compilation as always, LoyceV. We're now approaching that many in DT1. Inflation.
Yep, there are definitely a lot but the list doesn't look too bad to me. At least there aren't any members that caught my attention as possible problems--but time will tell.

- I look back and forth but I don't know which indicator you use to sort out DT2 member list. It is not sorted out based on ID numbers, or total trust points. Please explain why you sorted DT2 member list liked this? It's sorted based on the highest ranked DT1's trust list in which they appear. The DT1s are sorted based on account age. The first 34 entries are all included on theymos' trust list. The next 32 (from 35 - 66) are on gmaxwell's trust list. The next 17 (67 - 83) are on phantastisch's trust list. And so on. It obviously doesn't display duplicates. It also doesn't matter if a user is trusted or distrusted by the DT1 member in question - if they are anywhere on their trust list, they will be grouped under that user. For example, Gavin Andresen is number 36, under gmaxwell's group, despite being excluded by gmaxwell. In short, it's most likely just the way LoyceV's script collected the data. It's totally arbitrary and means nothing. - In my opinion, a threshold at 25 merit over last year is minimum one to judge quality of DT2 member. The threshold should be higher, 50 or 100. I would prefer to choose the threshold at 100 earned merits. This is too high considering the threshold for DT1 is only 10 merit. I think either 10 for both, or perhaps 25 or 50 for DT1 and 10 for DT2 would be reasonable.

For example, Gavin Andresen is number 36, under gmaxwell's group, despite being excluded by gmaxwell. Thanks, I hadn't looked into it, but this makes a lot of sense. I'll quote you in the OP. I edited your quote, do you agree?In short, it's most likely just the way LoyceV's script collected the data. It's totally arbitrary and means nothing. Correct, I wrote that in the OP: I used the same order as used on Trust settings, I'm not sure what it's based on. - In my opinion, a threshold at 25 merit over last year is minimum one to judge quality of DT2 member. The threshold should be higher, 50 or 100. I would prefer to choose the threshold at 100 earned merits. This is too high considering the threshold for DT1 is only 10 merit. I think either 10 for both, or perhaps 25 or 50 for DT1 and 10 for DT2 would be reasonable. I'd say 2 inclusions from DT2 would help a lot. DT1 needs at least 10 votes from users with earned Merit, so 2 votes from DT1 isn't that much to ask for. - It might be good if you can make a list of only DT2 member whom did not earn a signed merit so far, rather than a mixture like current list. It is ridiculous when a real DT2 member has not been able to earn a single merit so far, especially if still being actively in the forum last year. Wait for it.........

I edited your quote, do you agree? Yeah, that makes it more obvious than the way I phrased it. Quote away.  I'd say 2 inclusions from DT2 would help a lot. DT1 needs at least 10 votes from users with earned Merit, so 2 votes from DT1 isn't that much to ask for. Agreed, but I think the merit requirement is appropriate as well. Since both DT1 and DT2 ratings appear exactly the same if you are using default trust, I think the same minimum merit requirement (and a similar not-inactive requirement) needed for DT1 should also apply to DT2. Minimum of 10 earned merit and a minimum of 2 inclusions from DT1.

- It might be good if you can make a list of only DT2 member whom did not earn a signed merit so far, rather than a mixture like current list. It is ridiculous when a real DT2 member has not been able to earn a single merit so far, especially if still being actively in the forum last year.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions and judge a DT member just because he/she haven't earned any merits so far. After all our trust is mostly based in transactions being done within the forum not by the quality of our posts here, what will make it wrong though is if we just make high merit earners a DT member just because of the post quality they have. DT members such as Carra23, ndnh, Eodguy149, and devthedev have been active in the forum in terms of running campaigns, buying/selling in the market place, buying cryptocurrencies with Paypal, and doing escrows all of them have 0 merits but they are trusted because of the successful transactions they have made. So I hope before you get suspicious at them having 0 merits just look at their trust summary before you judge them.

Having merit means you have made “good” posts, while being on DT means you can generally be trusted, specifically to give good/fair/appropriate ratings. Or at least this is what these should mean. I met someone a year or two ago who created his account *solely* to trade with others in the forum and that is quite literally all he did (I assume he also read some threads). He created his account, got locked out, and created an alt account to recover his first one, and his second account had total active time of several days and had a fair amount of positive trust from trades done on the second account. I believe I met him prior to the merit system being implemented, however he would obviously have no merit (he had zero posts) but appeared to be generally trustworthy. ETA - it was this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=515678 and his first account was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406863

I just got disturbed a little on why tranthidung got suspicious about a lot of DT members not having merits. Yes maybe detecting unworthy DT members who have slipped through the cracks by looking at their merits might be a start but criticizing them solely because of not receiving or having any merits at all is an entirely wrong way to look at DT members and the DT system as a whole.

Ah, you are right, fella. I meant it is one of indicators to point out potential 'fake'/ low quality DT2 members, it is a start, like you said. I meant if a real quality users have still been actively posting in the forum last year. It is abnormal to see them even have not received a single merit, or every limited merits. DT members, somehow, are high quality posters, compared to average users in the forum. So, they should received merits more than average users, or at least at acceptable rates. Even they are more actively in collectibles, they can get easily get merits from such areas. Merits are not scarce.
I actually did not misunderstand the terms and roles between Trust and Merit.
