Inclusion farming seems to be a plague in several cultural groups, but I don't know how we can mitigate the impact without alienating people. All I know is that the system is fubar right now. I reckon that's one of the reasons Tecshare insisted the feedback system be relegated to trades. I still don't think that's a good solution because there are a lot nuances in this forum that would make a trade-only feedback system insufficient.
ekiller gets selected into DT1 --> mhanbostanci and alpsea become DT2 --> all their fake retaliatory negs are now visible by default (coinlocket$ -1, marlboroza -2 etc.) --> someone else has to clean/fix that shit. You gotta love the DT1 lottery!
Pointless. This was discussed at length a year or two ago and most DT1 members didn't give a shit. Now this is happening pretty much every month and still no shit given whatsoever.
I think one of the reasons DT members don't care is because of the custom trust lists. It's kind of handy if you've been here for some time; I can go about my forum life with notes about goodguys and badguys that I encountered almost 4 years ago. I can also choose to display notes left by others whom I've come to know and trust. Nice!
But how does that help newbies? They show up in January of 2022 and find a trust system full of drama, retaliation, misinformation, and downright lies. Not so nice!
The lottery is broken, and needs adjustment. Or maybe it just needs to go away all together.
