A bulls eye on your back is what it is. "Prestige" of being trolled relentlessly, particularly if you happen to have an opinion and not just sit quietly hugging the DT1 badge
If you are actively defending the wrongdoing, constantly working to protect the innocents from the bad guys, working hard to keep the community safe you will be picked by those who are not getting benefit from it or is not able to walk away freely because of you. They will troll you and will do whatever they can to stop you. Being in the DT1 or DT2 network is not a matter for them.
Point is, trolls will troll you, haters will hate you even when you are not doing anything, your position does not matter for them.
That is clearly a possibility but I have seen conclusive proof of the opposite taking place.
For instance a prolific and huge scam hunter, no evidence of any financial wrongdoing ever, always fighting for fairness and equality was punished by proven scammers on DT1 for whistleblowing on them and this was sanctioned and supported by many other DT1 scammmer supporters. The majority of Dt1 that frequently post on meta (a couple of exceptions) are untrustworthy and have all run away from answering questions on some of the scamming, scammer protecting and willful scam facilitating for pay or trust abuse or lying about financially related wrongdoing.
If I am not mistaken the same proven scammer that you teamed up with to conduct your " charity work" is perhaps one of the most untrustworthy members here. So I'll take your word with a bag of salt as I prefer to watch peoples actions rather than listen to their words.
So I wouldn't try to reinforce the false and misleading claim that being on DT1 is any kind of reference or guarantee of honesty or constantly working to make the " community safe ". The only important thing I can say about being on DT1 is that it appears to work like a honey pot for the most driven, greedy and untrustworthy. (based on my research on meta and rep in recent times)
I would say there is much evidence to suggest that DT1 is a racket where many collude to ensure they can spam the highest paying sigs and crush the competitors of their sponsors or own projects.
This thread is full of provable mistakes, willful misleading and deliberately ignoring independently verifiable evidence that refutes their claims.
Jetcash and most people ( not all) on this thread are certainly not suitable for positions of trust.
They are either willing and deliberate scammer protectors, or willing to support a system they know is corrupt and broken or just willing to look the other way.
The merit and trust systems here are dangerous. Those promugating the notion that DT1 is an important metric or some kind of reference or guarantee they are trustworthy is a certainly a troll.
Again if any part of this post can be refuted or you require a further drill down on any point I've made here whatsoever they can request and I will provide evidence that you can verify for yourself.
The only sensible post is from actmyname. I would say only that he is overly optimistic certainly he should change meritorious with merited and is debatable with proven to be untrue after many debates.
Also the intention to decentralize does not really mean it is successful or advantageous or that 10 other users have really been chosen it is could be now a lot of socks or is going to be a lot of socks.
Also is something really decentralized if one person designs it and enforces the very lax rules?
Was the DT1 more trustworthy in it's old form?
I think that although some went rogue there are many more holes and more subtle or insidious dangers with the current systems by far.
Still compared to the other posts it was more realistic aka far nearer the truth and far less misleading than the rest.
Even the post from ieoeoe has some value. I hope he's okay.
