Is it trust system abuse to increase Trust Score by Dabs?

An absence of leadership ≠ proof of leadership.

Note that theymos still has Dabs on his Trust list.

So what? His trust list also includes those who support the war in Ukraine.

This is a clear sign that cleaning up the trust list is not a priority for him (I'm sure if he is reminded of this, he will update it).

Theymos is free to add / remove anyone in his trust list same as us. Just because he is the admin does not mean everything he does should be a guaranteed practice. Theymos never told us to follow him. In fact, he wants us to have our own inputs and changing the trust setting from old version to the new version reflects the idea. Before it was centralized and only selected few users were in the DT1 picked by the admin. The current trust algorithm is obviously better than we had it before.

One change might make it nearly perfect if we consider the proposal we have discussed on the topic created by DireWolfM14. We need at least more than one net inclusion. Higher number is better though. This will protect the DT spam we currently have and situations like Dabs inclusion can be avoided.

I think the point I was trying to make was lost: the forum's recommendation in Trust settings is to add "the users who you trust to have good trust ratings and good trust lists". I'm not saying we should copy theymos, I'm saying theymos' Trust list might need an update.

This make sense now. I was taking the first explanation and sure it was icopress too.

This is a discussion topic, not an accusation to Dabs.

Might as well be a reputation thread ...

It seems Dabs has done a runner with what seems like an outstanding non-collateral loan of $15,000 with lender darkstar_ and another non-collateral loan via zazarb more recently.
