But if the forum is in such bad shape, perhaps following your source's suggestion is the best thing to do:
If you're active there, build your own trust list, avoid default reliance on DT, and treat it as one noisy source among many in crypto. Alternatives like Reddit subs, Discord, or newer forums exist for less gatekept discussion.
Create your own list of trusted people and ignore the others.
Perhaps Reddit, Discord, and other forums are better.
The system created is brilliant. Those abusing it kill its usefulness. Taking my case.
1. A poster asks me to post in scam accusations so I post.
2. Nutildah lies and says that no one asked me to post.
3. Nutildah gives me negative trust.
4. Nutildah created a flag.
