What has happened to ODT?

1. Law of Large Numbers
2. Selection Bias.
3. Improbability Principal

Smaller (older) forum attracted specific demographic. As the site grew it trended towards the population mean at large, which isn't as educated or timely as the original group of participants. This trend has been highlighted by:

A few negative, recent encounters have a greater mental weight than older positive encounters.

Low probability events (assuming that a "negative" experience is a low probability event compared to having a positive experience) are common. They also can and do cluster together which goes back to selection bias.

I have tried to give a few new guys the benefit of the doubt some have worked others didn’t. I stay away from new traders because of the few bad apples. I have had some guys ghost me and they were pretty solid members. Unfortunately rankings do not always equal traders of integrity. Negative feedback is now a no go for me even if it is only a few.

I think that's the same as most
