Most of us here are used to shenanigans.
Exactly. I greatly value transparency in FF programs, which is why I'm glad that DL has published criteria in advance for DM status, rather than the way that the old EP (white envelope) operated, or the way GS is done now.
However, I wouldn't object to some reasonable additional requirements for status levels along the lines of the leaked criteria that UA was supposedly going to implement.
