Do you think it is unfair that a contributor can award themselves a trust point on WikiAnswers?

Answer 1:
Yes.
Answer 2:
No. I would hope that any contributer would trust their own contributions! If not, why should anyone else?
Besides, these trust points aren't actually "ranks", they just mean that someone liked one of your answers. It's not the infallible measure of integrity some might think.
Also, have you seen how many hundreds and thousands of trust points those who've been around have? No one awarding themselves a single point is going to make any difference to their ultimate numbers. Only consistently good contributions can do that.
(Full disclosure: Of the 51 trust points I've received in the past month, one of them was from myself. Therefore, you should only trust me fifty points worth, not fifty one!)
