Does having trust points have anything to do with giving trust points?
Guineagirl96
It sort of depends what you mean. You can get trust points from people that you have given them to, but most are given at random and you never have an idea who gives them to you. The people with many trust points that I have given trust points to never knew, unless I told them and then sometimes they would give me one also. The PC answer is that you get trust points from answering questions, But I suspect the greeters get quite a few from the people that are new when they receive a welcome message from the greeters. I know I gave my greeter a trust point even before I gave myself one. However to answer your question you could give trust points to every contributor you see the link for and never get one back. After you have given a trust point to a contributor the link changes to send message because you can only give each contributor a trust once. That is the only way anyone can tell for sure if you gave someone a trust point and only you can see that your link has changed. There are no rules against letting someone know that you gave them a trust point and if you let them know the reason you may find that many people will also give you a trust point back. Some reasons could be I liked your answer to " ??? " question, or I noticed all your contributions to the site, or I noticed ??? about your bio page. That is probably the only method that giving trust points can also get you trust points. Now if you were asking if you need points to be able to give them you don't need any trust points to be able to give hundreds or even thousands. The only thing necessary to give trust points is that you click on the link to recommend contributor.

Do trust points count as contributions on WikiAnswers?
No, neither giving nor receiving trust points count as contributions.
How do you make more trust points?
On the Wiki Answers website, trust points are earned by giving good answers. Members then leave one trust point for writers that they think deserve it.
Why doesn't giving a trust point count as a contribution if you are still doing something for the site?
Giving a Trust Point does not make any significant contribution to the site, as giving an answer or editing a question does. If that were the case, members could easily give out Trust Points to gain contribution points, which defeats the whole object.
