How can someone get a trust point before they have even made one contribution?
Jute
You can vote a trust point for yourself! Which means you can vote without any reason. And there is no reason that someone can't vote for a friend whether they have answered a question or not.

Does giving someone a trust point count as a contribution?
No, it does not.
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.
If you award someone a trust point is it possible to take that trust point back?
No, You CannotOnce you give someone a trust point, you have permanently done so. As of now, it is not possible to take back trust points. However, this may change in the future.
Is there a way to tell which of your contributions were recommended and earned you trust points?
Unless the person tells you which question they gave you the point for, there is currently no way to tell which contribution earned you the trust point.
How do you know someone gave you a trust point on WikiAnswers?
When you register on WikiAnswers you submit your email. When you receive a trust point, you also receive an email stating that you have received a trust point. The username or IP address who gave you the trust point will not be included however. You can also look on your profile page and see the trust point count.
How do you know if you get a trust point?
You do not specifically receive an alert when someone gives you a trust point. However, you can see how many trust points you have if you look on your bio page, in the Stats box on the top-right of the page.
What does you've recommended mean on your profile?
If you mean you've had an email that says 'You've been recommended' - it simply means that someone found your contribution interesting, stimulating or funny enough to award you a 'trust point'. Your trust points will show on the right of your profile - in the 'Stats' box - and also next to your username when you answer a question. Remember, though trust points are not an indication of the accuracy of an answer !
Can you give someone a trust point for asking a good question?
Although Trust Points are intended to be for outstanding answers, you can award a contributor a Trust Point for asking a good question, or any other community activity.
What status are you depending on your contribution points?
Contribution points are simply an indication of how active a user is. Some people contribute to this site much more than others. Every time you answer, edit or comment on a question, it counts as a contribution point. If you click your username (top left of the screen) it will show a summary of your contributions. Trust points are a different subject. Trust points are awarded by people who found your contribution useful, informative or positive (and sometimes amusing !) - Trust points are not an indication of a contributors qualifications though.
If Trust Points and Contribution Points have no value then what is the point of either?
Both Contribution and Trust Points are very valuable for easily seeing which members of the community are more experienced and trusted. It is also a nice way to award those that contribute to the site with various badges and awards for reaching certain levels.
What does TP added mean?
It means that you added a "trust point". It means that you have recommended someone.
How do you stop struggling with trust points?
Why would you struggle with them? You either give people a trust point or you don't. If someone has provided an answer that you feel is good, give them a trust point. Otherwise, don't give them one. You either get them or you don't. If you provide an answer that someone thinks is trustworthy and helps them out, they may click the button to give you a trust point. If they just needed the answer and don't care where it came from, you probably won't get one.
