There are various ways in which you can give a trust point to a user:
- Click on the person's username, which will take you to their profile. Click on the "Recommend" thumbs-up icon on the right-hand side to give that user a trust point.
You can also see that user's other contributions, as well as anything they may have written about themselves on their profile, and, if you wish, you can leave a message on that user's message board.
- Underneath an answered question, you will see the following:
First answer by [username] Last edit by [username] Contributor trust: [number of existing trust points] Question popularity: [number of times the question has been recommended] [recommend question]
Click on [recommend contributor] to recommend the user for a job well done. If you find the answer helpful, well researched, well written (or if you merely like it), you can give this user a trust point.
If you click on the word "trust" you can read a bit more about the process.
Note:
You can only give a trust point to a contributor once.

What else can I help you with?
Can you give a user on WikiAnswers more than 1 trust point?
One Time OnlyNo, you cannot. You can only give each contributor one trust point.
How can you find out who gave you your trust points?
Trust your Trust PointsAt present, there is no way for you to determine who gave you a trust point, unless the contributor who did so informs you via your message board. An encouraging thing to do is to leave a message for the user to whom you give a trust point and to tell that user why you gave it. Most users are not only happy to receive the trust point, but also to get the message!
What does the number in parentheses next to my name mean on the message board?
The number in brackets after a user name represents the number of 'trust points' a user has accrued. You give a user a trust point when you click on the 'Recommend contributor' link underneath the answer.
How can you give or get trust points?
You can give a trust point on a question page by clicking 'recommend contributor' beside their username and current number of trust points. As well, you can give trust points on a user's bio page on the right side of the screen, under 'message user'. The best way to receive more trust points is by writing many quality answers.
Are you allowed to give yourself a trust point?
Every registered user has the option to give out 1 trust point to any registered user, Supervisor or CA.So yes, why not give yourself a pat on the back? You can actually do it 2 times, once when you are logged in and once when you are logged out. But no more, or that will be cheating. And it won't allow you to have more, either.
How can a user tell who has awarded them a Trust Point?
Currently there is no way to tell who has awarded you a Trust Point.

Either find one of your questions and click on recommend user. Or, go to your bio page and click on recommend.
Why doesn't WikiAnswers let you know who awarded you a trust point?
It does not matter who gave you a Trust Point; it has been discussed in the past to allow a user to view which answers they received a Trust Point for, but this is not yet programmed.
How come you have hardly any points when you give the best answers you can?
Sometimes users don't exactly view your answers right away, so hang in there, some user will give you a trust point!
Can you find out who gives you trust points?
Unfortunately, no. Unless the user messages you and tells you that they've given you a trust point.
When should you add to the trust of a wiki-answerer?
If the answer you received was helpful, or if you liked the answer you were given, then give them a trust point. Of course it's up to you, because you don't have to give a trust point.
What is an easy way to get trust points?
There are some few easy ways to get trust points. One way is to answer questions with good-quality answers. Another way is to give another user a trust point, then they may give you one. Another way is to join a program and do very well in them. Those are some of the easiest ways to get trust points.
