What are the numbers beside the usernames in WikiAnswers and why are some 1 or 5 or something and mine is zero. how do I advance mine?
The numbers beside the usernames are Trust Points. Trust Points are points given by other contributors who think a contributor has done an outstanding job on WikiAnswers. The amount of points is the amount of people who trust you and your contributions. There should be a 'recommend' button by your name if you made the last edit in an answer. You can recommend yourself once. To advance your Trust Points, just make high-quality answers and/or contributions to WikiAnswers and someone is bound to trust you.
Can you add trust points on other peoples answers?
You can't give answers trust points as such. You can give other people trust points, whose contributions you believe are worthwhile and legitimate. You can give trust points to a user by clicking Recommend below one of their answers, or on their profile, by clicking Recommend below their stats.
How do you award trust points?
Click the 'recommend' at the bottom of the answer block.
What can you do with Trust Points on WikiAnswers?
Actually nothing. Trust points are just an indicator of how trustworthy your contributions are. If someone feels your answer was good, he might recommend you, which would increase your trust by 1 point.Other perceptions of Trust Points:Most people like to have their efforts acknowledged, and I suppose that getting trust points motivates them to contribute more to WikiAnswers. It's an incentive scheme that adds to the quality of the site.
Does asking questions earn you trust points?
Trust pointsIn theory, asking questions can cause someone to recommend you through your profile, which gives you a trust point.In general, though, trust points are awarded by other users based on the quality of your contributions to answers.No user earns any trust points without another user recommending him or her. Just asking a question or contributing to the answer doesn't grant anybody a trust point.
How can you give trust points?
You can recommend a user by going to their profile, and clicking on the Recommend link in the right sidebar.
Why can you not recommend someone twice?
This is because if you can recommend people more than once, you can keep on doing it and there's no limits. Soon, everyone would have too much trust points and who knows if they actually deserve it?
