Can you give a trust point to a user in exchange for the selfsame user giving one to you?
Trust Points - the Wrong Way vs the Right WaySure, you can. In fact that's the way some users get them. Those who spend hours on WikiAnswers and get trust points because they give great answers - or do other things to earn them - consider that to be cheating and don't think very highly of those who "earn" them that way. Regulars here know who is getting trust points because they deserve them and those who are making deals and collecting them like some kind of a prize. While those who earn the points are admired, those who don't are looked at very unfavorably. It can be compared to a star athlete who works hard and wins dozens of trophies, as opposed to someone who steals a bunch of trophies from a trophy store.Though people can cheat to get the trust points, we have our premiere and prestigious yearly awards that no one will win by cheating. They are our WAmmy Awards! You'll see the badges displayed on the profiles of the winners.When someone looks at a WAmmy winner, they know the user is one of the most respected, most admired, and most loved users on the site. No one who gets trust points through wheeling and dealing with others stands a chance of getting a WAmmy!We also have our AnswerThon Awards, which are equally prestigious to the WAmmys! When you run across a profile that sports an AnswerThon Award, you know you've found a true WikiAnswers winner - not only for the AnswerThon, but in every way!So, if you're one who makes deals for trust points, go ahead! Get your trust points any way you want. We'll keep the AnswerThon Awards and WAmmys, though! You can't make deals to get them!Our users share their opinions on how they view the bartering of trust points:If you have good contributions on WikiAnswers, other users will notice you and give you a trust point.No, this kind of behavior is not acceptable at all! In fact, it is actually frowned upon by our community of users: Trust points are not something to be bartered, but something to be earned.
