What else can I help you with?
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.
How do you increase trust points?
The best way - is by providing good-quality, accurate and informative answers. HOWEVER - it should be noted that trust points are in no way an indication of the accuracy of an answer. Anyone can award a trust point for any reason, therefore - they can be 'passed around' like currency between school-friends (which detracts from their meaning !)
Is it possible for someone - including the administrator - to take away your trust points for a valid reason?
At this point, trust points cannot, and will not, be removed by anybody for any reason.
Do you think it is unfair that a contributor can award themselves a trust point on WikiAnswers?
Answer 1:Yes.Answer 2:No. I would hope that any contributer would trust their own contributions! If not, why should anyone else?Besides, these trust points aren't actually "ranks", they just mean that someone liked one of your answers. It's not the infallible measure of integrity some might think.Also, have you seen how many hundreds and thousands of trust points those who've been around have? No one awarding themselves a single point is going to make any difference to their ultimate numbers. Only consistently good contributions can do that.(Full disclosure: Of the 51 trust points I've received in the past month, one of them was from myself. Therefore, you should only trust me fifty points worth, not fifty one!)
Joseph Wellington handled and answered the question in an appropriate manner?
If you see an answer that you believe is informative, accurate or amusing - and you think the contributor deserves recognition, you can award a trust-point. HOWEVER - trust-points are no indication that the person answering is actually qualified in the subject. Any answer should be verified with an external source to test its validity !
How do you know how many trust points you have on Answers.com?
You can see the number of trust points you have on your profile page. Go to "My profile" and in the Stats box you'll see the number of trust point you have. You can also see the number of trust point any other member has on Answers.com by viewing their profile page. The number of trust points also shows many times next to the username. For example Marcy[1000] means the user Marcy has currently 1000 trust points.
Why is it that on some contributor's boards you can not give any trust points?
These contributors are blocked from 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.
Can you give a person trust points if they have not answered a question but have helped you via messaging?
Yes. You can give trust-points to anyone for almost any reason. as long as that reason proved to be helpful to you in some way.
Do you earn money or points on here?
You don't earn money but you can earn trust points. Trust points on Answers.com are earned when other users recommend you because they like your contributions. These are not tradeable in any way, but are merely an indicator of how highly-rated a contributor is.
