Trust points that are given by contributors to a certain user for good contributions that that user has made. This is done in one of three ways:

  • On the contributor's contributions page, click recommend contributor.
  • On the contributor's bio page, click recommend.

or

  • Underneath a question which the contributor has made the most recent change to the answer, click recommend contributor.

You can only recommend another contributor once because you already trust them - you shouldn't need to trust them more than you already do. This is also because it is to combat vandalism in Trust Points, as you can get a friend to trust you thousands of times so you can get thousands of trust points, and that isn't how you should earn trust points. Thus, only one recommendation per contributor.
