I think that users should be able to endorse other users (creating a web) and then users not in this web could be labeled "untrusted". For this to work you would have to be able to tell why a user is trusted so the names of endorsements would have to be public. This might also be overkill for poal at the current size, but if we got to 10k users or something it would be pretty nice to know who is vouched for my people i trust, and if i have a legit good conversation with someone i could mark them as trusted.

This isn't a "count" of how trusted someone is. If someone trusts someone bad (you see shit contributions that are trusted) then you don't trust them anymore. It is no different than mods, except that you get to pick who you trust.

Do you have code for this that I can see? The devil is in the details.

Sorry, i'm a little off today, so this could be wrong, but you get the idea. This would just be for the check, the actual code would have to return the paths that get to a positive result.

def is_trusted(username, trusted_list):
    for trusted in trusted_list:
        if username == trusted:
            return True
        if is_trusted(username, get_trusted_list(trusted)):
            return True
    return False
