No, it uses many multiple combinations of metrics from your activity on the site. Each metric is then given different weights and add or subtracted from the total score depending on if it is a positive or negative metric. Bans/warnings are a big negative, although different lengths of bans are weighted differently, and the length of time they affect your score varies as well.
But no, I'm not telling you how it is calculated. You don't need to know, because it doesn't matter. Not even the mods can see your score. This score has been calculated for everyone for over a year, it is well established, and is fairly accurate. Enough for these kinds of positive reinforcement rewards, anyway.
You're getting pretty bent out of shape over this. Any particular reason? None of the titles are negative, and the vast majority of the membership is still "Member." I'm aware of the quality over quantity arguement, but given that you can't boost this rating, and giving the general quality level of a lot of posts here right now, you can't really tell me that this, of all things, is going to hurt post quality. The people with the titles are the positive members. If a positive member does something negative, their title drops. In the end, it is really not that meaningful, but it does provide a nice little perk to those people who are the duplicate account creating spammers that this site is often known for.

People are so slow, the entire system is based on trust, which is awarded either by post count, or join date, then dropped by reports, bans, etc. This means at root people who either post a lot, or have been here a while are rewarded, not based on the content of their post, but instead by the quantity, or join date. I'm sorry if I favor quality over quantity. Look at foman, I dont think there are many more "trusted" members, hell he ran ARG, yet he isnt even a heroic member. I have a feeling join dates play a BIG part in the trust rating.
So achronos, why dont you tell us what makes up that trust rating?
