Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

We already have one, although it is called "trust rating."
It is what your title is based on. It could be used for other things, but we haven't bothered. And before you ask - it is a VERY good predictor of how much we trust the person in question to not be a bad apple, so to speak. I know this because the trust system was enabled a while before the titles were added, and observation bore out, with few exceptions, that it was a good algorithim. Additionally, it was self correcting - a trusted user acting badly lost his trust upon being banned or warned, so any outliers were quickly dealt with, by design.
My trust rating is 9142 at the moment. Only superusers can see the numbers. Not even mods can see them. They're useless in their raw form, so you won't get to see them. The rating is calculated automatically, based on your actions on the site. You lose trust for having bans/warnings as well as being inactive. Bans/warnings also leave an extended "mark" on you that fades away over time - the longer the ban, the longer it takes after the ban is over for your trust rating to recover (we're talking months, not weeks).
This would explain why I am Legendary even though I got banned a bit more than I should have when I first joined up.
