Then I must inquire as to what determines a group of "trusted" players.

Now I will be blunt, and I will say what needs to be said. This is not flaming in my eyes, but statement pure, unbiased fact.

We shall use the popular Community Leader Centrix as our first example. He caught onto fame with the proposal of his "GameHelper" character some time between August and December of 2007. Does that mean he is trustable? He merely marketed his willingness to help, and was consequently rewarded with Cash Shop items that are unreleased, along with either the power to create or access high level characters on a whim. You must know his history to argue my point. I've known him quite a while, though he does not know this username. I was there when he was on GZF, which if you know his history, that is reasonably sufficient to cover.

Secondly, we shall use various rising celebrities as another point of interest. Users that are willing to volunteer their time are awarded half-staff privileges. Magazine publication staff are exempt from this example. For instance, the so-called "popular" users of each server (we shall omit names here) are always prevalent in shout conversations. This is a given, despite the annoyances they cause. Does that mean they are trustable as well? They have many people to affirm so, but being a shout spammer does not necessarily equate to trustworthiness.

To be honest, it's not necessary to even read that wall of text. The point is:

Who determines which players are the trustworthy ones?
