Most trusted users are people that have offered lots of advice to others. Many users asking for advice followed and valued the advice responses provided by the most trusted users.
Each time a you respond to a shouldi and the user who originally created the shouldi tells us what they actually did, we learn whether your advice was trusted and followed. The more times your advice is followed by another user, the higher your trust rating with that user becomes. If you have a high trust rating with lots of users, then you become a world's most trusted user.
Be active and give good advice to many people. The more your advice is followed, the more trusted you become. It's that simple.
The number of gold stars beside each trusted user name indicates their trust rating across the whole shouldi community. More gold stars indicates a higher overall trust rating.
There are two percentages listed:
-who is listening to you?
This shows how much of the time people actually do what you advised them to do. If you offered someone 10 pieces of adive and they did what you said 8 times, then you are trusted 80% of the time. The higher percentages mean that these users followed your advice more often than not.
