I'm pretty sure trusted users will be recognizable since receiving moderator-level powers is part of the whole trust system. I don't know if you'll be able to see the "trust level" of any user though. I hope not, otherwise it might just turn into another score like Reddit's karma.
Yeah, I had similar thoughts about this earlier today. Maybe something like a flair that shows up once the "moderation powers" threshold is reached? Like, if I'm trusted on ~comp, my username...

I think that would be a bad idea, because it could lead to people only paying attention to comments made by flaired people. I think it would be better if people with moderation powers are only shown as having them when they perform an action.
Ah, true, it could feed into a power-user issue. Maybe only showing up in the moderation log? Also, I think there is the idea that moderation can be automated and that any "moderation actions"...

Also, I think there is the idea that moderation can be automated and that any "moderation actions" become decoupled from individual users. Then there may not need to be any display of who's trusted and who's not, and only The Algorithm would know

Still you would still be able to tell trusted users apart just from the way they interact with the community. They'll have to be an active member of the community, so there's a good chance their name will already be known. On top of that, they'll probably lead meta discussions, organize events/mega threads/whatever else the specific tilde does.
I think it's unavoidable that trusted users will be recognizable, but I don't see that as a problem. As long as the "trust score" itself isn't visible (it would just become Reddit karma 2.0 otherwise) I'm okay with that. That's part of community interactions.
I don't trust you enough to tell you.
I'm curious to see if there will be a way to visually distinguish "trusted" users in a thread from newer, untested users or if it will all be blind.
