There is one newbie on the list.
deftnerd. IRL Adam Brown.
He has only 8 posts, no merit. Last time he logged was on October 09, 2017. But he received a lot of green trusts from his
topic, where he sold steam codesConsider that as an exception.
Even the most carefully designed algorithm will pick some of such users based on some particular activity or advantage associated with that member. Him getting lot of trsut through the way you mentioned strengthens the fact why one should not judge a member only based on trust.
