Are you taking into account the fluctuations of 1,000 other users, based on when they were last refreshed?
More importantly, in this context, the formula for most trusted doesn't care about merit, earned or not. Plus, the 'most trusted' would definitely fluctuate each month with the DT1/2 random selection process which shuffles trusted feedback around and would change the scores.
I come back to this thread for a sequel of
my earlier post. I have to confirm what ibminer said above. However, I still have one question...
So as you know, theymos
made another reshuffle of DT members, on March 1st. By pure chance, I took a screenshot of my bpip profile before the reshuffle and one just after. Before the reshuffle I was in DT2 and after I reached back in DT1. Also have in mind that, during this time, my Trust score has not changed, nor my positions on "Most merit" and "Most earned merit" ladders (I received some merits between those pictures, yet I remained on same positions on both merit ladders). What I am trying to say is that, excepting the fact that I went back to DT1, nothing else changed (nothing which could have any implication on "Most trusted" and "Most recognized" ladders).
So the differences are the following:
Before the reshuffle:
After the reshuffle:
As you can see, there is a huge step forward on both "Most trusted" and "Most recognized" ladders. Last month, after the reshuffle, when I went to DT2 from DT1 I also noticed a huge difference on these ladders, but the huge step was back

Anyway, my question is the following: I understand that both of these ladders are influenced by the presence in DT1, respectively DT2; however, is it actually normal such a huge difference? There is a 69 positions difference on "Most recognized" ladder and 176 on "Most trusted"... I don't know but, from my perspective, this difference seems way too big to be natural...
ibminer, please don't take me wrong -- I am not questioning your algorithm here -- I posted all these just to ask if it would be a good idea to make a double-check, to ensure that all these scores are calculated correcly
