Because theymos believes it's not relevant there and shouldn't be relevant to discussion. It's not shown in Politics or this sub either.
I knew it didn't show up in one or two sections, but I'll be damned if I ever paid attention to the trust stats being missing.  I thought about it for a few minutes, and I'm of two minds about Theymos's decision to do that.  On the one hand, a positive or negative trust score could definitely influence how other members weigh the posts of the person with that trust, which could be very unfair in most cases.  That's being pretty damn fair, I'd say.

On the other hand, as we all know trust can be given for any reason and if a DT member tags an account for changing hands (*ahem*), that might be something you'd want to look into if you were curious when reading a post written by that account.  You could be thinking you're reading something by someone who's not who you think they are. 

And dammit, that's as far as my fatigued, pea brain got in cerebrating on the topic at hand.  If I had to weigh the points I made above I'd have to say it's better to keep it like it is.  The less unnecessary bias the better, I say.
