1) We already have a trusted award.
2) The award was used in the way you mentioned initially, but it caused too many problems.
3) it was decided that the award would only be given to people of our personal trust and not to people that are considered ''trusted'' based on their marketplace interactions.
I dont think it would create a monopoly, because it wouldn't even work.
Sadly such a long-term goal (1 year without scam reports) is something that would not improve our current or future marketplace, since people will only offer their services for as long as it's possible and then either stop, or exit scam. Such an award would be pointless if you have to work for 1 year just to get it. Nobody would qualify and it would just be useless work (not to mention, the fact that people who would qualify, might end up scamming either way)
No from me, and the trusted award generates more chaos than it brings more peace to the forum, all in all, it should be removed, but since it's not being actively used and no active members other than staff have it, it would not be necessary.
