Sorry this didn’t get a reply. Must have missed it. I just want to leave my personal thoughts on the idea. There’s no real way for us to automate the assigning of badges for trustworthiness in regards to off forum trades and deals. So each admin would have to assign it themselves. I personally wouldn’t want to take the responsibility of deciding which accounts are trustworthy and applying some symbol of approval to it. Accounts can get hacked, people can become turncoats, and then the admins would be responsible if someone were to lower their guard and incur a loss because of it.
Discourse does have a “trust level” system which indicates four levels of trust. Users with higher levels of trust can perform more functions on the board. “Regular” is the highest trust level that can be attained by simply contributing to the forum. You can see the list of people below who have reached this level:

It’s not a big list. This is the best automated solution we have. Still there’s no way to truly verify the person behind the handle is trustworthy to make deals with, and I don’t think admins should start managing those kinds of approvals.
