I don't think scores on the forehead are a good idea. It's objectifying people, as if any algorithm is going to be 100% precise in capturing the very contextual notion of trust.

But they don't have to be shown, they can simply be used to increase signal and decrease noise, magically, and in the background.
Web of Trust scores on profile photos in Amethyst are just the beginning. These signals will become foundational tools for helping users assess credibility, reduce spam, and navigate their social graph with more confidence. This is all part of creating your own algorithm. And it's only going to improve from here.
