(Perhaps the vandal fighting tools could have access
to the scores
without their users having such access?)
Being a user of vandal fighting tools, I like that idea.

Agree - trust scores are likely to be divisive
and easily gamed. I
do not
think "trust score league tables" will help the project.
However as they are also good ways to spot problems and see the
"reliability
profile" of an article on review, perhaps some way might be found
to make
some of their results available, in some limited manner? Admin only??
Perhaps the trust scores could be released in the form of categories.
You can't find out an individuals actual score but you can find out if
they are "untrustworthy", "average" or "trustworthy" (with
dividing
lines that we have spent at least a gigabyte arguing over, of course).
I can't see any real use for the exact scores - the precision will be
so low that the rough categories are all you can conclude from them.
I'm not convinced there is sufficient use for even such categories,
though. They might be useful for prioritising recent changes in vandal
fighting tools, that's about it. (Perhaps the vandal fighting tools
could have access to the scores without their users having such
access?)
