Dale, Try help out without placeing water as a starting point what i did is i helped out around Asking "Does anyone need help Building or Mineing" Also get well known with Moderators + Then you will get a good rep and Maybe a Moderator + will recommend you.
I hope this helped you out with trying to get trusted, And i thought i'd say Moderator is a different Application (Even tho there is no Application for trusted)
