why would i expect a random identity to be trusted by people who trust me, barring me signalling in some way that it's connected to me? ..well, i could follow it myself.. which would bump its credibility among people who trust me already. this seems exactly right to me.

a "legitimate" new user should pretty quickly get close to my personal web of trust, if that new user is acting in such a way that my network appreciates. and if they're not acting in a way i appreciate, then they're nearly indistinguishable from spam, or something like it. which is exactly what we're trying to avoid, no?
besides, i could always just disable my wot temporarily, and go right back to the state we're in now - and i'd see that new user.

i really can't understand the problem here..
