People who have like 75 perfect trades should get a special emblem by their user name or something.

Just put "great trader" as your title.
I'm just kidding. I support this.

this has been proposed just about a month ago by total, and I'm sure it's not the first time this idea makes it to the forums.
my opinion:

So we have a Trusted Cultivator/Id'er, whats up with a "Trusted Trader" tag?!
A few of us have an excelent trading record, with 50+ 5 shroom ratings...
Would be something flashy for us....
I def want mine! 
I respect the idea, but IMHO it isn't viable, mainly because we should have to arbitrarly choose how many +5 trades define a "trusted trader", also some people proved to be able screwing up even after building some trade rep. in the dozens +5 range and nothing would impede an always-been good member to start taking advantage when things go bad in their life, or again having one's own account hacked either by simple shoulder surfing or advanced hijacking.
to cut it short, it would just create a false sense of security/approval in a subject where only one's own personal feelings are the gauge.
a 50+ badge, if it's the shiny eye-catching thing you're looking for, on the other hand, may be cool to some people.

I do see where your coming from on the not viable front but these tactics are implements on almost all sites offering services within the SEO world pretty much as standard and if you generalize things look at eBay even Amazon have top sellers and similar.
I've found from running various sites websites usually earning via promotion/commission standard affiliate programs etc but when it came to working on some of the forums where sales took place the reputation system worked wonders it allow sellers to work to a point where they weren't trusted but known for being trustworthy etc but then if they started getting bad reps for bad trades this would go and of course you can see back through all there feedback from previous sales pretty much the same as on eBay and I am still a strong believer in judging sellers on feedback.
I have never ever lost out, been scammed conned on eBay or buying online ever.
Still someone has to put the work in to put a system like this in place once its there its done but website work is never free and even with the skills can take time once you work out bugs etc
