How does a member get a d1 trust rating. I see that a lot of member have green true but only a few have d1 trust rating. I'm sorry if you think the is span but I have look all over forum and can't find any information on this will be a help thanks 

D1 is all the people Theymos trusts, if I'm not mistaken.  And all the people D1 folks gave positive trust to are then in D2 and so forth.  I got green trust because Vod very kindly gave me one, and he is in D2.  So basically I'm in D3 (I think), which is meaningless to most people, but I try to live up to it.

Edit:  And see, thank you Lutpin.  As you can see, I have no idea what I'm talking about and I thank you for the schooling. 

No. You have to be included in their trust list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust).
Whether or not you have received feedback from any D1 user does not matter.

Default trust depth 1 are all those people in the trustlist of the forum account DefaultTrust (including theymos).
You're right as far as theymos is (one of the users) managing this list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=122551).

No.

The vanilla setting for depth is 2, hence feedbacks from users on default trust (depth) 1 and default trust (depth) 2 show up as trusted and influence scores.

Well, you got one thing right - you're in D3 (although not because of Vod's green).

You can check where you are if you go to your trust page, click "Trust settings", scroll down and click "Hierarchical view". Set depth to a larger number if you want to see deeper, although depth 4 is probably gonna crash the crappy forum software.

There is a difference between my giving someone positive trust (which increases their trust score), and my sponsoring someone into DT3.

I currently do not have anyone sponsored into DT3.
