I you want it, don't talk about it.
If you think you 'deserve it' (with the common excuse of 'I've been playing for this long) then you really don't.
Even when they reject you, staff give you hints on how to get it. The biggest is to try and be social with the community. [That doesn't mean that you have to suck up to staff specifically either because they see everything you type in chat]
I personally have to ask why it's so important for you or any other member to be labeled as a Trusted. The only benefits are using buckets... (That and members who hated me before suddenly kiss my ass for no reason.) I respect Deekay's server and I really love playing on it. Yet, being trusted didn't matter much to me and was a bit of a pain anyway because Lissy had to be a butthole and give me a heart attack by pulling a prank on me.
To sum up all that- be yourself and play the game to play the game. Make friends and some crap like that. If you earn trusted than you do. Otherwise, not doing so and regularly asking about ranks is, like lissy, butthole-ish.
