Best thing to do is to play a few rounds as a randomname or make a one-off character, you'll get a lot of insight into how people act around unknown faces and be able to better welcome people and help fight this.
I was unaware of how present metatrust can be until I had a few incidents were people showed absurd favour to me when they really shouldn't have or when I was playing a one-off character. Most notable example was a few years back. Somebody walked over the brain of a dead borg without giving it to robotics - They weren't rogue or anything so there was no reason not to. I mentioned this was a shame post-round that people would just walk over stuff like that in plain view. Got a response from them saying 'That was you?? I would've brought it back if I knew it was!'
