I can't honestly vote in here. There are so many things that combine to earn trust and respect, that one thing can not sum that up.
Personally, for me, I feel that caring is the single most important factor in earning respect. Being a team player would fall in second for me.
I earn respect in real life by following these things, and my teachers agree. Most of my peers don't feel these things earn respect, but I am on a "higher thinking level" than the most of them. I have many friends, but am only truly highly respected by few. These people who respect me don't really care much about the little problems, and see the bigger picture. These are the people I can truly respect with all my heart.

I personally don't think respect takes years to be earned. That's trust. It's hard to trust someone unless you've known them for years and they show good qualities.
I voted "null" for this one. It's different for everyone. Not everyone respects people for friendliness, and not everyone respects people for uniqueness.
Let me first give you my opinion on each of the choices. . .
Length in SeeD/CurvedSpace- This shows that you know a good deal about SeeD because of your time here.
Posts- This shows that you're active in SeeD and that you're open-minded; you like to give opinion on many things.
Acknowledgement- This goes along with friendliness. This shows that you enjoy talking with people and don't ignore them.
Events- This shows generosity and desire to hang out with others.
Good Deeds- Shows generosity and dedication to be a good SeeD.
Friendliness- This shows that you enjoy to talk with others and don't openly dislike people (and simply like most people).
Uniqueness- With this quality people will be interested in you and want to view your opinions and talk with you.
Level (Runescape)- This shows your power, experience, and skill in the game (which SeeD is partly based on).
Activity- Shows your dedication to SeeD and desire to be here with everyone.
Everyone looks for certain qualities in people though. If you wish to gain respect from someone, you need to find out what qualities in people they respect. You should of course be yourself though. If you're not respected if you be who you are, then this might not be the place for you. You should be able to find people here who respect you for who you are though.
Trying to have certain qualities to gain respect from a bunch of people is very difficult to do and probably wouldn't work out if you're trying to have many qualities to pelase many people. Some of those people may not like a quality you're trying to gain to attain respect from some other people. So just choose a qualitity that is most important to you aqnd will gain the most respect. It's better to be yourself though.
People that act themselves all have a special quality. . .courage. It takes a lot sometimes to be yourself. You're afraid people won't accept you for you. There's a high chance people will respect if you act yourself because they'll see your courage.
And anyways, you'll probably be unique if you act yourself because you won't have one of the qualities amny others try to have.

@BigBro
Believe me... being "unique in (your) own suicidal depressed flaming conflict-starting way." is not unique at all... as far as i've seen around here and other places, it isn't unique.
You're being yourself, theres a difference.. not changing for anyone, anytime. That in itself is respectable... but, you need to add Tact to that mix.

Activity, nobody knows who the hell I am if I am not. And, I dont gain respect here, I just want people to know I am here.
EDIT:
@Bigbro
Well, I dont think many people find killing yourself and being so depressed is very interesting, its just a way to gain attention. I am not going against you, just telling you why people dont seem to interact with you alot, or respect you. You need to find the answers within yourself and quit wondering why in the hell nobody respects you.

I think you earn respect with how you act towards others, if you just act mean and nasty towards everyone, people probably won't respect you. So I'm going towards friendliness on this one.

Respect is something that one must earn, and all people have the right to distribute conditionally. People that have not earned any respect will generally not be respected.
As for why people choose to respect others around here, I think the primary factors are devotion, competence, fairness, and charisma. One who is devoted to and competent in their duties, and does those duties fairly tends to gain the respect of others much more quickly. Being friendly to others is also important, but of less importance than duty to gaining respect.
Not everyone gets respect around here. Not everyone deserves it. People should not unconditionally expect people to respect them when they have done nothing to deserve such respect.
