Here's an example - because we want specifics:
In community A, web of trust is done by checking the identity via a photo Id and then signing the owner's key.
In community B, web of trust is done by being introduced by name, like Mickey Mouse and then signing the person's key.
Community C, those that sign anything and everything in the hope that their key is sign in reciprocation... I wouldn't be trusting the PGP web of trust beyond an immediate circle of people I know directly, and to go further PGP web of trust is limited in the scalability due to the lack of policies on how things should be handled...
