Other servers ignore your validation messages unless they add your validator to their Unique Node List (UNL). If your validator is included in a UNL, it is a _trusted_ validator and its proposals are considered in the consensus process by the servers that trust it. -Even if your validator isn't a _trusted_ validator, it stills plays an important role in the overall health of the network.
