Community standing

What is reputation?

Reputation (rep) is a member's long-term community score. It reflects how helpful and accurate someone has been over time. It is separate from a sale's confidence score: reputation may inform confidence, but confidence never increases reputation.

How you earn reputation

Small credit for proximity-backed actions, limited to 20 awarded points per rolling seven days by default.
Larger credit when hosted sales, contributions, reports, or status observations are later verified.
Double outcome credit for approved help on sales with sparse evidence or newer hosts.
Evidence maturity advances only from reviewed or corroborated outcomes, not raw activity.

Why it matters

Evidence weight: established, accurate contributors can provide more persuasive nearby status evidence, within configured caps.
Host credibility: the creator's rep appears on each sale so you can see who is behind the listing.
Messaging: confirmed accounts can message a nearby host. Rate limits keep spam down; paid plans will raise those caps later.
Verified Host badge: earned by hosts with a sustained record of accurate listings and positive community outcomes.

Fair play

Every scored event has a stable source, policy version, and audit record. Repeating the same action cannot create more credit, the rolling action allowance slows farming without imposing a lifetime ceiling, and overturned outcomes are reversed without deleting the original chain of custody. Confirmed repeat abuse can reduce weight or pause privileges.
