What is Reputation?

Reputation is how we measure the trust our community has in you.
It’s earned by convincing your peers that you know what you’re talking about.
We don’t run this site: the community does!

What are roles?

Your Reputation depends on your Role, and it's measured by points.
New joiners start with 0 Reputation points. As you earn Reputation points, your Role improves.
