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.
The more Reputation you earn, the more privileges you gain.
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.

Below is the list of Roles along with the Reputation points they require:

• Guest: 0 points
• User: 0 Points
• Scholar: 500 points
• Student: 1.000 points
• Photographer: 5.000 points
• Guru: 10.000 points and at least 10 published photos
• Master: 20.000 points and at least 20 published photos

How to convince the community that you know what you’re talking about?
