What is reputation?

Reputation points serve as a rough measure of how much the public community trusts you. Reputation points are only granted for activity in public projects. Private project activity does not change your reputation.

How does reputation work?

When an issue, wiki page, discussion, or answer is liked in a public project, the user who created that item will gain some points, which are called "reputation points".

For example, if you create an issue encountered by many users, the issue will be liked multiple times. Each like on an issue will generate 30 reputation points for you. If someone "unlikes" the issues, then 30 reputation points will be taken away from you.

A user can also gain reputation points when the user invites another person to join AquaClusters. The reputation points will be credited when the invited person creates an AquaClusters account via the invitation. The table below explains reputation point requirement for each type of like activity in a public project, and for user invitation.
