Reputation & Points System
The reputation system is the core gamification layer of QELT Hub. Every meaningful action earns points, which determine a user's rank, trust level, and capabilities on the platform.
Overview
The reputation system rewards active participation and quality contributions across all areas of QELT Hub. Points accumulate based on social engagement, chat activity, forum participation, and community involvement. Your final points are calculated using both trust and rank multipliers.
