Community Trust (Commons Trust) is your standing from participating thoughtfully across the site — helpful votes on community posts and replies, Suggestions, and reviews, plus a little credit for account age and Weekly Prompt participation.
What it does
- It can influence how much weight your story reviews carry when the public rating score is calculated.
- It shows on your profile as a trust signal — not as an RPG level.
What it is not
- Not Wanderer or Emberwright XP.
- Not Dedication on a story community name.
- Not Fan Score in Studio.
- Not something Embers or Wisps can buy.
Self-votes do not count. Trading reciprocal “you upvote me, I upvote you” pairs are dampened. Chapter comment upvotes are conversation feedback — they do not feed Trust.
