Reputation, reviews and levels

Reputation is DomBound’s core of trust. It is not a like or a popularity score: it summarises what you have done with the people you have been with.

How it is earned

By delivering, essentially:

• Submitting tasks and having them validated.
• Completing challenges and contributing checks.
• Sustaining chastity and having its checks validated.
• Receiving recommendations from people you have had a real dynamic with.

How it is lost

• Failing tasks, challenges or punishments.
• Voluntary release from a chastity period (interrupting it early).
• Moderation measures.

The categories rated

A recommendation is not a single loose star: it is rated across measurable categories, different depending on each person’s role:

Communication · Direction · Respect for limits · Punctuality · Delivery · Compliance

From those comes the 1 to 5 scale shown on profiles, which weighs on how you appear in Explore, on the wall and in challenges.

Why reviews only add

Because a reputation that can be destroyed out of revenge stops measuring behaviour and starts measuring conflicts. On DomBound a recommendation contributes more or less depending on the rating, but never subtracts. What subtracts are verifiable facts, not opinions.

Writing one, you will see the rule: be constructive. And the reminder that it is your recommendation after a real experience.

Levels

Your level gates what you can do to others:

• Level 1 — newly arrived.
• Level 2 — with a complete profile (photo, description and three or more preferences). Unlocks leaving reviews and validating checks.

It is a deliberate barrier against empty profiles: validating someone’s check or signing a review carries weight, and someone who has put nothing of themselves in does not have that weight yet.

Showing it or not

Under My account → Reputation you can switch «Show my reputation» on or off. It is always calculated; what you decide is whether it appears on your public profile.
