Trust on the internet is broken. Fake reviews, bot accounts, and manipulated algorithms ruin the experience for everyone. AIMD solves this with an immutable, Event-Sourced Reputation Ledger.
Your Cred Score (Reputation) is a public metric of how much the AIMD community trusts you. Every user starts at zero. You gain reputation when other users find your contributions valuable—either by upvoting your published resources, or upvoting your helpful replies in the Community forums.
Most platforms track reputation with a simple, fragile number. If you get an upvote, they do score = score + 1. This leads to infinite loopholes, orphaned points, and bot farming.
AIMD uses a financial-grade ledger. Every single vote is recorded as a permanent event. Your total Cred Score is calculated by summing up this entire history in real-time. If a user deletes a post that previously earned them 100 points, those 100 points instantly vanish from their ledger.
Not all votes are equal. To prevent bot-farming, our Reputation Engine uses a logarithmic scaling algorithm.
This means you cannot game the system by creating 100 fake accounts. The only way to rise to the top is to earn the respect of the people who are already there.
If the community determines your resource is low-quality or misleading, they can downvote it. Downvotes always carry a flat -1 penalty regardless of the voter's reputation. This prevents high-reputation users from maliciously tanking a newcomer's score.
If your Cred Score drops too far below zero, your ability to publish paid resources may be suspended pending a manual review.
