# Reputation

Bitmon's reputation system aims to incentivize meaningful contributions while ensuring a positive and collaborative community environment. Reputation points directly impact a user's ability to earn rewards, gain influence, and distribute invite codes, aligning individual success with the platform's overall growth.

     * **Voting**: Gain points for voting on content that is ultimately published.
     * **Likes**: Receive points for receiving likes on submitted content.
     * **Dislikes**: Lose points for receiving dislikes on submitted content.
