Since the last update we made some changes to user accounts to encourage people to express their opinion.
All users are split into 3 groups: Guests, Users and Link Owners
Guests
These are the users that non-registered on Hidden Reviews. They get no benefits from leaving comments.
Users
This is a group of registered accounts. Each User get 1000 RP and 1 Reputation Level after registration which are increasing with activity of a person. The higher the RP, the higher the account Reputation Level. Higher level also affects the power of rating left.
See the detailed reward table below.
Link Owners
Obviously, these accounts belong to link owners. To apply for this account the applicant must prove his link ownership. It is paid a option but for non-commercial websites like catalogues, forums, blogs and similar. These accounts also benefit from it’s activity on the platform.
Reward Table
| Rep. Points (RP) | Rep. Level (RL) | Comment Power |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1000-1999 | 1 | 2 |
| 2000-2999 | 2 | 3 |
| 3000-3999 | 3 | 4 |
| 4000-4999 | 4 | 5 |

There are no limits for the Reputation Level, you can get it as much as you can.
Each comment left grants RP. It is calculated by the following formula:
RP = 50 / RL
Example: 1 level users get 50 RP for each comment, 5 level users are rewarded with 10 RP and so on.
Comment Power means how strong is your rating and how it affects the final rating of the link. For example, one rating left by a user with 5 RL equals six ratings left by a guest.
We consider people with higher RL as more professional than guests so they know what they are talking about, that’s why their power is higher.
All account levels have unique design to make it more recognizable.
