We have decided not to continue the Earth.org website. This is a demo version – and if you want to take it forward – please feel free to ask us for the code, which is open. Thank you for visiting.

What are Karma Points?

Karma points reflect your contributions to the community and the trust you hold within it.

Currently you get Karma points for making high quality contributions to the travel guide which others can add upon or help improve. In the future, they will also reflect the community's feedback on your articles.

As you contribute and gain more trust within the community, you will progress through the following levels, gaining recognition and influence:

 

Visitor 0
Sightseer 10
Tourist 100
Traveller 250
Explorer 400
Adventurer 750
Nomad 1500
GAIA 3000

 

You get Karma Points for the following actions*:

 

Registering and filling out a basic profile 10
Be the first to write a "First Impressions" article 9
Be the first to write a general category article 5
Be the first to add a "Place" 5
Be the first to add a City 1
Edit or improve an article or Place 1
Correct the location of a Place on the map 1

 

* Karma Points are still in "Beta" and so rewards, levels and point amounts may be adjusted or reset at any time. We will update the blog if this happens and why we made the change.
