Kywok Score: Help the community, get help from the community
Kywok is built on contribution. Authors receive meaningful help from other members, and members build reputation by helping authors move their books forward.
Authors receive help from readers, reviewers, and launch supporters.
Members earn reputation by completing useful contributions.
The goal is a balanced community where everyone gives and receives.
What is Kywok Score?
Kywok Score is a contribution balance system. It helps the community stay fair without turning help into a marketplace.
It is not money
Kywok Score is not a currency and has no cash value. It exists only inside Kywok.
It cannot be bought
Score is earned through participation, not purchases. That keeps attention on community trust.
It encourages fair participation
The system gently reminds everyone to contribute before asking others for more help.

Kywok Score vs Community Contribution
Kywok Score
- Private balance used to participate in the community.
- Can increase when you help and decrease when you receive help.
- Has minimum and maximum limits to keep the system balanced.
Community Contribution
- Public reputation that shows how much you have helped others.
- Increases when you complete contributions.
- Never decreases, because past help remains part of your story.
How to increase your score
The best way to build score is to become a helpful presence in the community.
Fair community rules
Kywok Score exists to support collaboration, not competition.
The system prevents users from only asking for help without contributing.
Everyone starts with an initial score, so new members can participate right away.
Score has limits to prevent hoarding and keep participation active.
The goal is a generous, balanced community where authors and readers support each other.
The report button protects score fairness
Authors can report feedback that appears insufficient, fraudulent, abusive, or incomplete. Reports are reviewed by administrators before any action is taken, so disagreement with an honest opinion is not enough to change someone’s score.
