How the Hoozright Reputation Score works

Hoozright is built around debates that end.

You take a side. You make your case. People vote.

A debate needs at least 10 votes for a verdict. When voting closes, the side with more votes wins. Win or lose, the result goes on your record.

Your record shows results

Hoozright keeps a record of what happens when you take part.

It does not prove that you were objectively right. There is no referee checking the facts, and voters decide the winner.

That distinction matters. Winning means more people voted for your side. Losing means more people voted for the other side.

The result is final.

There are three ways to earn points

The biggest rewards come from arguing a debate.

Start a debate and win it to earn 100 points. Take the opposing side and win to earn 70.

You can also vote. Read both sides and vote for the one you think is right. If that side wins, your vote can earn up to 30 points.

And once you've voted, you can comment. Each like on your comment earns 1 point.

You must vote before you can comment, and you can't change your vote afterwards.

The score is a record, not a verdict on you

Your Reputation Score records results on Hoozright.

It does not measure how smart you are. It does not prove your judgement is better than somebody else's. And it does not turn a vote into an objective fact.

Hoozright records what happened: who won, who lost and the points earned from taking part.

Jury and Judge

Everyone starts as Jury.

The 10 highest-ranked members hold Judge status. That list updates every 24 hours. If you fall outside the top 10, you return to Jury.

Judge is a status on Hoozright. It does not make someone a referee, and Judges do not decide who wins a debate.

The votes do.

What stays on your record

Closed debates do not stay on the site forever.

A closed debate remains visible for one week and is then removed. You keep your score.

So the argument ends, the debate comes down, and the result still counts.

Make your case

You've had this argument before. Finish it.

Start a debate with two clear sides. Give people a reason to vote for yours.
