Recognition earned through contribution.

Posting alone, liking your own posts, and sample content earn no points. Each member’s like or helpful mark counts once per piece of content. Removing feedback or hiding content adjusts the score, progress, and current badge.

Levels recognize community participation. VenWed’s verified business badge has its own verification process; a high community level does not verify a business or guarantee the accuracy of its advice.
