# Reputation Points
Reputation Points (RP) measure your trustworthiness within the community. Ranging from 100 (highest) to 0 (lowest)
## Losing RP
Posting and/or upvoting harmful low quality content will reduce RP.
Maintaining a high RP is essential for keeping your role and continued earnings.
**If RP drops below 50, earnings will be temporarily suspended until it is restored.**
**If RP drops below 35, your account will be subject to an investigation, which may result in a permanent ban.**
There are 2 types of violations: **Content** and **Account** level
#### Content level
| Action | Participants | Reduction |
| -------------------------- | ------------- | --------- |
| Posting Prohibited Content | Post creator | -5 RP |
| | Post upvoters | -1 RP |
**Account level**
| Action | Participant | Reduction |
| -------------------------- | ----------- | --------- |
| Posting Prohibited Content | Account | -35 RP |
| Action | Participant | Reduction |
| --------------- | ----------- | --------- |
| Abusing Upvotes | Account | -35 RP |
## Restoration
RP is gradually restored twice a month on `1st` and `15th`, provided the user hasn't lost a significant amount of points between each period.
