Users are rewarded activity points for rating websites and writing comments. All users have an activity score, which is visible on the add-on's rating window and the profile page for registered users.

Earning activity points

You receive activity points every time you rate a website you haven't rated before. If you are a registered user, you will also receive further points from the following activities:

  • Leaving comments on website scorecards
  • Posting on the WOT website (forum, blog, poll etc.)
  • Sending invitations to your friends

Please notice that the activity score won't update immediately after the activity, it's updated only once a day.

User levels

Registered users are grouped in different ranks based on their activity score. These ranks are visible on the profile and as a border with a distinct color around their avatar elsewhere on the website. The current user levels and the minimum activity points required to reach them are as follows:

Activity score User level Color Extra features
≥ 10000 Platinum Mass rating
≥ 6000 Gold Mass rating
≥ 3000 Silver
≥ 1500 Bronze
≥ 0 Rookie

The scoring system has a logarithmic scale, which means the more points you have, the more difficult it will be to increase your score.

Extra features

Users will have access to the mass rating tool after reaching the Gold level. The mass rating tools allows you to rate up to 100 sites at the same time, leaving each site the same rating and comment. This is useful when rating a large number of sites with the same owner, for example. You should always act responsibly when using the mass rating tool. Using it is a privilege, which will be taken away from users suspected of spamming.
