How is Kindling reputation calculated?

Who wants to know?!

Seriously though, users gain reputation by interacting with Kindling. Your reputation score is a reflection of your activity in the system. High-value activities are most rewarded, including:

  • submitting ideas
  • commenting on ideas
  • volunteering for ideas
  • having an idea approved

Other than that, we can’t tell you much more. Our reputation algorithm is a secret sauce and we don’t want to let that cat out of the bag!

Unsure where to find your reputation? It’s listed next to your name in Kindling’s header and on your profile. Viewing another user’s profile or checking the latest standings on the Leaderboard can give you a good sense of where you fit among the rest of your company. Are you on the low end? Sounds like it’s time to add some fresh ideas to the mix!
