We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
Most importantly - questions should be relevant to this community. Before you ask - please make sure to search for a similar question. You can search questions by their title or tags.
Please avoid asking questions that are not relevant to this community, too subjective and argumentative.
together.jolla.com is a question and answer site - it is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essense of questions and answers. For the brief discussions please use commenting facility.
The short answer is: you. This website is moderated by the users. Karma system allows users to earn rights to perform a variety of moderation tasks
When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.
For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 10 points. There is a limit of 250 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table below explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.

Please note that administrators can grant or remove karma points when the situation requires. Strong language, inappropriate comments, spamming trigger karma points removal, prior to account suspension or blockage. Exceptional contributions are of course, also rewarded.
The picture that appears on the users profiles is called gravatar (which means globally recognized avatar).
Here is how it works: a cryptographic key (unbreakable code) is calculated from your email address. You upload your picture (or your favorite alter ego image) the website gravatar.com from where we later retreive your image using the key.
This way all the websites you trust can show your image next to your posts and your email address remains private.
Please personalize your account with an image - just register at gravatar.com (just please be sure to use the same email address that you used to register with us). Default image that looks like a kitchen tile is generated automatically.
