Public contribution and platform review
Honors & Trust System
The LynHub honors system is a recognition mechanism based on public collaboration data. An honor is public recognition. It is not a platform assurance of outcomes, and it does not represent any commitment about income or order volume.
What honors are
Honors recognize public contributions and collaboration. Adoption and “mark as helpful” are strong signals; saving is a weak signal used only as background reference and does not directly unlock strong-endorsement honors.
How honors are earned
- Automatic: general contribution badges are granted automatically when conditions are met, with no review.
- Application: submit an application once you meet the eligibility, and the team reviews it.
- Strong-endorsement honors are granted directly by the platform. They are revocable and expirable.
Adoption, helpful, and saving
- Adoption: the request publisher adopts a proposal (strong signal).
- Helpful: the project publisher marks a review as helpful (strong signal).
- Fork acceptance: the original project publisher accepts a fork (strong signal).
- Saving: any signed-in user can save content; it does not directly unlock strong-endorsement honors (weak signal).
Growth paths for three roles
Designer: onboarded → emerging → verified → preferred → LynHub recommended
Service provider: certifications → high-risk qualification
Aesthete: observer → contributor → curator → preferred → LynHub recommended
Revocable and expirable
Strong-endorsement honors have an expiry and must be re-reviewed. When abuse or violations are found, an admin can revoke an honor.
Abuse prevention
You cannot adopt your own proposal, mark your own review as helpful, or accept your own fork. Content confirmed as reported deducts the corresponding contribution, and an admin can freeze honor applications.
Honors are not a platform assurance
An honor is public recognition. It is not a platform assurance of outcomes, ability, or cooperation, and it does not represent any commitment about income or order volume.
LynHub does not show public total scores, rankings, volume, income, or order counts.
