How Ouro's Trust System Works
Building safer matches through transparency and accountability
What is Reputation?
Your reputation is a lifetime cumulative record of your behavior and contributions to the Ouro community. Every player starts with a score of 50/100 in each dimension, and your reputation evolves based on your actions—both positive and negative.
Your reputation is never reset or decayed. This means that building a positive reputation takes time and consistent good behavior, making it valuable and meaningful.

Bidirectional Accountability
Reports don't just affect the reported player—they also impact the reporter. This two-way accountability system ensures that reports are meaningful and protects honest players from false accusations.
Report Review Process
Player submits a report with evidence and description
Report enters admin review queue (status: PENDING)
Admin reviews evidence, match data, and player histories
Decision made: VALIDATED (report is correct), DISMISSED (insufficient evidence), or FALSE REPORT (malicious/incorrect)
Reputation adjustments applied to both players based on decision
False Report Penalties
Admin Decision | Reporter Impact | Reported Player Impact |
|---|---|---|
VALIDATED | +2 Reporter Quality (reward) | -5 to -20 penalty (by severity) |
DISMISSED | -1 Reporter Quality (minor) | No penalty |
FALSE REPORT | -5 to -20 Reporter Quality (major) | +2 compensation bonus |
Protection for Honest Players
If you're falsely reported, our admin review process will catch it. Not only will you avoid any penalty, but you'll receive a +2 compensation bonus to your reputation, and the false reporter will face significant penalties. This protects you from malicious reports and report abuse.
