CONTRIBUTION CREDITS

W Center

Ws are WeSearch contribution credits. Earn them by helping the community understand, verify and organize the news. Use them for profile features, curation tools and Community Spotlight placements.

Not money. Ws have no monetary value. They cannot be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged for cash. They exist only inside WeSearch as recognition for useful community participation. Raw clicks, likes, and bare comments award 0 Ws.

Starts with a browser-only key (same as comments). You can earn without email. Add one below if you want recovery + the +5 W milestone.

2 · Recovery email

Optional — so you can recover this identity and claim the recovery milestone.

Your email

We store it on your account so this key isn’t locked to one browser forever. Not used for ads or ranking. Magic-link login is not required for the milestone yet — saving a real address is the claim step.

Rules & privacy

No purchase of editorial influence. Spotlight never alters story rankings.
No cash redemption, transfer, sale, or advertiser access to W activity.
Anonymous reading continues without an account. Ws need a persistent identity.
Trust uses account age and lifetime earned — not current spendable balance.
