Why is my Integrity Score going down?

Integrity Score goes down if your post is successfully challenged or if it is removed from public view for violating Pixstory’s terms of use.

What happens when someone challenges my post?

A story that has been challenged goes into moderation for verification. If a story has been challenged multiple times, and the information contained in it is contentious, it will earn a disputed status. A particular story may be replaced by a challenge after a review based on multiple criteria with help from experts in that particular topic. In case of violations of Pixstory’s term of use, the post will be hidden from public view and will be visible only to the author. If a post is replaced or made inactive, a maximum of 20 points will be deducted from the author’s Integrity Score.
