*; ''"Comment votes have been disabled for this site"''
*: When a site's reputation has become controversial i.e. there is a discrepancy between high and low ratings, the ability to agree or disagree with existing comments is deactivated. In most cases, this is an automatic response from WOT and is not an action taken by WOT Staff.

==Scorecard comment editing==

*: Only positive comment votes are removed when comments are changed. Negative comment votes will remain when a comment is edited, <strike>including changes to the comment category</strike>.

Mass rating tool

2013-10-22T17:41:45Z

Nova7:

=Introduction=
The mass rating tool allows you to rate up to 100 sites at the same time, leaving each site the same rating and comment. This is useful when rating a large number of sites with the same owner, for example. You should always act '''responsibly''' when using the mass rating tool. Using it is a privilege, which will be taken away from users suspected of spamming or abuse.

The mass rating tool was [http://www.mywot.com/blog/98-mass-rating-tool-for-wot-power-users introduced] to the WOT Community back in September of 2008 and was originally offered to users who had obtained the Gold level or higher Platinum level [[Activity scores|activity score]]. Credit is given to WOT user ''Lordpake'' for the original suggestion of a mass submission tool.

==Availability==
On December 28, 2009 an [http://www.mywot.com/blog/216-mass-rating-tool-changes-to-platinum-users announcement] was made informing the WOT Community that access to the mass rating tool has changed to Platinum level users; while current Gold level members who already have access to the mass rating tool will retain that access. However, new Gold level members will have to reach Platinum level before they are awarded the privilege. This change came as a result of members abusing the use of the tool by rating published blacklists and host files without verifying the validity of the source and for not checking these list entries for accuracy. Sometimes innocent sites are mistakenly added to these lists, known as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors#Type_I_error false positive], or sites are added temporarily because they were [http://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/archive/2008/05/28/compromised-websites-a-real-danger-for-internet-users.aspx compromised], in neither case should these sites ''Reputation'' suffer long term effects within WOT from this misuse.

===Privileges===
The mass rating tool (MRT) is a ''privilege'' which is awarded to members reaching [[Activity scores|Platinum activity level]], assuming that their rating history is not suspicious. If there is detection of misuse or abuse the MRT shall be removed from the abusing member, with no guarantee of reinstatement.

===Special considerations===
WOT Staff reserves the right to offer the mass rating tool to any member regardless of their current activity level. In many incidents, these members which are new to WOT have already established trust throughout the spam / scam fighting community.

==User profile location==
When a member has reached the Platinum level [[Activity scores|activity score]], they will notice in their User Profile a new menu tab labeled ''Mass rating''. Simply open [http://www.mywot.com/user/ your profile] and you can see if you have the mass rating tool available. The URL should be: <pre>https://www.mywot.com/user/00000/massrate</pre> where ''00000'' is your user ID number. 
[[File:Wot_mass-rate_profile.png|User profile menu tab]]
 

==Mass Rating Tool Page Preview==
If you have access to the ''mass-rating tool'', this is what you will see when clicking on the menu tab in your WOT account profile. The components are discussed in detail following this thumbnail.

==Domain entry box==
This is where you may place IP numbers or domain names that you are going to rate and comment as a group. The mass rating tool will rate up to one hundred entries per submission, however, you may place any amount of entries into the box and if over 100, you will receive a message stating the quantity of entries that remain for which you need to click the Submit button repeatedly until all are submitted. If you make an entry error, you will be informed with a "failed to rate: domain name" message. These information messages only display for a short time, so you will need to pay attention as you use the mass rating tool. The IP or domain entries may be placed in URL form, simple name comma separated value (CSV), or simple name linear.

<blockquote>Important! Currently the mass rating tool does not support possibility to rate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)], without prior conversion to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode Punycode].</blockquote>

==Category selection==
When mass rating domain entries, you ''must'' include a comment and select the category that best describes the comments you are making. This component displays a drop-down list of currently available comment categories to choose from. For more information, please refer to the [[Scorecard#Comments|Scorecard Comment]] article.

==Reputation rating==
All domain entries that are mass rated will be given the same [[Scorecard#Reputation_rating|reputation rating]] that you select in this section of the mass rating tool. It is exactly the same as making selections on either the [[Scorecard|Scorecard]] or within the Rating window.

==Comment section==
When mass rating websites, you are ''required'' to leave a comment. This is something that should be given careful consideration since all entries you chose to rate are going to be rated equally and given the same rating category. Your comments should be precise as to ''why'' these domains are being rated in a likewise manner. If you have a linkable source that can either verify or show justification for your ratings, it is preferred that you include it. Be descriptive and authoritative when entering your comments, as well as polite.

===Multiple comments===
The mass-rating tool allows up to three comment postings per scorecard per user, including sites marked as [[FAQ#Ratings_vs._comments|controversial]] which overrides the standard scorecard comment entry of only one posting per user. It is recommended to leave only one comment per rating per domain, however you may find that a domain you previously rated for spam and commented using the '''Spam''' category, you are now rating it as a Phishing domain and included the '''Phishing or other scams''' category, both comments will appear on the scorecard. Anyone who is caught misusing the mass-rating tool by trying to spam multiple comments will have their [http://www.mywot.com/forum/5839--controversial-rating?comment=29421#comment-29421 mass-rating privilege removed].

see also: [[Mass_rating_tool#Replacement_option|Replacement option]]

===Comment variable===
To enable your comments to be more precise or to appear more "personal" a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_%28programming%29 variable] has been introduced for use in the comment section. The implementation of this feature was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/5298-massrating-variable announced on the Forum] by ''Timo'' on 12 January, 2010. Credit for introducing template-style variables is given to G7W.
<pre>
!domain
</pre>
''!domain'' is simply replaced with each of the entries being rated that are listed in the [[Mass_rating_tool#Domain_entry box|domain entry box]], whether they are IP numbers, or domain names.

===Comment identifier===
With major [http://www.mywot.com/blog/339-improvements-in-the-wot-scorecard modifications] to the Scorecard, a new icon has been introduced, April 2011, to identify comments posted using the mass rating tool.

[[File:Massrate.gif]]

==Replacement option==
The mass rating tool allows you to rate a group of domains in a selected category and leave a comment. You can re-rate these domains and enter a different comment. By default if you have previously rated a domain your new comment replaces the previous one. If you tick the check mark box for this component, WOT will retain your previous comment and append your new one as well.

''note:''
This only works if the newly selected comment category is different from any previously recorded ratings. You cannot have two or more comments of the same category for the same domain.

example:
You rate 10 domains that are associated to each other in some way and which you have had a good customer experience with. You may wish to leave a "Good site" comment and then re-rate them to also leave a "Good customer experience" comment. If the check mark box is not checked, your "Good site" will be written over with the "Good customer experience" comment, ticking the check mark box will include both comments on each scorecard of the domains rated.

alternative example:
You have a small list of domains that have high reputations for Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, and Privacy, yet these domains contain content of a mature nature. You've rated these sites high, excluding the Child Safety reputation which you've lowered to unsatisfactory, poor, or very poor and left a positive comment. You may also wish to leave a warning for parents that the site's content is not suitable for young children. You can leave your ratings as is and rate the domains a second time offering an Adult cautionary comment.

==Mass delete==
Each Scorecard has the ability for a user to remove their comments and to delete their ratings for a website. The mass rating tool also provides this ability to work with more than one domain at a time. This is useful if you have rated compromised websites that are no longer compromised and wish to remove you comments and ratings from them. Simply enter the list of domains into the domain entry box, check mark this component's option and click Submit. Your previous ratings will be deleted and your comments removed.

==Submit==
The submit button processes ratings for one to one hundred entries. If you have more than one hundred entries for rating, the remainder will be displayed and you are required to Submit them again. This process continues until your entries have been depleted. If you Submit with no entries left in the domain list box, it will appear in red and a error message is displayed stating that you have no entries to process.

===Submit limitation===
Submits are limited to 100 per 10 minutes. With each submission allowing up to 100 domains, you are limited to 10,000 domains per 10 minutes. This limitation is in place to stop a malfunctioning add-on or a bot from causing excessive server load.

===Submit notification===
Displayed above the domain list input box, after the ''Submit'' button has been clicked, showing which entries are "newly rated" versus those entries you may have rated previously.
Example:
<pre>Thanks, 87 new comments added and 12 comments updated and 99 ratings updated/added.
Failed to rate: 178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa.
Your list contains 566 more ratings to be processed</pre>
Note:
If you tick the '''Don't replace my earlier comments''' check-mark box, the resulting notification will display as:
<pre>Thanks, 87 new comments added and 0 comments updated and 99 ratings updated/added.
Failed to rate: 178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa.
Your list contains 566 more ratings to be processed</pre>

The ''Failed to rate: domain name'' error is returned when an improper domain name is referenced.
178.19.101.212.in-addr.arpa is not a valid domain name, it is the reverse address (IPv4) for IP: 212.101.19.178 reference: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup Reverse DNS lookup]
Entering ''212.101.19.178'' in the domain list entry box will result with a recorded MRT rating.

=Profile privacy settings=
==User board==
As a Platinum Level Member of WOT and having access to the mass-rating tool you are expected to allow open communication from other users who may disagree in how you've rated/commented on a website. Previously, some mass-rating members had disabled receiving messages from other users registered on the Forums by editing Profile -> Edit -> Privacy Settings and turning "Off" their Boards.

A [http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/5227-platinum-level-suggestion discussion] was created on the Forums to disable this feature, in effect forcing mass-rating members to maintain some form of ''responsibility'' for their ratings. It was [http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/5227-platinum-level-suggestion?comment=26041#comment-26041 announced] on 13 January, 2010 by ''Timo'' that this restriction has been implemented. Basically, if a Platinum user has their Board messages set to "Off" they shall still receive private message from other users; naturally if the board is set to "On" there is no change.

==Rating / post count==
You have the choice to publicly display or hide the ''Ratings / Posts Counts''. To change this setting, edit your [https://www.mywot.com/profile/edit profile settings] in the '''Privacy settings''' block look for: ''Hide my rating and post counts''

* Not checked (default) allows other users viewing your profile to see your count totals.
* Checked hides count totals from public view, text is formatted to the color blue so you'll always be able to see your daily counts.
Remember to scroll down and click ''Submit'' when making any changes to your profile settings.

This ability was added to the User Profile: [https://www.mywot.com/forum/22354-mass-rating-tool?comment=180624#comment-180624 Fri 11 Jan 2013]

=Whitelist=
Currently there is no facility to maintain an exclusion filter or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitelist whitelist] via the MRT.

There are certain IP's and host names which should not earn reputation or comment.

[[MRT whitelist]]

=Caveat=
You have been given this tool because you have rated many domains to achieve the Platinum level status. Be careful as to how you use it, mass rating is a ''privilege'' that can be easily taken away.

* Do not attempt to use this for the sake of increasing your activity score, you might be surprised and discover you no longer have access.
* Do not attempt to manipulate website [scorecard] reputations, you will lose access to the MRT as well as have your previous ratings and comments deleted.

Rating a website's reputation is a serious matter. Rating websites is not a game, there is no "race" to see who can rate more. Please be accurate and at the same time be responsible.

[[File:wot_security_scorecard.png|300px|thumb|right|Basic WOT Security Scorecard with no ratings]]
The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.

== Scorecard colors ==
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall ''Trustworthiness'' (reputation) of a website. The color range is:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px;"

|}

Though we see colors to make our testimonial easier, WOT translates these colors to numbers and with using statistical analysis to compute the individual reputation values that, when combined, generate the website's overall Trustworthiness.

== Scorecard components ==

The scorecard consists of several components that dynamically retrieves the information presented to you. A quick list of these components are as follows:
# [[#Thumbnail|Thumbnail]]
# [[#Help view|Help view]]

===Thumbnail===
[[File:wot_scorecard_thumbnail_dual-focus.png|thumb|right|Scorecard thumbnail with dual focus]]
The thumbnail is a captured image of the index page of a website. The purpose is to help visually identify the site in revue.

The image may be clear or it may be blurred depending upon the rating level of the Child Safety indicator. When there are poor to very poor ratings for child safety, the image is blurred to prevent viewing of possible pornographic material. The provided image displays both clear and blurred areas for example.
<blockquote>''note'': some images may not be blurred even though Child Safety ratings are poor, this is because the image was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/10972-please-report-new-scorecard-bugs-here-only?comment=92008#comment-92008 manually approved] by WOT Staff</blockquote>

This image is updated every 60 days, although for less popular sites it might take longer for the image to be updated. If you've changed your site design and notice a conflict, don't worry WOT will catch up in due time.

===Help view===
[[File:wot_scorecard_help-view_EN.png|300|thumb|right|Scorecard Help view]]
Clicking on Help View, located at the upper right corner of the Scorecard, brings up an image offering some explanation to various areas of interest such as:
* Popularity
* Server location
* Compete.com statistics
* Description
* Tags
The help view also offers hints to reputation ratings as well as mentioning about the confidence indicators.
 

===Site name===
Self-explanatory, the Site Name is the domain name or IP address of the website being rated. This also includes sub domains, for example: ''subdomain.example.com''.

The Scorecard URL generally incorporates the site name, but in certain cases it does not.
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/1935-twitter-profiles-get-ratings-and-scorecard Twitter profiles may be rated in WOT] and are given special names for URLs, while the site name remains for scorecard display. For example: ''twitter.com/Web_of_Trust'' scorecard's URL is:
http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/_p_k5swex3pmzpvi4tvon2a.twitter.com.
 

===Popularity===
[[File:wot_scorecard_indicator.png|125px|thumb|right|popularity indicator]]
Popularity is often confused with a site's overall monthly hit rate.

This is not so, the popularity icons, the "little people" that are displayed next to the Site Name are an indication of how many WOT users have visited the website.
 

===Rank===
A scorecard ranking is measured by the popularity of a website as visited by WOT users.
Many sites will have an N/A (not applicable) as their rank, if your site may fall into this ranking, don't worry about it, you're part of the majority. This is merely a demographic display and an entertaining one as well. You can view the top ten highest ranked websites by visiting the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community page] or to see more, simply open up an empty scorecard URL: http://www.mywot.com/scorecard. The ranking of websites is updated every 60 days. As of this writing, Mail.ru is ranked at number one.
 

===Owner===
The owner information is provided with a whois ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS Wikipedia]) courtesy link. Currently, the service of choice is with [http://whois.domaintools.com/ whois.domaintools.com].
 

===Server location===
[[File:wot_scorecard_flag.png|130px|thumb|right|Server location]]
For easy visual reference, mini country flags are displayed along with the two letter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code country code] to give you an idea of the location of the web server that the website is hosted on. The example image shows [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/mywot.com mywot.com] which is hosted in Finland and [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/google.com google.com] which is hosted in the United States.

Domains sitting on multiple IP's will display the country image when all IP's share the same country as location. When multiple IP's are referenced and are located in more than one country, the ''Global'' icon is used. [[File:Flag_global.png]] [http://www.mywot.com/forum/14732-what-means-on-the-scorecard-of-avast-com-server-location-global?comment=99514#comment-99514 Example]
 

===Statistics===
Website statistical information such as monthly visitors and graphs are provided by [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mywot.com/ compete.com] free of charge. There is much information available by this company however, registration is required to access it.
 

===Wiki===
The wiki links to [http://www.aboutus.org/ aboutus.org] that dynamically creates pages for websites from publicly accessible information such as meta tags and whois information. Once built, the pages – like any wiki – are available to be edited by the site owner, it's representatives, or anyone who visits the site.
 

===Description===
The scorecard obtains the website's description dynamically through the information supplied by the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag] from within the site's index page. In the event that no description meta tag exists, nothing is displayed. This information is updated every 60 days.

An example of a description meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="description" content="WOT is a Free Internet Security addon for Firefox and IE that warns you about online scams and risky websites that try to deliver malware or send spam." /> </pre>

To manually edit a site's description that displays on the site's scorecard, the site owner must be a registered user where they can submit the site into their user profile via the ''My Sites'' section. The site then requires verification, proving that you have root access (owner / administrator), after which the description may be changed, overriding the current META tag information.
 

===Tags===
Just like ''Description'', tags are dynamically retrieved information through the value supplied to the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag keywords]. This information is also updated every 60 days.

An example of a keyword meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="keywords" content="spam, online scams, malware, ie addon, firefox addon, online security, free internet security, web of trust, mywot, wot" /> </pre>
 

===Reputation rating===
[[File:wot_scorecard_reputation_unrated.png|290px|thumb|right|Reputation rating section, unrated example]]
Herein lies the heart of WOT where website reputations are entered and the website is deemed to be ''safe'' or trusted, ''cautionary'', ''unsafe'' or not trustful.

The entries made in this section should be done so in an unbiased way, offering genuinely honest ratings. Ratings are cast by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot secret ballot] assuring your anonymity and maintaining your privacy. Of course, if you decide to make a publicly viewable comment, then people may associate the chosen comment category (green or red) as to ''how'' you rated.

Those who try to abuse the rating system eventually get "caught" because their selected ratings differ from the majority of the votes cast; remember WOT is a [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/anonymity-vs-democracy meritocracy]. For more information about how reputational trust is computed, please refer to this blog post on [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/confidence Confidence].

The Reputation Rating section of the website scorecard consists of four rating categories, each consisting of four elements.

====The Rating Elements====
# The ''WOT Symbol'' [[File:16_excellent.png]] displays the current reputation from the aggregated result of all prior ratings. For more information, please refer to the website support section for [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols WOT symbols]
# The ''Rating Description'' simply identifies the category of the website's reputation that you are rating. This is a text label that is translated into the language that you have your preferences set to.
# The ''Rating Bar'' [[File:wot_scorecard_rating_bar.png]] is how you transfer your experiences with, or opinions of, the website you are rating into the WOT reputation system. A small white bullet   •   appears when you choose to edit and hover your mouse over any of the rating bars. If you have previously rated the site, the bullet is positioned at your last value upon viewing the scorecard. The rating bar consists of five colorized sections, each represents a group of values that determine the score for the category being rated. These five sections are textually labeled as (from left to right):
#* Very Poor
#* Poor
#* Unsatisfactory
#* Good
#* Excellent
# The ''Confidence Indicator'' [[File:Wot_scorecard_indicator.png]] Confidence tells you how reliable the rating system considers the reputation. The more small human figures there are next to the reputation, the more reliable it's considered. The add-on uses confidence values as thresholds for warnings. If the confidence is not high enough, you won't see a warning even if the reputation is poor. Also, if the confidence is very low, the site appears as [[Unrated_scorecard|unrated]] until the confidence reaches the minimum threshold.

===The Rating Categories===
— officially explained on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support section] of the website and consist of:
====Trustworthiness====
Can you trust this site? Would you share it with family or friends? Have you had a pleasant experience? Is it worth returning to? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then it is worth rating as Excellent. If you answer "no" to one of these questions, then it is worth rating Good. The lower amount of "yes" answers to these questions, the lower the rating becomes.
====Vendor Reliability====
Generally represents a site that has a product to sell and whether or not you had a positive shopping experience, as mentioned on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support page,] but what if there is nothing to purchase, should this be left unrated? That would depend upon what the product is that the site has to offer. It could be a free item, so there is no financial purchase. One example could be a blog, forum, or news site whose product is information; is this information factual, or it is biased, or worse is it pure fabrication? Software download sites, some mirror the author's product, some link to the authors download page, others repackage the author's product and include Adware, Spyware, or possibly Malware. Other aspects of reliability is how well the site is designed or built. Could you consider the site to be reliable if it has flaws in it's design? Would you trust making a financial transaction if the site utilizes faulty JavaScript for example? Many things can determine how reliable the site and/or it's owner(s) are.

====Privacy====
Can the website be trusted with your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card information, or other [[Personally_Identifiable_Information_(PII)|Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]? Have you subscribed to a newsletter or email list and then started receiving a large amount of Spam? If you experience no abuse, then the site is worth an Excellent Rating. This is where personal experience should be used for rating purposes. Exceptions would be, for example, verifying phishing schemes or submitting Spam sites.
====Child Safety====
Is the website safe for young children? Does it consist of adult related material such as a political forum where participants are engaged in swearing? Is it a gaming site whose age group is for 15 year olds or older? What about a musician's site where the music (and lyrics) are recommended for mature audiences? Does the site contain pornographic material? Base your ratings for this category by asking yourself, "Would I allow my child to access this website?"

[[File:wot_security_scorecard.png|300px|thumb|right|Basic WOT Security Scorecard with no ratings]]
The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.

== Scorecard colors ==
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall ''Trustworthiness'' (reputation) of a website. The color range is:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px;"

|}

Though we see colors to make our testimonial easier, WOT translates these colors to numbers and with using statistical analysis to compute the individual reputation values that, when combined, generate the website's overall Trustworthiness.

== Scorecard components ==

The scorecard consists of several components that dynamically retrieves the information presented to you. A quick list of these components are as follows:
# [[#Thumbnail|Thumbnail]]

===Thumbnail===
[[File:wot_scorecard_thumbnail_dual-focus.png|thumb|right|Scorecard thumbnail with dual focus]]
The thumbnail is a captured image of the index page of a website. The purpose is to help visually identify the site in revue.

The image may be clear or it may be blurred depending upon the rating level of the Child Safety indicator. When there are poor to very poor ratings for child safety, the image is blurred to prevent viewing of possible pornographic material. The provided image displays both clear and blurred areas for example.
<blockquote>''note'': some images may not be blurred even though Child Safety ratings are poor, this is because the image was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/10972-please-report-new-scorecard-bugs-here-only?comment=92008#comment-92008 manually approved] by WOT Staff</blockquote>

This image is updated every 60 days, although for less popular sites it might take longer for the image to be updated. If you've changed your site design and notice a conflict, don't worry WOT will catch up in due time.

===Help view===
[[File:wot_scorecard_help-view_EN.png|300|thumb|right|Scorecard Help view]]
Clicking on Help View, located at the upper right corner of the Scorecard, brings up an image offering some explanation to various areas of interest such as:
* Popularity
* Server location
* Compete.com statistics
* Description
* Tags
The help view also offers hints to reputation ratings as well as mentioning about the confidence indicators.
 

===Site name===
Self-explanatory, the Site Name is the domain name or IP address of the website being rated. This also includes sub domains, for example: ''subdomain.example.com''.

The Scorecard URL generally incorporates the site name, but in certain cases it does not.
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/1935-twitter-profiles-get-ratings-and-scorecard Twitter profiles may be rated in WOT] and are given special names for URLs, while the site name remains for scorecard display. For example: ''twitter.com/Web_of_Trust'' scorecard's URL is:
http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/_p_k5swex3pmzpvi4tvon2a.twitter.com.
 

===Popularity===
[[File:wot_scorecard_indicator.png|125px|thumb|right|popularity indicator]]
Popularity is often confused with a site's overall monthly hit rate.

This is not so, the popularity icons, the "little people" that are displayed next to the Site Name are an indication of how many WOT users have visited the website.
 

===Rank===
A scorecard ranking is measured by the popularity of a website as visited by WOT users.
Many sites will have an N/A (not applicable) as their rank, if your site may fall into this ranking, don't worry about it, you're part of the majority. This is merely a demographic display and an entertaining one as well. You can view the top ten highest ranked websites by visiting the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community page] or to see more, simply open up an empty scorecard URL: http://www.mywot.com/scorecard. The ranking of websites is updated every 60 days. As of this writing, Mail.ru is ranked at number one.
 

===Owner===
The owner information is provided with a whois ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS Wikipedia]) courtesy link. Currently, the service of choice is with [http://whois.domaintools.com/ whois.domaintools.com].
 

===Server location===
[[File:wot_scorecard_flag.png|130px|thumb|right|Server location]]
For easy visual reference, mini country flags are displayed along with the two letter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code country code] to give you an idea of the location of the web server that the website is hosted on. The example image shows [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/mywot.com mywot.com] which is hosted in Finland and [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/google.com google.com] which is hosted in the United States.

Domains sitting on multiple IP's will display the country image when all IP's share the same country as location. When multiple IP's are referenced and are located in more than one country, the ''Global'' icon is used. [[File:Flag_global.png]] [http://www.mywot.com/forum/14732-what-means-on-the-scorecard-of-avast-com-server-location-global?comment=99514#comment-99514 Example]
 

===Statistics===
Website statistical information such as monthly visitors and graphs are provided by [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mywot.com/ compete.com] free of charge. There is much information available by this company however, registration is required to access it.
 

===Wiki===
The wiki links to [http://www.aboutus.org/ aboutus.org] that dynamically creates pages for websites from publicly accessible information such as meta tags and whois information. Once built, the pages – like any wiki – are available to be edited by the site owner, it's representatives, or anyone who visits the site.
 

===Description===
The scorecard obtains the website's description dynamically through the information supplied by the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag] from within the site's index page. In the event that no description meta tag exists, nothing is displayed. This information is updated every 60 days.

An example of a description meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="description" content="WOT is a Free Internet Security addon for Firefox and IE that warns you about online scams and risky websites that try to deliver malware or send spam." /> </pre>

To manually edit a site's description that displays on the site's scorecard, the site owner must be a registered user where they can submit the site into their user profile via the ''My Sites'' section. The site then requires verification, proving that you have root access (owner / administrator), after which the description may be changed, overriding the current META tag information.
 

===Tags===
Just like ''Description'', tags are dynamically retrieved information through the value supplied to the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag keywords]. This information is also updated every 60 days.

An example of a keyword meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="keywords" content="spam, online scams, malware, ie addon, firefox addon, online security, free internet security, web of trust, mywot, wot" /> </pre>
 

===Reputation rating===
[[File:wot_scorecard_reputation_unrated.png|290px|thumb|right|Reputation rating section, unrated example]]
Herein lies the heart of WOT where website reputations are entered and the website is deemed to be ''safe'' or trusted, ''cautionary'', ''unsafe'' or not trustful.

The entries made in this section should be done so in an unbiased way, offering genuinely honest ratings. Ratings are cast by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot secret ballot] assuring your anonymity and maintaining your privacy. Of course, if you decide to make a publicly viewable comment, then people may associate the chosen comment category (green or red) as to ''how'' you rated.

Those who try to abuse the rating system eventually get "caught" because their selected ratings differ from the majority of the votes cast; remember WOT is a [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/anonymity-vs-democracy meritocracy]. For more information about how reputational trust is computed, please refer to this blog post on [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/confidence Confidence].

The Reputation Rating section of the website scorecard consists of four rating categories, each consisting of four elements.

====The Rating Elements====
# The ''WOT Symbol'' [[File:16_excellent.png]] displays the current reputation from the aggregated result of all prior ratings. For more information, please refer to the website support section for [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols WOT symbols]
# The ''Rating Description'' simply identifies the category of the website's reputation that you are rating. This is a text label that is translated into the language that you have your preferences set to.
# The ''Rating Bar'' [[File:wot_scorecard_rating_bar.png]] is how you transfer your experiences with, or opinions of, the website you are rating into the WOT reputation system. A small white bullet   •   appears when you choose to edit and hover your mouse over any of the rating bars. If you have previously rated the site, the bullet is positioned at your last value upon viewing the scorecard. The rating bar consists of five colorized sections, each represents a group of values that determine the score for the category being rated. These five sections are textually labeled as (from left to right):
#* Very Poor
#* Poor
#* Unsatisfactory
#* Good
#* Excellent
# The ''Confidence Indicator'' [[File:Wot_scorecard_indicator.png]] Confidence tells you how reliable the rating system considers the reputation. The more small human figures there are next to the reputation, the more reliable it's considered. The add-on uses confidence values as thresholds for warnings. If the confidence is not high enough, you won't see a warning even if the reputation is poor. Also, if the confidence is very low, the site appears as [[Unrated_scorecard|unrated]] until the confidence reaches the minimum threshold.

===The Rating Categories===
— officially explained on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support section] of the website and consist of:
====Trustworthiness====
Can you trust this site? Would you share it with family or friends? Have you had a pleasant experience? Is it worth returning to? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then it is worth rating as Excellent. If you answer "no" to one of these questions, then it is worth rating Good. The lower amount of "yes" answers to these questions, the lower the rating becomes.
====Vendor Reliability====
Generally represents a site that has a product to sell and whether or not you had a positive shopping experience, as mentioned on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support page,] but what if there is nothing to purchase, should this be left unrated? That would depend upon what the product is that the site has to offer. It could be a free item, so there is no financial purchase. One example could be a blog, forum, or news site whose product is information; is this information factual, or it is biased, or worse is it pure fabrication? Software download sites, some mirror the author's product, some link to the authors download page, others repackage the author's product and include Adware, Spyware, or possibly Malware. Other aspects of reliability is how well the site is designed or built. Could you consider the site to be reliable if it has flaws in it's design? Would you trust making a financial transaction if the site utilizes faulty JavaScript for example? Many things can determine how reliable the site and/or it's owner(s) are.

====Privacy====
Can the website be trusted with your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card information, or other [[Personally_Identifiable_Information_(PII)|Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]? Have you subscribed to a newsletter or email list and then started receiving a large amount of Spam? If you experience no abuse, then the site is worth an Excellent Rating. This is where personal experience should be used for rating purposes. Exceptions would be, for example, verifying phishing schemes or submitting Spam sites.
====Child Safety====
Is the website safe for young children? Does it consist of adult related material such as a political forum where participants are engaged in swearing? Is it a gaming site whose age group is for 15 year olds or older? What about a musician's site where the music (and lyrics) are recommended for mature audiences?

The thumbnail is a captured image of the index page of a website. The purpose is to help visually identify the site in revue.

The image may be clear or it may be blurred depending upon the rating level of the Child Safety indicator. When there are poor to very poor ratings for child safety, the image is blurred to prevent viewing of possible pornographic material. The provided image displays both clear and blurred areas for example.
<blockquote>''note'': some images may not be blurred even though Child Safety ratings are poor, this is because the image was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/10972-please-report-new-scorecard-bugs-here-only?comment=92008#comment-92008 manually approved] by WOT Staff</blockquote>

This image is updated every 60 days, although for less popular sites it might take longer for the image to be updated. If you've changed your site design and notice a conflict, don't worry WOT will catch up in due time.

===Help view===
[[File:wot_scorecard_help-view_EN.png|300|thumb|right|Scorecard Help view]]
Clicking on Help View, located at the upper right corner of the Scorecard, brings up an image offering some explanation to various areas of interest such as:
* Popularity
* Server location
* Compete.com statistics
* Description
* Tags
The help view also offers hints to reputation ratings as well as mentioning about the confidence indicators.
 

===Site name===
Self-explanatory, the Site Name is the domain name or IP address of the website being rated. This also includes sub domains, for example: ''subdomain.example.com''.

The Scorecard URL generally incorporates the site name, but in certain cases it does not.
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/1935-twitter-profiles-get-ratings-and-scorecard Twitter profiles may be rated in WOT] and are given special names for URLs, while the site name remains for scorecard display. For example: ''twitter.com/Web_of_Trust'' scorecard's URL is:
http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/_p_k5swex3pmzpvi4tvon2a.twitter.com.
 

===Popularity===
[[File:wot_scorecard_indicator.png|125px|thumb|right|popularity indicator]]
Popularity is often confused with a site's overall monthly hit rate.

This is not so, the popularity icons, the "little people" that are displayed next to the Site Name are an indication of how many WOT users have visited the website.
 

===Rank===
A scorecard ranking is measured by the popularity of a website as visited by WOT users.
Many sites will have an N/A (not applicable) as their rank, if your site may fall into this ranking, don't worry about it, you're part of the majority. This is merely a demographic display and an entertaining one as well. You can view the top ten highest ranked websites by visiting the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community page] or to see more, simply open up an empty scorecard URL: http://www.mywot.com/scorecard. The ranking of websites is updated every 60 days. As of this writing, Mail.ru is ranked at number one.
 

===Owner===
The owner information is provided with a whois ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS Wikipedia]) courtesy link. Currently, the service of choice is with [http://whois.domaintools.com/ whois.domaintools.com].
 

===Server location===
[[File:wot_scorecard_flag.png|130px|thumb|right|Server location]]
For easy visual reference, mini country flags are displayed along with the two letter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code country code] to give you an idea of the location of the web server that the website is hosted on. The example image shows [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/mywot.com mywot.com] which is hosted in Finland and [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/google.com google.com] which is hosted in the United States.

Domains sitting on multiple IP's will display the country image when all IP's share the same country as location. When multiple IP's are referenced and are located in more than one country, the ''Global'' icon is used. [[File:Flag_global.png]] [http://www.mywot.com/forum/14732-what-means-on-the-scorecard-of-avast-com-server-location-global?comment=99514#comment-99514 Example]
 

===Statistics===
Website statistical information such as monthly visitors and graphs are provided by [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mywot.com/ compete.com] free of charge. There is much information available by this company however, registration is required to access it.
 

===Wiki===
The wiki links to [http://www.aboutus.org/ aboutus.org] that dynamically creates pages for websites from publicly accessible information such as meta tags and whois information. Once built, the pages – like any wiki – are available to be edited by the site owner, it's representatives, or anyone who visits the site.
 

===Description===
The scorecard obtains the website's description dynamically through the information supplied by the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag] from within the site's index page. In the event that no description meta tag exists, nothing is displayed. This information is updated every 60 days.

An example of a description meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="description" content="WOT is a Free Internet Security addon for Firefox and IE that warns you about online scams and risky websites that try to deliver malware or send spam." /> </pre>

To manually edit a site's description that displays on the site's scorecard, the site owner must be a registered user where they can submit the site into their user profile via the ''My Sites'' section. The site then requires verification, proving that you have root access (owner / administrator), after which the description may be changed, overriding the current META tag information.
 

===Tags===
Just like ''Description'', tags are dynamically retrieved information through the value supplied to the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag keywords]. This information is also updated every 60 days.

An example of a keyword meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="keywords" content="spam, online scams, malware, ie addon, firefox addon, online security, free internet security, web of trust, mywot, wot" /> </pre>
 

===Reputation rating===
[[File:wot_scorecard_reputation_unrated.png|290px|thumb|right|Reputation rating section, unrated example]]
Herein lies the heart of WOT where website reputations are entered and the website is deemed to be ''safe'' or trusted, ''cautionary'', ''unsafe'' or not trustful.

The entries made in this section should be done so in an unbiased way, offering genuinely honest ratings. Ratings are cast by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot secret ballot] assuring your anonymity and maintaining your privacy. Of course, if you decide to make a publicly viewable comment, then people may associate the chosen comment category (green or red) as to ''how'' you rated.

Those who try to abuse the rating system eventually get "caught" because their selected ratings differ from the majority of the votes cast; remember WOT is a [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/anonymity-vs-democracy meritocracy]. For more information about how reputational trust is computed, please refer to this blog post on [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/confidence Confidence].

The Reputation Rating section of the website scorecard consists of four rating categories, each consisting of four elements.

====The Rating Elements====
# The ''WOT Symbol'' [[File:16_excellent.png]] displays the current reputation from the aggregated result of all prior ratings. For more information, please refer to the website support section for [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols WOT symbols]
# The ''Rating Description'' simply identifies the category of the website's reputation that you are rating. This is a text label that is translated into the language that you have your preferences set to.
# The ''Rating Bar'' [[File:wot_scorecard_rating_bar.png]] is how you transfer your experiences with, or opinions of, the website you are rating into the WOT reputation system. A small white bullet   •   appears when you choose to edit and hover your mouse over any of the rating bars. If you have previously rated the site, the bullet is positioned at your last value upon viewing the scorecard. The rating bar consists of five colorized sections, each represents a group of values that determine the score for the category being rated. These five sections are textually labeled as (from left to right):
#* Very Poor
#* Poor
#* Unsatisfactory
#* Good
#* Excellent
# The ''Confidence Indicator'' [[File:Wot_scorecard_indicator.png]] Confidence tells you how reliable the rating system considers the reputation. The more small human figures there are next to the reputation, the more reliable it's considered. The add-on uses confidence values as thresholds for warnings. If the confidence is not high enough, you won't see a warning even if the reputation is poor. Also, if the confidence is very low, the site appears as [[Unrated_scorecard|unrated]] until the confidence reaches the minimum threshold.

#: [[Scorecard#Low_confidence_banner|Low confidence banner]]
 

===The Rating Categories===
— officially explained on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support section] of the website and consist of:
====Trustworthiness====
Can you trust this site? Would you share it with family or friends? Have you had a pleasant experience? Is it worth returning to? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then it is worth rating as Excellent. If you answer "no" to one of these questions, then it is worth rating Good. The lower amount of "yes" answers to these questions, the lower the rating becomes.
====Vendor Reliability====
Generally represents a site that has a product to sell and whether or not you had a positive shopping experience, as mentioned on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support page,] but what if there is nothing to purchase, should this be left unrated? That would depend upon what the product is that the site has to offer. It could be a free item, so there is no financial purchase. One example could be a blog, forum, or news site whose product is information; is this information factual, or it is biased, or worse is it pure fabrication? Software download sites, some mirror the author's product, some link to the authors download page, others repackage the author's product and include Adware, Spyware, or possibly Malware. Other aspects of reliability is how well the site is designed or built. Could you consider the site to be reliable if it has flaws in it's design? Would you trust making a financial transaction if the site utilizes faulty JavaScript for example? Many things can determine how reliable the site and/or it's owner(s) are.

====Privacy====
Can the website be trusted with your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card information, or other [[Personally_Identifiable_Information_(PII)|Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]? Have you subscribed to a newsletter or email list and then started receiving a large amount of Spam? If you experience no abuse, then the site is worth an Excellent Rating. This is where personal experience should be used for rating purposes. Exceptions would be, for example, verifying phishing schemes or submitting Spam sites.
====Child Safety====
Is the website safe for young children? Does it consist of adult related material such as a political forum where participants are engaged in swearing? Is it a gaming site whose age group is for 15 year olds or older? What about a musician's site where the music (and lyrics) are recommended for mature audiences? Does the site contain pornographic material? Base your ratings for this category by asking yourself, "Would I allow my child to access this website?"

 

===Comments===
[[File:Wot_scorecard_comment_section.png|300px|thumb|right|Scorecard comment section for site with no comments]]
Comments provide more information, but '''do not affect ratings'''.

Currently a maximum of three (3) comments, using different comment categories, are allowed per scorecard per user, including comments made via the [[mass rating tool|mass rating tool]].

Comments were not originally intended to exist and were included based upon user feedback in the early stages of WOT testing. For more detailed commentary concerning comments, please refer to this blog post: [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/against-textual-comments Against textual comments].

====Request a comment====
[[File:Wot_scorecard_comment_request.png|200px|thumb|right|Request a comment]]
''note:'' this option is available only for website owners

Request a comment is displayed on the left side of the Scorecard at the top of the Comment section. Its purpose is simply to request other members of the WOT Community to offer a comment for the website. Comment requests are tagged and posted on the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community] page of WOT's main website. Clicking this option toggles your request, meaning if you click once, you're requesting a comment, click again and you remove that request. If you decide to add a comment yourself, this option disappears.

====Add a comment====
[[File:Wot_scorecard_comment_add_opened.png|300px|thumb|right|Add a comment]]
Add a comment is displayed on the left side of the Scorecard at the top of the Comment section.
Clicking it toggles the opening or closing of the Add Comment subsection.

When entering a comment for a website you are presented with two elements both of which are required to save your comment. These are the comment category and the comment text.

The comment category is a drop-down menu where you decide which classification you would like your comment associated with. The current selections available are:
<blockquote>

====Comment listing====
As comments are made they appear in list form displayed as single line entries. Clicking on the comment opens its entirety. As the author of the comment, you have the options of editing or deleting your comment.

==Locked scorecards==
Scorecards are a component of the WOT website and may be locked when certain abuse is detected (through the website). When a scorecard is locked, you'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|''WOT has detected unusual behavior on the scorecard and new ratings have been disabled.''
|
[[File:Scorecard_lock_notification.png]]
|}

Though rating via the scorecard has been disabled, comments are allowed unless otherwise notified.
You may still rate domains having a locked scorecard through the add-on by using the toolbar pop-up [[Rating_window|rating window]].

==Low confidence banner==
Scorecards may display a low confidence banner. You'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|"This site's rating has low confidence. Please leave your rating."
This banner will display and the the reputation will not show when the ratings are not [[Reputation_and_confidence_values|confident]] enough.

Unrated scorecard

Nova7: showing the link name as user's reliability (to specify that it's not referring to reputation reliability--confidence)

WOT reputations are ''dynamic'', they constantly change with both user input and no input; input is defined as ''ratings'', remember [[FAQ#Ratings_vs._comments|comments are not ratings]] which have no affect towards the reputation.

User ratings have different ''weights'' which is determined by the [[Rating reliability|user's rating reliability]]. Once a rating is recorded, it will slowly begin to "fade away" meaning the weight starts to lower.

When a user revisits a site scorecard (IP or domain name) that the user previously rated, there is no effect unless their rating is re-saved (changed). The user's re-saved rating is recorded as a refreshed rating; the user's rating weight is refreshed, the user's "time clock is reset". Users having access to the [[Mass_rating_tool|mass rating tool (MRT)]] can rate multiple domains with "one click" each rating is counted as new and the "weight drop-off clock" starts.

If the user makes a single visit (or only one rating via the MRT), then ''in time the weight will drop so low that it '''no longer has an effect''' on the reputation''.

Sites which are not often visited by WOT users, see: [[Scorecard#Popularity|scorecard popularity]], can return to an ''unrated state.'' This is especially true for domains which are rated by use of the mass rating tool; seldom are domains rated more than once by the same user.

note: please do '''not''' offer these domains any ratings based upon their being referenced in this article, they are ''examples'' only.

<blockquote>This site was in four [[Trusted_Sources|trusted sources]] between 2009-2010: hpHosts, DNS-BH, Malware URL, and Panda's malware blacklist. It was removed from the last one in September 2010. The poor ratings are all from the same time as evident in the screen capture. The reputation changed back to unrated around 05 January 2013 when new ratings started coming in.
 
There are ratings from 2-3 years ago, which have lost weight, and new ratings from a few days ago, which contradict with the old ones.
 
The confidence level is now below the minimum threshold and the site is therefore unrated. It will have a reputation when there are enough new ratings, or for example, if someone updates their rating.</blockquote>

The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.

== Scorecard colors ==
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall ''Trustworthiness'' (reputation) of a website. The color range is:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px;"

Though we see colors to make our testimonial easier, WOT translates these colors to numbers and with using statistical analysis to compute the individual reputation values that, when combined, generate the website's overall Trustworthiness.

Those who try to abuse the rating system eventually get "caught" because their selected ratings differ from the majority of the votes cast; remember WOT is a [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/anonymity-vs-democracy meritocracy]. For more information about how reputational trust is computed, please refer to this blog post on [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/confidence Confidence].

The Reputation Rating section of the website scorecard consists of four rating categories, each consisting of four elements.

====The Rating Elements====
# The ''WOT Symbol'' [[File:16_excellent.png]] displays the current reputation from the aggregated result of all prior ratings. For more information, please refer to the website support section for [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols WOT symbols]
# The ''Rating Description'' simply identifies the category of the website's reputation that you are rating. This is a text label that is translated into the language that you have your preferences set to.
# The ''Rating Bar'' [[File:wot_scorecard_rating_bar.png]] is how you transfer your experiences with, or opinions of, the website you are rating into the WOT reputation system. A small white bullet   •   appears when you choose to edit and hover your mouse over any of the rating bars. If you have previously rated the site, the bullet is positioned at your last value upon viewing the scorecard. The rating bar consists of five colorized sections, each represents a group of values that determine the score for the category being rated. These five sections are textually labeled as (from left to right):
#* Very Poor
#* Poor
#* Unsatisfactory
#* Good
#* Excellent
# The ''Confidence Indicator'' [[File:Wot_scorecard_indicator.png]] Confidence tells you how reliable the rating system considers the reputation. The more small human figures there are next to the reputation, the more reliable it's considered. The add-on uses confidence values as thresholds for warnings. If the confidence is not high enough, you won't see a warning even if the reputation is poor. Also, if the confidence is very low, the site appears as [[Unrated_scorecard|unrated]] until the confidence reaches the minimum threshold.

===The Rating Categories===
— officially explained on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support section] of the website and consist of:
====Trustworthiness====
Can you trust this site? Would you share it with family or friends? Have you had a pleasant experience? Is it worth returning to? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then it is worth rating as Excellent. If you answer "no" to one of these questions, then it is worth rating Good. The lower amount of "yes" answers to these questions, the lower the rating becomes.
====Vendor Reliability====
Generally represents a site that has a product to sell and whether or not you had a positive shopping experience, as mentioned on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support page,] but what if there is nothing to purchase, should this be left unrated? That would depend upon what the product is that the site has to offer. It could be a free item, so there is no financial purchase. One example could be a blog, forum, or news site whose product is information; is this information factual, or it is biased, or worse is it pure fabrication? Software download sites, some mirror the author's product, some link to the authors download page, others repackage the author's product and include Adware, Spyware, or possibly Malware. Other aspects of reliability is how well the site is designed or built. Could you consider the site to be reliable if it has flaws in it's design? Would you trust making a financial transaction if the site utilizes faulty JavaScript for example? Many things can determine how reliable the site and/or it's owner(s) are.

====Privacy====
Can the website be trusted with your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card information, or other [[Personally_Identifiable_Information_(PII)|Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]? Have you subscribed to a newsletter or email list and then started receiving a large amount of Spam? If you experience no abuse, then the site is worth an Excellent Rating. This is where personal experience should be used for rating purposes. Exceptions would be, for example, verifying phishing schemes or submitting Spam sites.
====Child Safety====
Is the website safe for young children? Does it consist of adult related material such as a political forum where participants are engaged in swearing? Is it a gaming site whose age group is for 15 year olds or older? What about a musician's site where the music (and lyrics) are recommended for mature audiences? Does the site contain pornographic material? Base your ratings for this category by asking yourself, "Would I allow my child to access this website?"

==Locked scorecards==
Scorecards are a component of the WOT website and may be locked when certain abuse is detected (through the website). When a scorecard is locked, you'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|''WOT has detected unusual behavior on the scorecard and new ratings have been disabled.''
|
[[File:Scorecard_lock_notification.png]]

Though rating via the scorecard has been disabled, comments are allowed unless otherwise notified.
You may still rate domains having a locked scorecard through the add-on by using the toolbar pop-up [[Rating_window|rating window]].

==Low confidence banner==
Scorecards may display a low confidence banner. You'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|"This site's rating has low confidence. Please leave your rating."
This banner will display and the the reputation will not show when the ratings are not [[Reputation_and_confidence_values|confident]] enough.

Unrated scorecard

2013-08-11T16:08:42Z

Nova7:

WOT reputations are ''dynamic'', they constantly change with both user input and no input; input is defined as ''ratings'', remember [[FAQ#Ratings_vs._comments|comments are not ratings]] which have no affect towards the reputation.

User ratings have different ''weights'' which is determined by the user's [[Rating reliability|rating reliability]]. Once a rating is recorded, it will slowly begin to "fade away" meaning the weight starts to lower.

When a user revisits a site scorecard (IP or domain name) that the user previously rated, there is no effect unless their rating is re-saved (changed). The user's re-saved rating is recorded as a refreshed rating; the user's rating weight is refreshed, the user's "time clock is reset". Users having access to the [[Mass_rating_tool|mass rating tool (MRT)]] can rate multiple domains with "one click" each rating is counted as new and the "weight drop-off clock" starts.

If the user makes a single visit (or only one rating via the MRT), then ''in time the weight will drop so low that it '''no longer has an effect''' on the reputation''.

Sites which are not often visited by WOT users, see: [[Scorecard#Popularity|scorecard popularity]], can return to an ''unrated state.'' This is especially true for domains which are rated by use of the mass rating tool; seldom are domains rated more than once by the same user.

note: please do '''not''' offer these domains any ratings based upon their being referenced in this article, they are ''examples'' only.

<blockquote>This site was in four [[Trusted_Sources|trusted sources]] between 2009-2010: hpHosts, DNS-BH, Malware URL, and Panda's malware blacklist. It was removed from the last one in September 2010. The poor ratings are all from the same time as evident in the screen capture. The reputation changed back to unrated around 05 January 2013 when new ratings started coming in.
 
There are ratings from 2-3 years ago, which have lost weight, and new ratings from a few days ago, which contradict with the old ones.
 
The confidence level is now below the minimum threshold and the site is therefore unrated. It will have a reputation when there are enough new ratings, or for example, if someone updates their rating.</blockquote>

[[File:wot_security_scorecard.png|300px|thumb|right|Basic WOT Security Scorecard with no ratings]]
The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.

== Scorecard colors ==
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall ''Trustworthiness'' (reputation) of a website. The color range is:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px;"
|-

|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Excellent
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | [[File:16_excellent.png]] = dark green
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | This site has an excellent reputation and the community considers it a safe and pleasant experience.

|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Very poor
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | [[File:16_verypoor.png]] = red
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | This site has a very poor reputation. Unless you trust the site owner, don't click links or enter personal or financial information. The add-on will bring up the [[warning screen]], or [[blocking screen]], when [[settings]] are at their default values.
|-
| colspan="3" style="border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray" |
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Unrated

|}

Though we see colors to make our testimonial easier, WOT translates these colors to numbers and with using statistical analysis to compute the individual reputation values that, when combined, generate the website's overall Trustworthiness.

== Scorecard components ==

The scorecard consists of several components that dynamically retrieves the information presented to you. A quick list of these components are as follows:
# [[#Thumbnail|Thumbnail]]
# [[#Help view|Help view]]

===Thumbnail===
[[File:wot_scorecard_thumbnail_dual-focus.png|thumb|right|Scorecard thumbnail with dual focus]]
The thumbnail is a captured image of the index page of a website. The purpose is to help visually identify the site in revue.

The image may be clear or it may be blurred depending upon the rating level of the Child Safety indicator. When there are poor to very poor ratings for child safety, the image is blurred to prevent viewing of possible pornographic material. The provided image displays both clear and blurred areas for example.
<blockquote>''note'': some images may not be blurred even though Child Safety ratings are poor, this is because the image was [http://www.mywot.com/forum/10972-please-report-new-scorecard-bugs-here-only?comment=92008#comment-92008 manually approved] by WOT Staff</blockquote>

This image is updated every 60 days, although for less popular sites it might take longer for the image to be updated. If you've changed your site design and notice a conflict, don't worry WOT will catch up in due time.

===Help view===
[[File:wot_scorecard_help-view_EN.png|300|thumb|right|Scorecard Help view]]
Clicking on Help View, located at the upper right corner of the Scorecard, brings up an image offering some explanation to various areas of interest such as:
* Popularity
* Server location
* Compete.com statistics
* Description
* Tags
The help view also offers hints to reputation ratings as well as mentioning about the confidence indicators.
 

===Site name===
Self-explanatory, the Site Name is the domain name or IP address of the website being rated. This also includes sub domains, for example: ''subdomain.example.com''.

The Scorecard URL generally incorporates the site name, but in certain cases it does not.
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/1935-twitter-profiles-get-ratings-and-scorecard Twitter profiles may be rated in WOT] and are given special names for URLs, while the site name remains for scorecard display. For example: ''twitter.com/Web_of_Trust'' scorecard's URL is:
http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/_p_k5swex3pmzpvi4tvon2a.twitter.com.
 

===Popularity===
[[File:wot_scorecard_indicator.png|125px|thumb|right|popularity indicator]]
Popularity is often confused with a site's overall monthly hit rate.

This is not so, the popularity icons, the "little people" that are displayed next to the Site Name are an indication of how many WOT users have visited the website.
 

===Rank===
A scorecard ranking is measured by the popularity of a website as visited by WOT users.
Many sites will have an N/A (not applicable) as their rank, if your site may fall into this ranking, don't worry about it, you're part of the majority. This is merely a demographic display and an entertaining one as well. You can view the top ten highest ranked websites by visiting the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community page] or to see more, simply open up an empty scorecard URL: http://www.mywot.com/scorecard. The ranking of websites is updated every 60 days. As of this writing, Mail.ru is ranked at number one.
 

===Owner===
The owner information is provided with a whois ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS Wikipedia]) courtesy link. Currently, the service of choice is with [http://whois.domaintools.com/ whois.domaintools.com].
 

===Server location===
[[File:wot_scorecard_flag.png|130px|thumb|right|Server location]]
For easy visual reference, mini country flags are displayed along with the two letter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code country code] to give you an idea of the location of the web server that the website is hosted on. The example image shows [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/mywot.com mywot.com] which is hosted in Finland and [http://www.mywot.com/scorecard/google.com google.com] which is hosted in the United States.

Domains sitting on multiple IP's will display the country image when all IP's share the same country as location. When multiple IP's are referenced and are located in more than one country, the ''Global'' icon is used. [[File:Flag_global.png]] [http://www.mywot.com/forum/14732-what-means-on-the-scorecard-of-avast-com-server-location-global?comment=99514#comment-99514 Example]
 

===Statistics===
Website statistical information such as monthly visitors and graphs are provided by [http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mywot.com/ compete.com] free of charge. There is much information available by this company however, registration is required to access it.
 

===Wiki===
The wiki links to [http://www.aboutus.org/ aboutus.org] that dynamically creates pages for websites from publicly accessible information such as meta tags and whois information. Once built, the pages – like any wiki – are available to be edited by the site owner, it's representatives, or anyone who visits the site.
 

===Description===
The scorecard obtains the website's description dynamically through the information supplied by the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag] from within the site's index page. In the event that no description meta tag exists, nothing is displayed. This information is updated every 60 days.

An example of a description meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="description" content="WOT is a Free Internet Security addon for Firefox and IE that warns you about online scams and risky websites that try to deliver malware or send spam." /> </pre>

To manually edit a site's description that displays on the site's scorecard, the site owner must be a registered user where they can submit the site into their user profile via the ''My Sites'' section. The site then requires verification, proving that you have root access (owner / administrator), after which the description may be changed, overriding the current META tag information.
 

===Tags===
Just like ''Description'', tags are dynamically retrieved information through the value supplied to the [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp meta tag keywords]. This information is also updated every 60 days.

An example of a keyword meta tag:
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><meta name="keywords" content="spam, online scams, malware, ie addon, firefox addon, online security, free internet security, web of trust, mywot, wot" /> </pre>
 

===Reputation rating===
[[File:wot_scorecard_reputation_unrated.png|290px|thumb|right|Reputation rating section, unrated example]]
Herein lies the heart of WOT where website reputations are entered and the website is deemed to be ''safe'' or trusted, ''cautionary'', ''unsafe'' or not trustful.

The entries made in this section should be done so in an unbiased way, offering genuinely honest ratings. Ratings are cast by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot secret ballot] assuring your anonymity and maintaining your privacy. Of course, if you decide to make a publicly viewable comment, then people may associate the chosen comment category (green or red) as to ''how'' you rated.

Those who try to abuse the rating system eventually get "caught" because their selected ratings differ from the majority of the votes cast; remember WOT is a [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/anonymity-vs-democracy meritocracy]. For more information about how reputational trust is computed, please refer to this blog post on [http://www.mywot.com/en/blog/confidence Confidence].

The Reputation Rating section of the website scorecard consists of four rating categories, each consisting of four elements.

====The Rating Elements====
# The ''WOT Symbol'' [[File:16_excellent.png]] displays the current reputation from the aggregated result of all prior ratings. For more information, please refer to the website support section for [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/symbols WOT symbols]
# The ''Rating Description'' simply identifies the category of the website's reputation that you are rating. This is a text label that is translated into the language that you have your preferences set to.
# The ''Rating Bar'' [[File:wot_scorecard_rating_bar.png]] is how you transfer your experiences with, or opinions of, the website you are rating into the WOT reputation system. A small white bullet   •   appears when you choose to edit and hover your mouse over any of the rating bars. If you have previously rated the site, the bullet is positioned at your last value upon viewing the scorecard. The rating bar consists of five colorized sections, each represents a group of values that determine the score for the category being rated. These five sections are textually labeled as (from left to right):
#* Very Poor

#* Excellent
# The ''Confidence Indicator'' [[File:Wot_scorecard_indicator.png]] Confidence tells you how reliable the rating system considers the reputation. The more small human figures there are next to the reputation, the more reliable it's considered. The add-on uses confidence values as thresholds for warnings. If the confidence is not high enough, you won't see a warning even if the reputation is poor. Also, if the confidence is very low, the site appears as [[Unrated_scorecard|unrated]] until the confidence reaches the minimum threshold.

===The Rating Categories===
— officially explained on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support section] of the website and consist of:
====Trustworthiness====
Can you trust this site? Would you share it with family or friends? Have you had a pleasant experience? Is it worth returning to? If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions, then it is worth rating as Excellent. If you answer "no" to one of these questions, then it is worth rating Good. The lower amount of "yes" answers to these questions, the lower the rating becomes.
====Vendor Reliability====
Generally represents a site that has a product to sell and whether or not you had a positive shopping experience, as mentioned on the [http://www.mywot.com/en/support/ratings support page,] but what if there is nothing to purchase, should this be left unrated? That would depend upon what the product is that the site has to offer. It could be a free item, so there is no financial purchase. One example could be a blog, forum, or news site whose product is information; is this information factual, or it is biased, or worse is it pure fabrication? Software download sites, some mirror the author's product, some link to the authors download page, others repackage the author's product and include Adware, Spyware, or possibly Malware. Other aspects of reliability is how well the site is designed or built. Could you consider the site to be reliable if it has flaws in it's design? Would you trust making a financial transaction if the site utilizes faulty JavaScript for example? Many things can determine how reliable the site and/or it's owner(s) are.

====Privacy====
Can the website be trusted with your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card information, or other [[Personally_Identifiable_Information_(PII)|Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]? Have you subscribed to a newsletter or email list and then started receiving a large amount of Spam? If you experience no abuse, then the site is worth an Excellent Rating. This is where personal experience should be used for rating purposes. Exceptions would be, for example, verifying phishing schemes or submitting Spam sites.
====Child Safety====
Is the website safe for young children? Does it consist of adult related material such as a political forum where participants are engaged in swearing? Is it a gaming site whose age group is for 15 year olds or older? What about a musician's site where the music (and lyrics) are recommended for mature audiences? Does the site contain pornographic material? Base your ratings for this category by asking yourself, "Would I allow my child to access this website?"

==Locked scorecards==
Scorecards are a component of the WOT website and may be locked when certain abuse is detected (through the website). When a scorecard is locked, you'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|''WOT has detected unusual behavior on the scorecard and new ratings have been disabled.''

Though rating via the scorecard has been disabled, comments are allowed unless otherwise notified.
You may still rate domains having a locked scorecard through the add-on by using the toolbar pop-up [[Rating_window|rating window]].

==Low confidence banner==
Scorecards may display a low confidence banner. You'll see a notification stating:
{| style="width: 98%"
|- valign="top"
|''This site's rating has low confidence. Please leave your rating."
|}

Nova7: Unrated scorecard wiki, with two conflicting sentences.

c۞g, in the [http://www.mywot.com/wiki/Unrated_scorecard], I'd bring up the point of some confusion I had with the article. Paragraph three seems to say two conflicting statements.

"If the user who rated the site (IP or domain name) revisits it, the ratings are refreshed; rating weight is restored, the "time clock is reset." [Refreshed automatically only by re-visting the scorecard? That's not what the next sentence in the wiki paragraph says.] Visiting the site's scorecard has no effect with how a user rated that site unless they edit, change, and save their ratings which are recorded as new."

I suppose that could be stated instead as (not knowing the inner hidden working of the "time clock reset", I don't know):

When a user revisits a site scorecard (IP or domain name) that the user previously rated, there is no effect unless their rating is re-saved (changed). The user's re-saved rating is recorded as a refreshed rating; the user's rating weight is restored, the user's "time clock is reset".

(Not knowing the inner working, I don't know if the "re-saved" means a rating has to be re-saved or rating changed and re-saved).--[[User:Nova7|Nova7]] ([[User talk:Nova7|talk]]) 15:13, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
