How do activity categories and reference rules work?

Each activity category has its own anti-spam rule. Some use cooldowns per pair, while others allow one reference per completed activity.

ConXion separates completed interactions from written references. That means repeated real experiences can still count on a profile without letting the same pair farm trust with repeated written references.

Practice and Social Dance: these two share one anti-spam family. Between the same two members, they can only generate one new reference every 120 days.

Example: if you leave a Practice reference today, you cannot leave a Social Dance reference for the same member tomorrow. The 120-day cooldown applies across both.

Classes: this is the reference category used for Private Class. Between the same two members, Classes can only generate one new reference every 90 days.

Event / Festival: one reference is allowed per completed activity. The same completed event cannot create duplicate references from the same author to the same recipient.

Collaborate: one reference is allowed per completed activity. The same collaboration source cannot be used twice by the same author for the same recipient.

Travelling: one reference is allowed per completed trip activity.

Request Hosting: one reference is allowed per completed hosting activity from the guest perspective.

Offer Hosting: one reference is allowed per completed hosting activity from the host perspective.

Completion rule: references are only allowed after the activity is completed. Pending, invited, accepted-only, cancelled, or expired interactions do not qualify.

Public profile rule: profiles limit visible references per member by default. The latest visible reference from that member is shown first, while older ones are collapsed so one person cannot dominate another member's trust section.

Interaction counts: profile trust also shows interaction counts separately. This helps members understand whether someone has practiced, travelled, hosted, attended events, collaborated, or taught multiple times without turning every repeated interaction into another public written reference.
