At the implementation of the system, all citizens begin with 1000 points. Scores can drop to 600 points and can increase to a 1300 point max.  Scores are raised by completing charity work, taking care of elderly family members, impacting neighborhoods in a positive way, donating blood, helping the poor, maintaining a good financial credit record, and cleaning up litter around the community. Actions like traffic offenses, jay-walking, illegally protesting, neglecting elderly family, theft, spreading rumors, speaking out against the government, and cheating in academics or online games are frowned upon and result in score reduction. 

The blacklist consists of individuals that have a low credit score, violate community norms, or misbehave in the workplace. The blacklist is a serious punishment that can take between 2-5 years to obliterate from a citizens' record and puts individuals on a list that prevents them from using societal resources. In 2019, 23 million people were blacklisted from traveling by plane or train due to their low credit score. Don't worry though, it is not just common people on the blacklist. China blacklisted 88 celebrities in 2021 for violating moral standards. The system promotes fairness to everybody on the side that is being watched!

Becoming blacklisted can have effects on an individual's children as well, incentivizing parents to act as good role models. For example, a student in 2018 was denied entry into university because of his father's position on the blacklist. His future was decided because of his father's status. In addition to universities, employers can see blacklists and will make their employment decisions accordingly. 

This information is shared to show the lasting and harmful effects of misdemeanors and a low score. However, this is all avoidable if citizens act morally! More information about the blacklist can be found here.
