# Public profile

> Your Vetox profile at vetox.io/u/yourhandle — handles, privacy controls, activity, followers and the completeness reward.

Every Vetox account can have a public profile at `vetox.io/u/yourhandle` — a shareable page showing your level, Vito, reputation, badges and activity.

## Claiming a handle

Your handle is the address of your profile.

| Rule                      | Requirement                                                |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Length**                | 3 to 20 characters                                         |
| **Characters**            | Lowercase letters, numbers and underscores                 |
| **Must contain a letter** | Numbers alone are not allowed                              |
| **No long repeats**       | The same character four or more times in a row is rejected |
| **Must be readable**      | Random-looking strings are rejected                        |

<Warning>
  Your **first handle is free**, but after that you can only change it **once every 30 days**. Choose carefully.

  A released handle is held for **30 days** before anyone else can take it, and during that period only you can reclaim it.
</Warning>

## Privacy

You control exactly how much is visible.

| Setting                      | Options                         | Default  |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Who can see my profile**   | Everyone, friends only, only me | Everyone |
| **Discoverable**             | Appear in search and be indexed | On       |
| **Who can comment**          | Everyone, friends, nobody       | Everyone |
| **Who can follow**           | Everyone, nobody                | Everyone |
| **Who can see my followers** | Everyone, only me               | Everyone |
| **Who can see who I follow** | Everyone, only me               | Everyone |
| **Allow reputation**         | On or off                       | On       |
| **Hide profile viewers**     | On or off                       | Off      |

<Note>
  **Discoverable** and **visibility** are separate. Turning discoverable off keeps your profile reachable by direct link, but removes it from search and from being indexed by search engines.

  Setting visibility to **friends** shows non-friends only your identity, banner, level and follower counts. **Only me** shows nothing but your Discord name and avatar.
</Note>

### Blocking

Block up to 1,000 people. A block works **in both directions** — neither of you can follow, comment on or give reputation to the other.

| **Vito and reputation** | Balance and endorsements                                                                  |
| **Badges**              | Your [showcase](/en/members/badges)                                                       |
| **Featured servers**    | Up to 4 servers you want to highlight                                                     |
| **Activity**            | A heatmap of recent activity                                                              |

## Activity and streaks

Your profile shows a **90-day activity heatmap**, extended to 365 days on Gold.

A cross-server activity streak runs alongside it. It is forgiving: you hold up to **2 freezes**, and earn another after every **14 consecutive active days**.

## Views

Your profile counts views, with each viewer counted at most once per 24 hours.

<Note>
  The **view count** and the monthly digest are free for everyone. Seeing **who** viewed you requires Gold.
</Note>

## Completeness reward

Filling out your profile earns a one-off **250 Vito**.

You start at 40% simply by having an account, and four steps take you to 100%: add a bio, feature a server, gain your first follower, and follow someone.

<Tip>
  Every step is achievable on a free account. The reward is deliberately reachable without paying for anything.
