Contributor level
#1
I really like the idea of measuring contributor level to reduce leeching, but I wish I knew more of how it actually worked or was counted.

Also, I recently used credits to unlock a post with some content I was hoping to see, but apparently my contributor level is too low, so I still can’t access it.  Are those credits now lost?  And is there a way to see beforehand what level is needed to access content?

The way I understand is that credits are used to unlock posts. Once you have "paid" using credits, that content is unlocked forever. Also that post will become available to you once you get your contributor level out of the red.

Ok without going into too deep an explanation, because the precise algorithm is a trade secret, let me break down how the "Contributor Level" is calculated.
  • You get Positive Points for Making a New thread

  • You get Positive points for replying or making a post in the NON-Leaks Sections

  • You get Positive points for every single like you receive on your posts

  • You get negative points for making a post in a leaks section. This includes Nudes/Social Content Etc.

  • Viewing Threads has ZERO effect on your rating.

  • Buying or clicking links has ZERO effect on your contributor rating


This rating is simply a measure of how much you have contributed to the site. Making a reply to "get points" to unlock content is not contributing. Making general discussion in non-leaks section is. The gains from posting content ie. Making Threads is much higher than making posts. Making spam posts just to "get points" simply to unlock content is not contributing. This is why a lot of users who simply sign up, make a lot of posts in the Leaks Section just to see thread contents, have very low contributor ratings. The system uses custom metrics to detect how much a user has actually contributed to the site. Which is why, you can bypass it completely by Upgrading your account, which is an entirely different way to "contribute". 

All in all, it is just another way to keep the site clean from scrapers, and spammers, and unlike many sites, our links stay up longer, because of these measures. I hope that clears things up.

Great explanation, thank you!

And I agree, it’s a good system.

Thanks Lucifer for the clarification, now everything is clear

I do think it’d have been good to know the negatives about going into the red prior to doing so.

Thank you for the explanation. Much more clear now. Maybe post this somewhere else so everyone can see it?

Thanks for the explanation, still sort of unclear how credits relate to reputation though, is it just 1 credit per positive post?
