Account Leveling System 1. Points and Ranks: Users earn points for various activities on the forum, such as posting, receiving reactions (likes, upvotes), and participating in community events. As users accumulate points, they can level up to higher ranks. 2. Customizable Levels: Administrators can customize the point values for different actions and define the levels or ranks within the community. This allows the community to set specific milestones and reward structures that align with their goals. 3. Progress Tracking: Users can track their progress through their profiles or a dedicated leaderboard, showing how many points they have and what they need to reach the next level. Badge System 1. Achievements: Badges are awarded for reaching certain milestones or completing specific actions. These can include both one-time achievements (like a “First Post” badge) and ongoing achievements (like a “Top Poster of the Month” badge). 2. Customizable Badges: Administrators can create and assign custom badges based on the activities and milestones that are most valuable to their community. Each badge can have its own unique design and criteria for being awarded. 3. Displaying Badges: Users can display their earned badges on their profiles and next to their posts. This visible recognition encourages participation and showcases user accomplishments. 4. Automatic and Manual Assignment: Badges can be automatically assigned by the system when users meet the criteria, or they can be manually awarded by administrators for specific contributions or achievements.
