Member Levels
BestEverAlbums uses a points system to determine the functionality that is available to each member. The more points you get, the higher your level will be, and the more features you will be able to use.
Member points can be gained in all sorts of ways: by assigning ratings, leaving comments, participating on the forums, moderating data, and creating charts:
| Each forum post: | 2pts |
| Each comment: | 2pts |
| Each chart entry: | 1pt |
| Each mod update: | 1pt |
| Each rating: | ½pt |
You can find a detailed breakdown of the points total for each member on the user stats page.
The following table shows a comparison of the different levels on BestEverAlbums, and the functionality available to each:
