What the contributor levels mean

The level beside a traveller's name says how much they have shared and how often it helped someone else. It is earned, never bought, and nobody rates a person: every point comes from something the traveller did.

  1. New

    Everyone starts here, from the first story or route they share.

  2. Contributor

    Needs 5 points · 1 shared stories or routes

  3. Trusted

    Needs 30 points · 2 shared stories or routes · 1 travellers who completed one

  4. Guide

    Needs 100 points · 5 shared stories or routes · 5 travellers who completed one

How points are earned

  • 5 for each story or route you share that is live
  • 1 each time another traveller starts a plan from it (counted up to a limit per story)
  • 5 each time someone completes a trip they started from it
  • 1 each time a traveller marks it helpful
  • 2 for each tip of yours that is live

Levels are recalculated from these counts. A story that is taken down stops counting.
