What are User Points?
Unlike other music sharing sites, we are based on a user point system.
Members receive user points for contributing to different areas of the site.
Points are very easy to get. This site is a community which requires you to participate, be active, be social, contribute, etc. If you are not up for this then this site is not for you.
The members are what make this site so successful. By contributing to the site you are helping yourself and helping the site grow.
Below is a list of how the point system is setup.
Posting Your Introduction when you first log in to the site gets you 5 points.
If you declined to post your intro you can go to the Introduction Area of the forum to do so.
If you do not put some effort into your introduction it will be deleted and your points will be taken away!!
Download Feedback - Users can receive up to 2 points for rating and reviewing downloads. Users receive 1 point for rating the download (start by clicking the Thumb Up/Down icon on the download page). After selecting the Overall Rating and Audio Quality Rating a link to submit a detailed review will appear. The review must be a minimum of 200 characters and is worth 1 point. Reviews are subject to administrator approval.
Downloads Area - 15 Points per download link submitted.
News - 10 Points for each news article submitted.
Reviews - 15 points for each review submitted. (Albums, Events, Software etc)
Biographies - 1 point for each biography submitted.
Referrals are worth 5 points. This means for each person that you refer to the site that registers you get 5 points for each user. (Use the Recommend The Site Link in the Site Menu)
Karma is changed via each user's profile. Karma can help you or hurt you. If someone gives you good Karma it will give you more points. If someone gives you bad Karma it will take away points. So play nice!
If you do not get any user points you will not be able to download any sets.
For each set you want to download you need to have 1 user point for each download. So if you have 20 points. You can download 20 sets.
If you receive over 100 user points you will earn "Supporter" status.
Supporters have access to a private area in the downloads section. This area includes additional sets hosted by the members.
Also the related ads on the site are not shown to those that earn "Supporter" status.
The top 100 users earn a special status as well.
When are the User Points Updated?
You will receive your user points when an admin approves your submission.
When do I earn Supporter status?
Supporter status is given after you earn over 100 user points.
If you have earned over 100 points and your status has not changed. Visit the user points page and your status will be updated.
Where do I see my User Points?
You can view your user points on the front page of the site in the upper left area. You can also view them on your site profile.
Or you can view them by visiting the User Points page.
Why am I not getting any user points for things I submitted?
When you submit anything to the site as far as content goes. It needs to be approved by one of the administrators. Please be patient while you are waiting for us to approve your submitted content.
