User Progression on VerseDB

Overview

VerseDB encourages community contributions while ensuring accuracy and reliability. Our progressive trust system rewards quality contributions, allowing users to advance from new contributors to trusted editors and even moderators.

This guide explains how contribution quality impacts progression, what it takes to join the moderation team, and the recognition system for valuable contributors.

Path from New Contributor to Trusted Editor

Users progress through the following trust levels based on contribution history, accuracy, and engagement:

🟢 New Contributor

• Can submit new edits (pending moderator approval).
• Can participate in discussions but cannot approve edits.
• Gains basic reputation for approved contributions.

🔵 Verified Contributor

• Has 5+ approved contributions with good accuracy.
• Can submit minor edits without full review (e.g., formatting, typos).
• Gains the ability to flag incorrect data for review.

🟠 Trusted Editor

• Has 50+ approved contributions with high accuracy.
• Can edit and approve minor content changes.
• Gains access to advanced data tools (batch edits, bulk tagging).

🔴 Senior Contributor

• Has 250+ approved contributions with consistent quality.
• Can approve most submissions except major content revisions.
• Helps resolve edit conflicts and verify disputed data.

🏆 Moderator

• Selected based on consistency, accuracy, and community engagement.
• Can approve, reject, and revert any edit.
• Has final say in edit disputes.
• Gains access to moderation tools (flagged content, contributor reports).

Requirements for Advancing to Moderation Roles

To become a Moderator, users must:
✅ Have 500+ approved contributions with exceptional accuracy.
✅ Demonstrate neutrality and professionalism in discussions.
✅ Have a high feedback score (constructive participation in edit disputes).
✅ Be nominated by an existing moderator or admin.

Moderators undergo a trial period before being granted full permissions.

How Contribution Quality Affects Progression

Advancement is not just about numbers—quality matters:

• High-Quality Contributions = Faster progression and more privileges.
• Frequent Mistakes or Rejected Edits = Slower progression or loss of privileges.
• Abusing Editing Powers = Potential removal from the system.

🚨 Repeatedly submitting false or low-effort data may result in contributor restrictions.

To encourage quality contributions, VerseDB features a recognition system:

🏅 Contribution Badges – Earned for milestones (e.g., first 10 approved edits, 100+ edits, top contributor of the month).
🌟 Featured Contributor Spotlights – Recognition in community updates.
🎖 Exclusive Access – High-ranking contributors may gain early access to new features.
🔹 Special Role Icons – Users with high reputation levels have profile distinctions.
