discussion [Site News] Activity Score System for Members+

[hathgarniche]

this sounds fine but I worry about being forced to create threads, will that not just create a bunch of useless or unused threads?

You dont need to create threads. You get points for all manner of things. You dont have to do everything, just use and enjoy the site.

Pretty much yeah. If there is ONE thing they don't want and have always tried to mitigate it's people creating nonsense threads just for points.

Activity Score System for Members+
A cleaner, fairer way to reward real LewdCorner activity​

---

LewdCorner Monthly Support
If you enjoy the site and want to help keep everything running smoothly this month, donations are always appreciated.
Every bit helps with server costs, maintenance, updates, and keeping LC moving forward.​

---

What Is Changing?​

LewdCorner is moving away from tracking exact “hours online” for Members+ eligibility.
Instead, LewdCorner will use an Activity Score system.
This means Members+ eligibility will be based on real site activity, not sitting online, refreshing pages, changing browsers, using a VPN, or leaving a tab open.

Activity Score is about real engagement, not hours online.​

---

Why We Are Not Using Hour Tracking​

Tracking exact hours sounds simple, but it creates problems fast.
Users would eventually ask:

• “Why did I only get 30 minutes?”
• “I was online for 2 hours, why did it not count?”
• “Does idle time count?”
• “Does refreshing count?”
• “Does staying on one page count?”
• “Why did my activity stop?”

That turns the system into a timer dispute.
Activity Score avoids that.
Instead of asking how many minutes counted, users can simply see progress toward Members+.

---

What Activity Score Means​

Activity Score is earned by using LewdCorner normally.
Good activity includes:

• Visiting the site
• Reading different threads
• Posting real replies
• Creating real threads
• Interacting with other users
• Receiving reactions on useful posts
• Building account trust over time

Activity Score is not meant to reward fake activity.
It is not for:

• Refreshing the same page repeatedly
• Changing browsers to reset activity
• Using a VPN to appear different
• Using multiple phones/devices to farm
• Posting spam
• Using alts to boost reactions
• Bot-like activity

---

Members+ Eligibility​

To buy Members+ through the shop, users will need to meet activity requirements.

Members+ Eligibility:
- Enough LewdCoins / Credits
- 500 Total Activity Score
- 100 Posting Score
- 75 Reading Score
- 50 Trust Score
- Account must be at least 7 days old
- No serious unresolved activity flags

This helps stop brand-new accounts, bots, alts, and low-effort farming accounts from instantly buying Members+.

---

How Activity Score Is Earned​

Activity	Example Score	How It Works
Daily Visit/Login	+5 once per day	Counts once per account per day. It does not matter if the user changes browser, phone, VPN, or device.
Reading Threads/Pages	+1 to +3	Rewards reading different content. Staying on one page to read replies is normal and should not hurt users.
Valid Reply/Comment	+10	Rewards real participation. Spam, deleted posts, or extremely low-effort replies should not count much or at all.
Valid Thread Creation	+15 to +25	Rewards users who add real content to LewdCorner.
Giving Reactions	+1	Rewards interaction lightly, but should not be farmable.
Receiving Reactions	+3	Rewards posts other users actually value.
Verified Email	+25 one-time	Adds account trust.
Account Older Than 7 Days	+25 one-time	Helps stop throwaway account farming.
Account Older Than 30 Days	+50 one-time	Rewards older legitimate accounts.

---

Important Daily Visit Rule​

Daily visit/login score should only count once per account per day.
It should not reset from:

• A different browser
• A different phone
• A different computer
• A VPN
• Clearing cookies
• Private/incognito mode

One account = one daily visit reward per day.​

---

About Idling On Pages​

Idling on one page should not be treated as a major problem by itself.
Some users leave a page open because they are:

• Reading long replies
• Going through a thread slowly
• Typing a response
• Comparing posts
• Leaving the tab open while still using the site normally

So idling should not heavily punish users.
The better rule is:

Idling on one page = not a big issue by itself
Refreshing the same page repeatedly = should not farm score
One page open forever = should not generate unlimited score
Real browsing + real interaction = counts more

---

What Will Not Earn Much Score​

These actions should not meaningfully increase Activity Score:

• Refreshing the same page repeatedly
• Opening the same page over and over
• Using multiple browsers/devices to fake activity
• Posting short spam replies
• Posting deleted or removed content
• Reaction farming with friends or alts
• Bot-like browsing patterns

This does not mean normal users are punished.
It just means fake activity should not help unlock Members+.

---

Anti-Farm Protection​

LewdCorner should not allow someone to unlock Members+ by repeating one easy action over and over.
Example of what should not happen:

A user posts 100 low-effort replies and instantly unlocks Members+.​

Instead, the system should use diminishing returns.

First 5 valid replies today = full score
Next 5 valid replies today = reduced score
After that = very little score or no score

This means active users can still earn Activity Score, but farming becomes pointless.
Diminishing returns can apply to:

• Replies
• Thread views
• Reactions
• Shop actions
• Thread creation

---

Mixed Activity Matters​

Activity Score should not be one giant number that can be farmed from one action.
The system should track different categories.

Total Score
Reading Score
Posting Score
Reaction Score
Received Reaction Score
Trust Score
Risk Penalty Score

This means users need real mixed activity.
A user should not be able to unlock Members+ by only clicking pages, only posting replies, or only farming reactions.

---

Shop Overview Display​

The shop overview should show clear progress.

Activity Score: 370 / 500
Posting Score: 80 / 100
Reading Score: 60 / 75
Trust Score: 50 / 50
Status: Not eligible yet

Once eligible:

Activity Score: 520 / 500
Posting Score: 120 / 100
Reading Score: 90 / 75
Trust Score: 75 / 50
Status: Eligible for Members+

This is easier to understand than hours.
Users see progress without needing to argue over exact time tracking.

---

Suspicious Activity Handling​

Suspicious activity does not mean instant punishment.
Low-confidence flags should be cleared or hidden automatically.
Only serious, high-confidence activity should affect eligibility.

Low confidence flag = auto-cleared / hidden
Medium confidence flag = watch only
High confidence flag = admin review
Very high confidence flag = pause eligibility until reviewed

If a user has serious unresolved activity flags, Members+ can be blocked until reviewed.

Status: Not eligible
Reason: Account activity requires review

Low-confidence false flags should not block normal users.

---

Risk Penalty​

Serious suspicious activity can apply a temporary penalty.

Total Score: 500
Risk Penalty: -100
Effective Score: 400
Required Score: 500
Status: Not eligible yet

If the flag is cleared, the penalty can be removed.
This allows the system to deal with abuse without permanently destroying legitimate progress.

---

Why Activity Score Is Better Than Hours​

Hour Tracking	Activity Score
Users argue over exact time	Users see clear progress
Idle reading can be misunderstood	Normal reading is allowed
Refresh farming is confusing	Repeated fake actions can be ignored
Feels like a timer	Feels like reputation/progress
Harder to explain	Easier to understand

Help Keep LewdCorner Running This Month
Site updates, server costs, maintenance, and new systems like this all take time and resources.
If you want to support LewdCorner this month, donations help keep everything stable and moving forward.
No pressure. Just support the site if you enjoy what we are building here.​

Final Members+ Requirement​

Members+ Eligibility Score​

500 Total Activity Score
100 Posting Score
75 Reading Score
50 Trust Score
Account older than 7 days
No serious unresolved activity flags

---

Final Goal​

The goal is not to punish normal users.
The goal is to make Members+ require real LewdCorner activity.
Users should earn eligibility by actually using the site, not by idling, refreshing, spamming, VPN/device switching, or botting.
This makes the shop system:

• Cleaner
• Harder to abuse
• Easier to understand
• Better for real users
• Less dependent on confusing time tracking

Activity Score rewards real LewdCorner engagement, not fake activity.​

So... okay, I've a couple questions, I'm REALLY sorry if these have already been asked
1) When is this being put into place (if it isn't already)
2) I have a little confusion as to what the Code and /Code means, Does that you have to meet all of the criteria, or just some of it?
3) Do you get to keep Member+ status if you already have it from the previous system, or start all over again?

Thanks, and sorry again if this has already been covered. I'll start reading through the replies now

1) When is this being put into place (if it isn't already)

It's already there, go visit the shop and look.

All of it. You need a total of 500 AS (activity score) of which 100 needs to be from posting score and 75 from reading score.

3) Do you get to keep Member+ status if you already have it from the previous system, or start all over again?

You keep what you already have, it's only for new purchases.

So donation accounts also have the same limits as well then? That is a real shame actually. Thought those bypassed some things since it was said in an earlier post it would always be that way.

Also FYI I clicked to donate anonymously I don't see anyone in the list that is anonymous so that might not be working either.

It says deadlock found when trying lock. Not really sure what that means but it didn't work.

Correction-it seems to have worked?

Ok, this thread is moving fast, so I didnt read it all but I scanned through. I think I found a potential bug.

Please note, I don't care about this, because I am already a member of anything I need. So I am not asking you to fix this for me, but showing you it might affect other users.

As far as I can tell, I am way past the required amount for this, but it is saying otherwise. If there is some hidden reason, I feel you should tell the user. If not and it is a bug, feel free to skip this post (I dont need a reply)

Basically what I am saying is I don't see why the first box here is red when it is over the requirement, but the third box is not, which is the only one that is NOT over the requirement.

Thats what I meant. It does not show a reddish tint around reading, which is the only thing I would be missing if I were trying to buy M+. It shows it around one of the requirements that I have VERY MUCH exceeded. That is where the confusion is.

This is a very good change. But I have a question regarding the first test that was done; But I have a question regarding the first test that was done; will the converted coins be converted back to their original value?

 

[Someguy001]

I didn't see it addressed/mentioned, but those of us that already have Member+ can effectively not care about the changes right? We won't get it taken away if we're not terribly active? I ask because I'm on an extended away trip and my only internet connection is my phone's hotspot and the connected is both slow and data limited and would hate to have M+ taken away.

From what ws said, if you have lifetime M+, you are grandfathered in. If you were on a non-lifetime... you may need to pay attention.

seems fair, and kinda like what we did before with the lurker hangout of just talking to each other for a few hours.
