How does this leveling system work? Thread

Sorry I'm very new to this site and by my profile is a level. I have no idea how I increase it or what it means. I'm guessing it is how active I am, but if someone could explain or link me to a thread that probably has been previously made to explain than that would be great! Thankyou!

Levelling is simple, stay active, participate in the community and you will level-up based on the quality of content contributed and your time online. For example if you add a game and a development tutorial you will gain activity points (vice-versa is also true - spam the comments, forums or news and you will lose AP). Each day based on how many points you have earnt, your current level will be recalculated and your % complete towards the next level will be shown.

Level names are either a special title, mod, indie game, headline or something related to the site. Each headline has a meaning of some relation to the site, be it small or huge. Their order is not necessarily significant.

Thats just copy pasted but I'm sure it heaps.

Cool, thanks! Was just curious if they adding achievements in games which made you level up
