Levels and rewards: valuing activity without encouraging spam
Experience sources, cooldown between gains, excluded channels and reward roles: a level system that rewards participation, not flooding.
Levels make people want to come back and take part. Badly tuned, they also push some to send empty messages to climb. It all comes down to a few settings.
Where to find the page
Levels isn’t in the menu so it doesn’t clutter servers that don’t use it. Press Ctrl+K, type “Levels” and open the page.
The settings that matter
- The cooldown between gains: it’s what makes spam pointless. Ten messages in ten seconds earn as much as one.
- Sources: messages, voice, or both.
- Exclusions: bot channels, command channels, roles that shouldn’t progress.
- Reward roles: a role at certain levels, placed below Spider’s.

Spider is free to add. Set it up in a few minutes from the dashboard.
