I am almost positive there is only one number that matters for what level you are: how many people you follow or follow you. I am unduly obsessed with figuring this out, of course.

    Ha, I’m sure that’s one way! Another way of leveling up is by posting on articles because I just became more active (by commenting on the articles) on DB after a 1+ week of little to no activity, and I leveled up right away.

      I’ve been eyeballing people’s numbers when they move up and it really appears only the follows matter. Not the number of likes or the number of posts/comments/etc.

        oh thats interesting! i leveled up by posting a TON on my fan wall in the course of two-three days…but i think a lot of people also followed me because of that (and i followed them). i assumed i had leveled up because of the fan posts, but maybe you’re onto something and it was the follows. (which makes sense because ive been posting and haven’t leveled up again.)

          I really think that’s it. IF there’s a formula, then follows must be weighted really heavily.

          doh. i just leveled up, but not by following or being followed. it was after a ton (blushes) of comments on fan walls.

      I think I have leveled up right away because of I have been too active (like commenting in almost all articles) 😆 & because of likes (and dislike 😜) as well.

    That’s not the only part. Like for example the DB minions don’t have a lot of followers but the activity on their articles goes in their favour. So basically it’s all round activity throughout the site.

    Many Liar and lover beanies kept levelling up because of the no of comments and upvote on those threads, without them having a lot of followers/following people..
