Learn how to earn credits through user votes and community engagement metrics.

​
Vote Credits

Every vote your server receives earns credits: 
1 vote = 0.1 credits

​
Requirements

Your server must meet these criteria to earn vote credits:
RequirementDetails
Server AgeAt least 12 hours old
MembersAt least 250 members
VoterVerified user
FrequencyUser hasn’t voted in last 12 hours
Servers below 250 members can still receive votes—they just won’t earn credits until they grow.

How It Works

Your server receives a session credit evaluation every day at 4:00 AM UTC based on the previous day’s activity:
  • Session Duration - How long users spend on your listing
  • Unique Users - Number of different visitors
  • Tier Level - Determines credits awarded
