Hey guys,
Happy to clear this up.
There are two separate but parallel programs in play on ShelfLife currently:
1) Collector Score/Collector Level
2) Collector Wars
The short explanation is that both are intertwined, as they both reward a broad swath of potential site activities with a bias towards folks who bring in more users, build out catalogs (ie curate), or collect like crazy (especially buying/selling). If you examine the points awarded during Collector Wars seasons, the relative weight of these things is pretty clear.
However, while Collector Wars is on a 30 day cycle, Collector Score and Collector Level are on a 90 day cycle, similar to how Klout score measures social media influence. So if you score a bunch of points, but 90 days go by, you'll start dropping, BUT there is a 3 level plateau, so if you hit Level 8 you will never drop below Level 5. The idea is to ensure high performing users are never fully locked out of reengaging at a high level.
Now at present, your Collector Wars score matters more than your longer term Collector Score/Level.
However, moving forward, when we start offering additional exclusives, they will often ONLY be available to higher Collector Score levels, which your 30 day score may not help you with.
We are also working on a variety of rewards programs style benefits to your 90 day score, including access to vendor discounts, exclusive industry events, etc.
Hope that helps!
A huge thanks to all of you who have made ShelfLife the fastest growing collector community on the planet in 2012....we look forward to blowing your minds in 2013.
James, Nick, Kiyan, Nevil & the rest of Team ShelfLife
