Members earn points for taking part. Points can be traded for AI credits or extra storage.

Warning: every point value and reward price in the code is an unapproved placeholder, not approved. The site owner sets the real values in Settings. This article names the actions but gives no numbers.

Tap the progress banner at the top of the community browser, or open your profile from My Account. You will see your level, a progress bar, “points to spend”, a streak counter (days in a row), ways to earn, badges, and recent points.

The profile lists each way with its current value and a daily cap where one applies. The list covers:
– Daily visit (once a day, and it builds your streak)
– Your first design, and each new design
– Sharing a design to the community
– Each like you receive
– Each comment you write
– Answering an “Ask for ideas” post
– Your first Plant ID, and each Plant ID
– Sharing to social media
– Completing your profile with a photo and bio (once)
– Your first AI design (once)
– Each 4 or 5 star rating you receive
– Each new follower

Some are once only. Others stop at a daily limit. The same like or rating is never counted twice. A banned member earns nothing.

There are seven levels based on lifetime points: Seedling, Sprout, Gardener, Green Thumb, Landscaper, Master Gardener and Garden Legend. When you cross a threshold you get a notice. Spending points does not lower your level.

Badges unlock automatically. Locked ones show a lock and how to earn them:

1. Open My public profile on your profile page.
2. Pick a Name style: Classic, Leaf green, Gold, Blooming gradient or Legend glow. Higher styles unlock with levels (Legend glow also unlocks with the Top Designer badge).
3. Pick a Title under your name from the levels and badges you have earned.
4. Save.

1. Open your profile and find Trade points for rewards.
2. Choose 1 AI credit or an amount of storage (the card shows the size and the points cost).
3. Tap Trade. A lock shows when you do not have enough.

You will see a message like “+1 AI credit added to your account.” Points spent are recorded as a negative entry in Recent points.

• The site owner can also give bonus points to a member (see [community-moderation-settings]).
• Titles and styles are cosmetic.

• “You need N points for that” means your balance is too low.
• “This reward isn’t available.” The owner set that reward’s cost to zero.
• No points arrive: the community may be off, or you hit the daily cap.

• Community moderation and settings (for the site owner)
• AI credits, storage packs and the shop
• The VisionScaper Browser: browsing and sharing designs
