| Summary: | Make uploads and tag edits contribute to account level |
| Description: | As it stands, they don’t, only comments level your account. It forces people who just want to do work to instead socialize in order to optimize their workflow (as not having to do captchas is connected to account level). Making it too strong would defeat the purpose of the levels, but 1000 total combined uploads and tag edits per level or some number like that would keep the purpose of the levels in place without forcing dedicated uploaders and tag editors to socialize to make it easier to edit tags and do uploads. |

| I second this. IMHO wiki edits and changes to tag types in Tag Listing should also count. (Full disclosure: Tag edits, wiki edits, and changes to tag types are the contributions I make here.) |

| There's no way to distinguish between constructive and destructive tag edits without human review. Having uploads and tag edits contribute to account levels would allow mass tag poisoners and spam uploaders to gain account levels. |

| I think tag edits counting towards account levels is a reasonable request to make, assuming that it's possible to implement it with some nuance. There should be heuristics that largely prevent tag poisoners from gaining account levels; how frequently do they make edits - a handful every few days or hundreds per day? How many tags are being changed with each edit - one or two, or all of them? Are the tags being added always the same? If most of their edits involve adding a large number of tags is it on their own posts or random ones? Is it the first edit to the post after upload, or is it the 20th? Did the edit include removing "tagme"? If the user doesn't meet the minimum level to avoid captchas, that means each tag edit at least requires a human to be making it. If it's feasible to consider points like the above, that would also bar tag poisoners from gaining account levels, which just leaves the tag editing introverts to benefit from the levels and help them provide useful edits more easily, after they've proven that they have good intent. |
