Scoring and ranks
How points and contributor tiers work. Earn points for approved postboxes and corrections; climb the leaderboard.
How you earn points
You earn points for each approved postbox you submit (points vary by reign and type: rarer = more). You get 5 extra points if your submission includes a photo, 5 points per approved correction, and 5 points for adding the first approved photo to a postbox that had none. Only approved (or imported) postboxes count; pending and rejected submissions do not earn points.
Contributor tiers
Your total points determine your tier (Newcomer, Enthusiast, Regular, Established, Trusted, and so on up to Definitive Reference). Your tier is shown on your profile and on the Leaderboard. Higher tiers reflect greater contribution to the map.
Leaderboard
The leaderboard ranks contributors by total points. You can filter by time period (all-time, monthly, weekly) and by reign. It's a great way to see how you compare and to celebrate top contributors.
