When you click on a member's profile from the forum, it is impossible to know his XP level.
This can eventually influence trust in this member (beginner or more experienced)
Another thing when we look at the members with the most XP on Lynkoa, one member reaches an XP of 20 with 4 answers and another level 17 with the same number of responses, probably a Bug?
What is the maximum level by the way?

Hello @sbadenis
In order to be able to see the level of the members you have to go through the member box of the platform, they are not accessible from the forum profiles!
As far as the xp is concerned, some behaviors are indeed strange, we reported this bug 
Finally, the maximum number of levels for now is 50, it's up to you to play to reach it 
Hello @sbadenis
the level of XP is a function of the points gleaned, but not only thanks to the answers, you also have to look at the other factors (solutions, questions, completion of the profile, number of visits, etc.). There are also challenges that bring a lot of points!

Of course , @Sylk I understood correctly, but when I see some members with very few or no answers having an XP level between 2 and 5 times that of someone who responds regularly and even regularly gives good answers, I tell myself that it's not logical for a self-help forum.
By the way, to glean a few easy points, just go and see the profiles: 5XP per profile within a certain daily limit...

Here is an example:
And I have nothing against this person but it just doesn't seem logical to me, recent activity=0 0 answers, 0 questions...
Yes I agree that it doesn't seem logical, however seeing that they have been members for more than 3000 days, I wonder if this is not the consequence of an update of the forum. As with the current update, our reply counter is reset on the THIS forum profile.
I think I'm not far from the truth in assuming that they were simply particularly active before the previous updates, and that their number of replies doesn't reflect past activity. Maybe they abandoned the forum after an update that no longer suited them. Like what. The points will have been kept but not their activity.

No, I'm really thinking about the bug I've been a member for 3475 days, today! And I'm still well below in terms of XP. 
That's sedentary lifestyle; You're not active enough young padawan 
You may be right, but I can't help but think that there have been stat losses along the way.

Hello
The example given by sbadenis, looks a lot like a bug, everything is empty in his profile, both in terms of activity (question, answer, etc.) and presentation. Something must not have followed during the redesign of the site and the transfer to the new forum! apart from the points of course 
As far as the allocation of points is concerned, I admit that I have a hard time understanding the logic as well.

Hello
I'm not sure it's a reliable indicator, personally I'm level 7 with the number of answers given overall. After anyway I attach little interest to these points so level 7, 12, 25, 30 at the limit it doesn't matter.
The most telling thing is the number of responses and especially the number of responses that led to the resolution of a problem.

As Georges Marchais would have said, "It is a scandal that honest workers are not rewarded."
Good evening
Yes, the number of responses that led to the resolution of a problem is significant. But a lot of the people we help don't designate a "Right Answer."
There would have to be a facilitator chosen by the members who would be responsible for getting the subject closed.
That's kind of the problem on a lot of forums by the way.
Kind regards

Yes, always a little frustrating but in their defense, not all of them are necessarily very familiar with how forums work and their variable specificities. It is the responsibility of webmasters to highlight important features so that they jump out at neophytes without members having to demand action from them.
a few years ago; it was a question (with Clémentine) of creating with the VIP members a group of people with the aim of selecting the best answer to an unvalidated question and leaving it to the abounds.

Hello ladies and @ all
I prefer the idea of @ac_cobra_427 a group that would validate the best answer when the person does not select a best answer to close the subject.
However, if one of the members of this group posts an answer, he or she does not choose the correct answer.
Kind regards

I suggest that we clean up the tutorials. Let the intruders be disturbed!
Indeed, unscrupulous trainers (whom I won't name and who never participate in the forum) and other individuals have literally saturated this part with bogus tutorials whose only purpose is to encourage us to go and see their site.
Thus, the excellent tutorials of @ac_cobra_427 (to name just one of the excellent tutors) are literally drowned in a shapeless and often erroneous nonsense.
It could be the group of regular, stubborn members elected by the other members: who would be in charge of cleaning this part before it turns into an Augean stable.
This group would validate the posting of tutorials online, which would prevent it from being filled in by chat'bots and other unscrupulous pignoufs.
From my point of view, this group only aims to provide a tutorial on specific cases responding to a specific request. The goal is not to make a second youtube which is very well provided for 98.75% of cases.
Kind regards

Good idea to have a small group that will validate the correct orphan answers.
For XP points, I can't even find mine...
It's not a parameter that I look at, a newcomer on the forum can very well provide an excellent answer.
Generally speaking, unless we go back to an old way of working on the forum where points allowed you to win gifts, I am not in favor of this kind of rating which comes in addition to the much more telling statistics of the number of correct answers given.

Hello @Coralie,
I don't really understand the attribution of XP points because I have participated in challenges and I am part of groups and I have created a group?
Hello @ac_cobra_427 , this idea seems very interesting to me to set up!
We are looking to see if this is possible because it would be a question of leaving it to a certain number of people to obtain the best answers, without disturbing the choices of the author of the question.
A little survey, who would be willing to be part of this group and take up the mission of validating the best answers?
