If you have stumbled across us at World Weather Skool, and are wondering how it all works, this will help. Have a read and all will hopefully become crystal clear. 💯 Points You earn points when other members like your posts or comments. 1 like = 1 point. This encourages users to produce quality content and interact with other members in their community. 2️⃣ Levelling Up When you first signup, you will start at Level 1. To level up, you get points awarded when you post and receive likes on your posts. Getting to Level 2 (5 posts) will allow you to post your own threads, and have access to other stuff in the Classroom. As you gain points, you will continue to level up. Your level is shown at the bottom right of your avatar. The number of points required to get to the next level is shown under your avatar on your profile page. Level 1 - 0 points Level 2 - 5 points (you can then post threads) Level 3 - 20 points Level 4 - 65 points Level 5 - 155 points Level 6 - 515 points Level 7 - 2,015 points Level 8 - 8,015 points Level 9 - 33,015 points 🗣️ Chatting with other members At Level 2 you will be able to chat to other members. We leave it to Level 2 because spammers tend to join groups and solicit the membership by DM, unseen to admin, without posting or contributing! We obviously don’t want that, and neither do you! 😡 👮 Rules The rules are pretty simple. View them here before you start to post. 🔢 Posting Categories Every time you post, it will need you to select a Category. We have 8 of these to choose from. Just pick the one your post fits best. 📣 Updates (from me) 🤝 Introduce Yourself (your first post should go here) 🗣️ Discussions (general stuff) 😂 Fun (have a laugh) 📸 Photos (show us your pics) 🌦️ UK Weather (self explanatory) 🌍 World Weather (everywhere else) 🚨 Climate Change (THE topic of discussion) ❌ Non Weather Topics (other things to talk about) 📚 The Classroom This is where our Courses and Articles live. Check it out to see what is available. Everyone should read the Weather 101 material, as it gives a good grounding in weather topics.
