The purpose of contributor levels is to trick the human brain into transcribing meaning to something that has none.

Providing a clever way to measure someone's generosity on this site and reward them for it.

As someone very new to the site, this is what I assumed the levels were for, its to stop leechers and encourage people to give back to the community?

Leechers may roam freely as they wish. They just won't have access to level restricted giveaways which in general provide better winning odds because of having less entries.
So yes, you could say it encourages some to give something to others if the giving itself doesn't satisfy them on it's own ;)

A rich man gives a pile of money to charity. It's a lot, but he has more. A poor old lady gives a single coin. Is not much, but it's all she has.

Who was the most generous? ;)

In part I agree, some giveaway is just for people of donate for the comunity but some levels required are to high!
I am starting to create some giveaways but I dont think i will win a level 7 or more.

I thought that me getting to lvl 3 would be impossible, but now im lvl 6, so don't worry, once you start it's much easier to spend all your money on giveaways than you think that it is! ^^

A high contributor value is an indication that the person is generous if this person is rich and ultra generous if this person is poor... :o)

If you are looking for a meaningful answer with deeper meaning, I do not think I'm the guy who can give you that.
For me, this level does not matter: I'm here to give someone a game that I can and maybe that person will become at least a little happier. :)

It's a nice statistic that shows how much someone has given away. The only problem with this is when some high levels get an elitist complex due to it and start to look down on almost everyone who's not at their level.

You have a complex about noticing people having coomplexes about others having a complex. It's a complex issue.

I know quite a lot of high level users on this website.
Not one of them does look down on anyone. Maybe I havent met them yet. To me the most generous people here tend to be the most social as well.

Everyone has to decide themselves what and if they want to give. Some are able to give a lot, some don't.
I must admit by giving more you can enter what some might call the elite giveaway groups. I wouldnt call them elite myself though.

Honestly I think contributor levels are pointless, if they gave the person a bit more of a chance to win due to giving so much, it'd be nice and fair, but just making exclusive giveaways for people who give a lot of games away is kind of pointless, if they can give away so many games they don't really need any more. I'm on this site cause I can't afford anything myself at the moment and I give away extra stuff that I happen to have from bundles that I bought a long time ago or some other random circumstances. The only reason I consider making level 1 instead of just public giveaways is to avoid people who don't understand how the site works.

That's not true. Thanks to the CV system I maintain a reasonable rate to win stuff, which in turn increases your motivation to give back. If it didn't exist, every single giveaway would have 500+ entries and a lot of people would not be bothered to use the site at all.

It isn't a very good metric of generosity, but it's a neat side quest in the rpg of SG.

They're just a method to hook people into giving. Getting to Level 1 requires close to nothing, Level 2 is just a tiny bit more demanding and so on. Before you know it, you want to get to the next level and you're giving and giving. But seriously, once I run out of bundle leftovers it's going to become a trickle + some occasional unbundled stuff for my whitelist. Levels be damned.

Some kind of a reward / appreciation for your contribution to the site and making others happy...it will take me some time to higher levels but still in a way it makes doing giveaways even more fun :)

It´s is usefull to "somewhat" see, if someone does or does not actively contribute to the site, but it´s rather pointless to take the levels to serious. They way how it is calculated is debatable. They ways things find their way to tagged bundled or not is different. Things are valued less and bundled, cause "some" people on "some" places in this world could aquire it for 25% of the prices, while their contribution in restricted giveaway is still measured 100%.
If peter , paul, marry, harry and sally do group giveaways, they are very generous to each other, but not necessarily to the whole community.
If mad frogs, monochromatic aliens and other people do over and over annoying puzzles, they are generous to each other, but not necessarily to community-members that does not even know there is a discussion button on the top of the site and so on.....
conclusion:
The level-system is a very very rough way , not more not less....but it´s still a way creators could probably do giveaways with a sense of "giveback mentality"
And it´s also a way to get with a higher level of winner, more likely someone thats more familar with the mechanic how this site works and that this one knows how to do his "duty" in activating and marking......of course there are and will be always exceptions.

Nothing. It's only a little clue to see if a user is a regular giveaway maker or not, but it doesn't mean anything else.
