So, I posted my latest plane, which is my favorite, took quite a while to build, and it got 1 upvote. One of my previous posts was literally just a xml edited bomb which didn't even have a custom shape, that took me like 5 minutes to make, and it got like 12 upvotes. What did I do wrong? Can someone explain?
You were funny, SHAME ON YOU!
@32 wait on lmao I confused you with @RepublicOfCursedPlanes lmfao it’s happening I’m losing it
Let me just lay this down.
Moral of the story
Your previous post got more upvotes than your most recent?
So what?
Keep building, keep moving up, get better if you know you still can.
Anyway, upvotes on this site are weird, just make a unique plane with a cool custom thumbnail (maybe a teaser if you’re feeling really good about a particular build) and the updoots will come to you. Also, gain reputation on the site and you’ll get more followers and more people visiting your profile.
@Graingy idk what the Bleached Realm is, but it definitely sounds like something I would have sitting in my unlisted posts
@Numbers2 facts
Don't go by how many upvotes you get or how many downloads you get see the main thing is that you do it cause you enjoy uploading what you build not what others think.
But lets say you want to be a platinum user ok well heres somethings you need to learn and do
1. The algorithms of how to come from a new build into the hottest build.
Buildup your reputation: See people will overlook your builds if you dont build reputation to it and you must earn your name in this community it's competitive, tough and hard but those who given in and give up will never succeed and have always failed.
Learn new building methods and keep up with trends: See with the fuselage pieces learn what you can make the most out of them and take the new update VR by storm because your keeping up with the trends and it gets to an even wider community!
Ok so this will take time to learn and do but put effort into your builds so take note of how your planes handle during flight, take note of details of how things look, learn how to code to do the XML modding to make really cool things, find your building style and stick to it see ik that some users are more into building cars and boats and stick to that or you'll have other users building Fighters and Bombers and build that reputation up such as me I figgured that Stealth Fighters might be a workable thing for me or another user is @MrSilverwolf he's specialty is building General Aviation Aircraft or @Jamesplanesii for STOL Planes.
Once you've figgured out a thing or 2 join a challenge: Your specific answer to your question people have a build challenge where the best or those who want to have fun putting the skillsto the test make a plane or build and it gets judged by the host whom has put out specific rules and requirements for a plane or whatever ect and will rate it and give feedback which can be used as pointers to where you could improve in and if you win you get prizes and it builds up your reputation at the same time and even if you do build a grate plane that loses ppl will see and will still upvote and so you still gain that reputation.
@Whatamievendoing

And that's also ignoring the Bleached Realm, which is unlisted courtesy of @32
@QazEEqaZ ah
@ComradeInCommune white rank= VR curated
You should make your thumbnails better
Me, I just posted a teaser with reshade and it got 8 upvotes for just a forum so I assume the same would apply for aircraft thumbnails
+ it also makes your plane look cooler
@ComradeInCommune I don't really care a lot about the upvotes themselves, but they're an indicator of how much people like a build, so I'm wondering what makes people not like my stuff
@Graingy what about pissposts?
Shitposts rule this website.
Not always a bad thing, but keep that in mind.
Well...
1. Most of them are white-rank(most likely bots)
2. People will upvote what they like, and that ok if you think its underratted.
3. You should prlbably stop hoping for upvotes if you are playing for only that.
