ItHurtsGrowth
ItHurtsGrowth is the community rewards system on ItHurts. It helps members see progress, earn XP, collect badges, unlock avatars, join challenges, invite friends, and celebrate helpful activity around the site.
XP
XP is the progress score members earn for positive community activity, including daily visits, profile completion, posting, replying, comments, likes, referrals, challenges, and special admin rewards.
Daily Fortune Wheel
The Fortune Wheel gives each logged-in member one spin per day. Spins can award XP, gifts, streak boosts, badges, or special rewards selected by the site team.
Badges
Badges are visible on member profiles and member cards so the community can recognize helpful, active, and trusted members. Hover over a badge to see its name.
Levels
Levels turn XP into visible progress. As members earn more XP, they move through community ranks that show growth and participation.
Avatars
Members who do not upload a profile photo can use ItHurtsGrowth avatars. Members can unlock premium avatars with XP while still keeping the choice to upload their own profile picture whenever they want.
Gifts
Gifts are special rewards members can receive from the Fortune Wheel, admin actions, and community events. Gifts appear with the member reward history.
Streaks
Streaks reward members who keep coming back and participating. A steady streak can help members earn more XP and stay connected with the community.
Challenges
Challenges give the community focused goals, like completing profiles, inviting friends, joining conversations, or supporting other members.
Referrals
Members can invite friends with their referral link. Successful invitations can earn XP, badge progress, and special community rewards.
Leaderboards
Leaderboards highlight active members by XP and other growth activity. They help members discover community leaders and celebrate positive participation.
Points History
Members can review their XP activity, see what they earned, and understand how their progress is growing over time.
