Well no. You must get well-knowned and post some really awesome stuff. Maybe get it touch with some people and do some team work stuff, like blogs, art, mods, texture pack anything

Post good, amazing content. You get views, diamonds, favs - you get the XP you really, as it seems, want. It may take some time to go through some first levels, but then - woosh - as long as your submissions are good, you will be a high-leveled user in no time.

Mesh basically covered everything, but if you're finding it hard to get onto level 2, I wouldn't worry- The XP boundary for 1-2 is actually higher than 2-3. It's a spam filter and assures that by the time people hit level 2 they actually begin to define their submissions.


Cya round

You are correct in that matter. You only gain EXP from submissions (Skins, Texturepacks, Mods, Ect.) Though posting them will give you a little bit of EXP, You need people to diamond, view, and download your submission to get more EXP.
Please note that this does not mean you should beg for diamonds as that is against the rules. If people really like your submission or if it is really high quality and amazing, you will level up in no time.

So really, just post good quality content, and eventually, you will become popular like some of the level 70 members out there. (I have not yet reached it.)

Sorry for the long post, but I hope it helped.

I am also wondering this. I have posted a lot on the forums and do not seem to be getting any exp.

Perhaps the level up system only applies to submissions such as skins, servers, texture packs and the like?
