Template:Noticebox/officialTrust Rank is part of the Trust and Safety in VRChat, designed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all users. This system determines when a user is permitted to upload content and evaluates user behavior to calculate "Trust", an aggregate of many variables. The system is adjustable and can be tweaked as needed.

Ranks

A user’s Trust feeds into their Trust Rank, an indicator of their time spent in VRChat, content contribution, friendships made, and other factors.

The ranks they gain are as follows (lowest to highest):

Visitor Starting rank.
New User Can upload content to VRChat.
User
Known User Can choose to appear as a “User”.
Trusted User Can choose to appear as a “User”.

Special Ranks

Friends Users you have friended will have all their avatar features shown in the Normal Shield Level, and you can customize them like any other Trust Rank.
Nuisance Users who have caused problems for others and will have an indicator above their nameplate when the Quick Menu is open. Their avatars are usually completely blocked.
VRChat Team Only usable by VRChat Team members. When a member has their "DEV" tag on, their rank will show in the Quick Menu. If you suspect someone is falsely claiming to be a VRChat Team member, select them in the Quick Menu to verify their Trust Rank.

Gaining Ranks

The inner workings of the Trust system are intentionally hidden to prevent exploitation.

However, the best way to raise your Trust Rank is to engage in normal activities in VRChat, such as:

  • Exploring
  • Making friends
  • Creating content

Activities that will not raise your Trust Rank include:

  • Standing or idling in a room (AFKing).
  • Uploading a large amount of low-effort content.
  • Mass-friending large numbers of users.

TrustRank Example.png

The Safety and Trust system is designed to stay unobtrusive. A user's Trust Rank is visible only when the Quick Menu is open. This setting can be changed under "User Interface" > "Nameplate" or in the radial menu under "Options" > "Nameplates."

  • The text in the top left of the nameplate indicates the user's Trust Rank.
  • The top right of the nameplate displays the user's avatar performance rank.

Rank Transition

  • Visitor to New User: Upon reaching the New User rank, users gain the ability to upload content to VRChat if they are using a VRChat account. Users are notified of this transition and directed to the VRChat documentation page for content creation.
  • Notifications: Users receive notifications when they transition Trust Ranks.
  • Rank Display Toggle: Users with the Known User rank or higher can choose to display their rank as "User." This changes their Trust icon and text to the User Rank and alters how the Safety system treats them. The toggle can be found on the profile page below the status.
