VRChat Gaining Trust Rank Method

People keep asking how to gain Trust Rank when in reality it doesn’t really matter. This is a guide so people can learn how to easily gain Trust Rank in VRChat.

Understanding the VRChat Trust and Safety System

The VRChat Trust and Safety System is a system that was introduced into VRChat in 2018. It was created against the background of nuisances and rising concerns around trolls, crashers, mic spammers, and users, especially very new users engaging in less than favorable behavior, because of no initiative in sticking around the game.

The system introduced “Trust Ranks” for people to gauge whether or not an individual is “trustworthy” or not. The higher your trust rank is the more time you’ve spent with VRC. By default, some avatar features are disabled depending on trust rank.

Hours are approximations

The 6 Trust Ranks:

• Nuisance
  (This is a hidden rank reserved only for people who are blocked and muted frequently)
• Visitor – This is the rank for people who’ve just gotten a VRC account, uploading content is disabled for this rank. Approx, 0 hours
• New User – After a little sticking around you will eventually reach New User, here you get access to uploading avatars and worlds to the VRC servers. Approx, 10 hours
• User – This is the average user’s rank, and it can take a while to rank up when you’ve reached User. Approx, 50-100 hours.
• Known User – This is the final step before the highest rank, can appear as a User if they choose to do so. Approx. 300-400 hours.
• Trusted User – The final rank in the Trust and Safety System of VRChat. By default, most avatar features are active for Trusted Users. Approx, 500-1200 hours.

Methods for Gaining Trust Rank

To put it simply, Trust is gained through showing your engagement with VRChat. This can be achieved through receiving friend requests, sending friend requests, uploading content, and not getting muted or blocked.

Be aware that blocking and muting people has a negative effect on their trust rank.

• Friends – Gaining friends will add to your trust rank. Your total number of friends gets added to your trust rank, meaning if you unfriend people in masses you risk losing a rank.
• Content – Uploading public content to the VRChat servers through Unity is a surefire way to gain trust rank quickly, this shows your dedication to VRChat since you’ve spent many hours learning an annoying program to create content for the community to enjoy.
• Reporting – From what I’ve heard, it is possible to gain trust through reporting malicious content and/or content/behavior that breaks the VRChat TOS.

In conclusion, the best way of gaining trust rank at an exceptional speed is through uploading content. Specifically, public content, be it avatars or worlds, both should add quite a lot to your trust rank. Your content does not have to be extraordinary in terms of quality, but you will still have to learn how to upload content onto VRC.
