Why i am still level 0?

[Rarii]

I have the pillar of comunity badge and i'm stil level 0.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?

It seems Steam tends to use the privacy settings to determine whether or not people can see your Steam level, and I noticed that people on my list whose profile are private or friends only, they can appear as level 0 to me.

your pillar of comunity badge only give 100 exp that not enought to be level 1
you can see your progress in the badge section.
your need 100 more exp to be level 1

You have to buy a game from Steam
Before you do so, you will stay a level 0, these was made to block spam bots, from adding and taking the community crazy as used to be in the past

Gifts, Keys are not going to get the account not limited
You can buy any game that is on Steam no matter if its a 0.1$ or what ever

ok I see the problem here

you have a level and badges have level too

for example if you complet the TF2 badge it ill give you 100 exp for each time you complete it up to 5 time for 500 exp. the badge will say it is level 5 and YOU YOU wil have gained 500 exp(5x100)

the comunity badge can be partialy done(like you) level 1 100 exp . but if you do the remaining 4 objective the badge will be level 2 and you will gain a extra 100 exp again. that will make 200 exp 2x100. that enought for your profile to be level 1 profile level 1 require 200 exp and you only have gathered 100 atm

the comunity badge say 100xp to be level to but that for the badge itself not your profile level.

i bought it from a store and enetered the product code a friend did that too and he got xp and i didn't

[Rarii]

so the steam counts a friend's product code as he bought the game and it doesn't count my product code

[Rarii]

No. It means you've not bought anything on the Steam store. Most community functions don't become active until you actually buy something on the store itself. Merely redeeming a code from elsewhere no longer counts.

If your friend has a Steam level above 0, it is evident that he has bought something from the Steam store itself.
