Editing User Levels (section)

===User level ratings=== 
*A rated level can have its rating removed for various reasons. As of 24 August 2026, this has happened to 704 known levels.
**Common reasons for a level losing its rating include: being verified illegitimately (such as using hacks or a secret way), being entirely copied from another level, being updated into something unrateworthy (such as being made into an empty level or immensely buffing the difficulty), and containing imagery and text that is offensive or inappropriate.
**There are also many instances of levels that were later rated again after having their rating removed.
**Only two known levels, ''Bounce'' by Toomis and ''Urban Street'' by Moonnix, were rated, lost their rating, were rated again, and lost their rating again.
*RobTop can change a level's difficulty or feature status after being rated.
*At the beginning of Update 2.1, even though the Demon rating categories were available to select, all of the Demon levels were automatically rated Hard Demon at first. 
**It was because the levels did not have enough votes to change their ratings.
*In Geometry Dash World, before the featured tab was changed, every level after #141 (WaterFall) was an NA-rated level spammed by RobTop, most being both uncommentable and unplayable. However, a couple were still playable, with a couple hundred downloads each.
*The XL length was originally named 'Extra-Long'. Update 2.0 introduced this renaming, along with a previously missing filter for searching XL levels.
*The difficulty rating icons are based on the Newgrounds emoticons.
*There have been several cases of levels' star counts not matching their difficulty faces. Currently, this is true for two levels, ''Luster'' by eopc, rated Easy 9[[File:StarA.png|x15px]], and ''Smetana'' by R4nz0r, rated Normal 9[[File:StarA.png|x15px]]. These mismatches both occurred as a side effect of being downgraded from Demon to Insane.
**In the older updates of the game, star counts below 10[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] were not locked to specific difficulty faces, and the difficulty faces could still be changed by player votes despite the levels being rated.
**The level ''Twinkle'' by Hiroquet was originally rated Demon 38[[File:StarA.png|x15px]], before its star count was lowered to 10. This happened because RobTop mixed up the level's star count with its feature score.
**In May 2014, there were briefly nine levels rated Demon 127[[File:StarA.png|x15px]]. These levels were ''korv'' by HMANN, and ''korv2'', ''wksld2'', ''eoifiojewfiojweijofe'', ''ewiofkopwefkopwekopf'', ''really hard'', ''ROBTOP FIX YOUR PHP'', ''robtop fix server'', and ''eoijfioejwfiojewiofi'' by Player. A hacker accessed the game's .php files and could rate any level with any star count. The nine levels were quickly deleted, and the exploit was patched.
**In August 2016, ''ReTry'' by Preztiyu, a Hard 4[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] level, briefly displayed as Demon 4[[File:StarA.png|x15px]] due to a hacker attack on the level.
*There were previously 15 levels that had feature rings but did not give stars. One of these levels, ''The First'' by Clatchet, was deleted sometime in 2020. The other 14 had their feature rings removed in December 2025.
*Usually, having verified coins is a perk only rated levels get, but there is one level named ''Dark Angel'' by the user Rono, which has verified coins but is not rated. It is unknown how this occurred.
**There was previously another level with this quirk, ''Hype Blaster'' by iIFrostIi. This level was rated, unrated due to a bug, and then rated again some time later. While it was unrated, it still had verified coins.
*There is one rated level, ''Small space'' by thearmyants, that gives stars despite being a platformer level. While it appears to grant moons upon completion, reloading the save data converts them to stars.
*When a player opened the comment section of a level, before Update 2.0, there was a button next to the creator's username labelled 'More'. Clicking this button lets the player view a list of the creator's levels. RobTop removed this feature in Update 2.0 because it encouraged players to create registered user accounts.
