Your level is based on how many trophies you earn. See this thread for the levels.

You have to be nominated for BYC Friend, BYC Spirit, BYC Educator, BYC Welcomer. You cannot purchase those tags or "get" them.

What threads do I have to go to in order to be nominated a byc friend?

It doesn't work like that.
Other people have to nominate you.
In order to be considered for nomination for a BYC Friend you must be kind and patient with others, friendly, offer help, treat others well and overall exhibit characteristics that create a friendly atmosphere for others that you interact with on this site.

I’ve been kind to people, helping them and being welcoming. How do I get noticed other then that then?

If it makes you feel better I only just earned my friend badge. I’ve been a BYCer 3 years.

I joined byc about a week or two ago. Why does it say I’m still (in the brooder) how do I update this. And how do I become a “byc friend” or “byc spirit”

Remember to read through the first post in the thread @sumi posted the link to.
Awards are solely nomination based. It has nothing to do with how long you are a member or how many posts you have.

The process of awards is explained there as well as the criteria for each award.

Nomination & Award Process:

1. Use this Nomination Submission Form to make your nomination, and be sure to include a brief comment on why you are nominating the individual. Nominations with no comment and only a name cannot be accepted. Please be sure you are spelling the name correctly.
2. Members may place in nomination a maximum of four (4) members per month; however, you may nominate only one (1) member per award category per month.
3. Nominations are automatically forwarded to the BYC Awards Committee. They will validate and tabulate all nominations.
4. Member must be active and in good standing in the BYC community to receive and/or retain awards.
5. Members may not nominate themselves for any award; all self-nominations will be voided. Members may not ask for nominations. Those doing so will have their nominations voided.
6. Qualified Awardees will be announced quarterly and medals given.
7. The Awards Committee, at its discretion and by majority vote, may elect to reclassify a nomination to a more appropriate award classification.
8. All nominations shall remain confidential and known only to the Awards Committee and BYC Staff.
9. The Members of the Awards Committee shall remain confidential and known only to BYC Staff.

Tips for nominating

1. Be sure you are spelling the username correctly. Please don't use the @ symbol.
2. Please be sure your nominee doesn't already have the medal you are nominating them for.
3. Please do not nominate yourself. This includes using alias accounts to nominate yourself. Self nominations will be voided.
4. Please do not tell your nominee that you nominated them. All nominations should be confidential. Please do not post about the nominations you have done on the forum. If you have questions about a certain nomination, please PM a Staff member. Confidentiality keeps everything fair and avoids hurt feelings.
5. Please do not ask for or otherwise solicit nominations. Doing so will void any nominations you receive.
