Earning Recognition with Points and Badges

The points and badges you see on our leaderboard, on community member profiles, and across our Community Hub recognize the contributions and accomplishments of each Creator. 

Points 

Point totals reflect the value you add by contributing to our community. When you ask questions, engage in conversations, and provide answers, you help strengthen our community knowledge base. 

Actions that Earn Points 

  • Answer a Question - 20 Points

    • Criteria: Your reply is marked with the ‘Solved’ checkmark :white_check_mark: on a question.

    • How this helps: Answers not only help the Creator who asked, but also those who view the question later.

  • Indicate an Answer ✔️ - 10 Points

    • Criteria: You mark a reply as ‘Solved’ to indicate the answer to your question.

    • How this helps: Provides clarity on which reply solved your question and focuses replies to other questions that need answers.

  • Create a Post/Question/Idea - 5 points

    • Criteria: You create the original post. Either a question, idea, or just a regular post (blog, something interesting to share, or a non-question conversation).

    • How this helps: You add value when you share your experience with others. More details.

  • Receive a Like 👍 - 5 Points

    PAUSED as of APRIL 1, 2024 - This has been disabled while we sort through an issue with our point system. 

    • Criteria: Another Creator likes your post or reply. You won’t get points for liking your own post. 

    • How this helps: Great questions and helpful replies adds to our knowledge base. Likes signify that others agree or find it helpful, providing valuable context for those who read the thread.

  • Reply to Post - 3 Points

    • Criteria: Reply to questions, ideas, and other posts in the community. We want you to engage in the conversation and help others. Don’t be shy - leave a reply!

    • How this helps: Questions don’t get answered without replies. Replying also helps others know that others have seen their post and are here to help. 

  • Give a Like 👍 1 Point

    PAUSED as of MARCH 28, 2024 - This has been disabled while we sort through an issue with our point system. 

    • Criteria: Like any post or reply with the thumbs up icon.

    • How this helps: Likes show the community that you agree or find the content helpful. This also lets others know that their question has been seen and others find it relevant, even if you don’t know the answer. 

Bonus Points for Larger Contributions

See below for community contribution badges that come with large amounts of bonus points. These contributions, like speaking on events, typically require a larger time commitment and thus come with bonus points to match.

Additionally, we will occasionally run community engagement challenges with special bonus point incentives. Follow our Updates blog for announcements and details.
