Earn 'Answer Hero' Badges for Featured Questions

Last September, we launched Featured Questions to help improve your Q&A experience. 

As a result, we’ve dramatically improved our Q&A answer rate (up 30%!) and response rate. Additionally, 140+ (57%) of Featured Questions were marked as answered, an incredible improvement on questions that had previously gone without any reply. 
 

Introducing Answer Hero Badges!

One year later, it’s time to recognize those contributing to this success and incentivize continued participation.

Now, when you provide the answer for Featured Questions, you progress towards earning Answer Hero badges. Additionally, you will receive Unqork Swag as a thank you gift.
 

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5

Finally, when you reach Level 5 with 25 answers to Featured Questions, we’ll recognize the tremendous impact you’ve made with a special Level on your profile and Community Leaderboard, as well as an exclusive Credly badge you can add to your Linkedin. 

This level shows behind your Username on your profile and on your community posts.

F.A.Q.s

• Q: How do Answer Hero badges work with Subject Matter Expert status? 

  • These are separate and complementary. You can be both an SME and Answer Hero.
  • SME status is based on total questions answered and other criteria. 
  • Answer Hero badges are based on answers for Featured Questions. 
     

• Q: Are there bonus points for Answer Hero badges? 

  • No. ...and yes. You earn these badges by answering Featured Questions, which offer bonus points for replies and answers. 
     

• Q: How can I track my progress? 

  • When you reach a new level at 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 answers, you will be notified with a message when you you receive the badge. 
  • If you want to check your status, send me a message or email community@unqork.com. 
     

• Do previous answers count? 

  • Answers for all Featured Questions count (dating back to September 2022).
  • We will retroactively award badges to those that have already earned them with this criteria.
