We've been busy fine-tuning our member rating system, and
it's finally live! You can now earn points for actively participating in the
Connection community, and the points you earn can eventually add up to a new
ranking.
Want to know how the system works? All the details are
listed below, but it's really quite simple: Anytime you post, reply to a post,
receive a star rating for your own post, or rate someone else's post, you earn
points. You also earn when someone picks your post as a Favorite, or when
someone chooses you as a Friend.
See how that works? It's not all about quantity – it's just
as much about quality, and about how you're contributing to our community.
Enjoy!
