    User Points and Access Levels

    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!

     

    Ranks

    Points

    • Post Factor – 5 points awarded to the user for posting
    • Reply Factor – 5 points awarded to the user for each direct reply to his/her post
    • Favorite Post Factor – 1 points awarded to a user each time his/her post is added as a favorite
    • Favorite User (Friend) Factor – 10 points awarded to a user each time he/she is added as a friend
    • Rating Factor – 5 points awarded to a user for each star his/her post receives
    • Rater Factor – 1 point awarded to a user for each star rating he/she gives to a post
    • Post Points: 80

    I really like the fact that this will reward people for the quality of their contributions and not just the quantity. This will really show us who is valued.

    Well sone guys. Big Smile

    Will the icon and text be updated to tie in with the badges?

    This new icon is totally separate from the badges. The Specialist badges reflect the courses taken over at Windows Mobile Training.

    That's what I thought - but I thought maybe you were an early riser - not a non-sleeper.

     

    GO TO BED !!!!
