Ranking Overview

What

The short phrase that appears with your username in your posts is your rank in the community. 

Why

Ranks are used to reflect the volume, quality, and impact of your contributions to the community.  At first, logging in and reading posts and blog articles in the community drives your ranking. 

As you move to higher levels, the interactions with your fellow community members are weighted much higher in your ranking.  Rather than just reading posts and articles, adding new information or suggested solutions, feedback to and from fellow community members (Kudos or Accepted Solutions) have increased impact on your ranking. 

You can help a fellow community member move to a higher rank by marking a post with a Kudo, and if the information in the post solves your issue, please consider marking it as an Accepted Solution.  Your peers in the community will do the same for you. 

How

The community has a distinct set of ranking steps which recognize your strengths in collecting, contributing, or offering advice within the threads on which you participate.  It is not unlike climbing a series of ladders, each of which rewards a particular contribution style. 

You will begin as a “New Member”, and depending on how often you visit and what you contribute, will move through the following rankings:

New Member

Occasional Visitor

Visitor

Frequent Visitor

Regular Visitor

Established Member

Senior Member

Through your contributions to the community and recognition thereof, you will enter the next part of the ladder:

Occasional Collector

Occasional Contributor

Occasional Advisor

Collector

Contributor

Advisor

Frequent Collector

Frequent Contributor

Frequent Advisor

Regular Collector

After navigating these steps, you will progress to the “Super User” part of the ladder:

Outstanding Contributor

Acclaimed Contributor

Re: Ranking Overview

The purpose of our ranking system is to reflect both the level of participation, and its value to the Community at large.  Not only will a higher rank encourage increased engagement, but it also reflects a growing reputation. 

The terms like "Visitor", "Collector", "Advisor", "Contributor" reflect advancing levels of participation.  It is not just how often you visit the Community, how many posts you have, but the impact those posts have on your peers' success. 

All of these elements go into the ranking system.
