Understanding badges

Community badges are a useful way to track your contributions to the Community and show other members what you've achieved. They are awarded as you perform beneficial activities in the Community and help all members learn about highly valued contributors.
 

Finding your badges

The badges shown on the left side of the profile page are the most recent five badges earned:

Reputation points are a summary of all points earned in community overall. For more information about points, see understanding reputation points. You can also view your reputation points in relation to other members via the Leaderboard.

Completed milestones are displayed as a filled-in circle, while upcoming milestones will show a circular outline segment of how far along current progress is towards the next levels.

 

Earning badges

You can earn badges though some of the following activities in the community:

  • Questions asked: initial questions authored in forums
  • Answers suggested: replies marked as suggested answers
  • Replies: replies to questions
  • Likes received: likes on posts you authored
  • Likes given: likes you have marked on other posts
  • Answer was verified: answers you authored were marked as verified by the original authors or moderators
  • Verified an answer: answers you marked as verified on questions you authored
  • Flagged spam: posts you flagged as spam were approved/hidden by moderators

 

A note about badges achieved prior to the platform migration

The community migrated to a new platform in June of 2024. All badges that members previously achieved prior to the migration have been retained, unadjusted.
