Awarding badges and points

You can award other community members a badge to recognize their contributions, and even give them some of your status points.

You can celebrate and thank other community members by awarding them badges, and optionally some of the status points you've earned yourself. Badges show up on the Rewards page, and the community member receives a notification that explains why.

To hand out a badge and optional points:

  1. Click Rewards in the main navigation menu.
    You can see the available badges on the Badges tab.

    Alternatively, you can go to the user profile and select Give badge from the Actions menu.

    Or @mention them in a content item or comment and select Give a Badge in the context menu.

  2. Select a badge.
  3. Start typing a person's name in the Give to field, and select their name.
    You can only give one person a badge at a time.
  4. In the optional message field type a brief thank-you message, or explain why they're getting the badge.
    For example, you could type "Thanks for answering so many customer questions!" This message is shown on the Rewards page and in the notification the user receives.
  5. If you want to give points with the badge, move the points slider.
    Points will be removed from your community total and added to theirs. Point levels will affect leaderboards, but won't affect any missions that have already been earned.
  6. Click Give Badge.
