Hello everyone,
To give credit to engaged members and experts on the Fing Community, we’ve included a system of Ranks and Badges. Here’s how to earn points, badges and ranks on the community. As we evolve we’ll be adding more ranks and badges to achieve for community experts! Stay tuned. Also, I welcome any suggestions/improvements in the discussion below.
PROMOTED CONTENT - NEW BONUS: Promoted content will get an extra 10 points! Admins will be promoting GREAT Questions and Discussions on the Devices/Security and Network Troubleshooting/Connectivity categories.
This is because we need more content in these categories - questions and discussions - to help the community grow.

Ranks

Hello @Pooh bear and nice to meet you finally!!! I've actually just processed yours. Exceptionally because of the criteria, I've got to process these myself by acting as an automation tool and so I try to be as speedy as possible!

Hi all, as so many of you are moving up through the levels and badges so quickly, I've updated the above post to reflect higher levels/badges that can be reached. I've also added in more details about promoted content and how points are given for that too. Let me know any feedback in the comments!

It's an interesting community and the badges and points system is a cool feature. How does one obtain the beta tester moniker?

@VioletChepil - You might wish to consider awarding points when someone is quoted in another comment. It is an indication of value or at least generating thought in furthering the conversation, which is what building community is all about.
