Ranks, Levels, Badges and Reactions: How you can earn points, badges, ranks and levels on community





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.

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