In the Tesla Club

tumblr_nahigwzu991ry46hlo1_500.gifHi guys!

 

I just wrote a reply to a discussion, and noticed that I'm now in the Level 8: Telsa club! If I'm honest I haven't been keeping a close eye on my points and levels and badges and such (always too busy posting the docs about getting points and levels and badges and such! image), but I wrote that quick post and there was Nikola staring back at me!

 

It also made me wonder about the general reaction to climbing levels -- do you just let them come as your points rack up naturally, or do you actively make an effort to reach the next level?

 

If you don't really watch the levels, what would make them of more interest to you?

  • Hi Spanner,

    I used to watch the points more closely as there was a list of where the points came from that allowed me to see from whom and for what they were awarded. Now the list is still there but it contains no information that is usable. The larger tiers may slow down the process but I think they push us back to what is important, paying attention to the posts, answering questions, posting blogs, and going about the purposes for which the forum is intended. When the next tier does come it is fun and feels more worth while than if it wasn't a struggle to get there. In a way the points and tier levels are like a sports teams record of wins. It is great to reminisce about past accomplishments but the real test and joy is in the next question and whether one can provide an answer worthy of a Helpful or a Correct response.

    I kind of look at the points some one has but really more likely what they have done for the comunity. Lots of points answering your own questions seems pointless and just jams the site up with trash. Helping others is worthy and deserves help in response. If I see a person doing loads of different content I'm more engendered to them rather than just the points.

    The badges like "expert" and less so "helpful" (since recent changes gives out more), indicate how others "feel" I may be doing. But I can honestly say some are more deserved than others. And without asking sometimes, they can be hard to earn. Maybe another badge can be given for the desired behaviors. I noticed a blogger badge given out to some folks. How did they get/earn them?
