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?

    Speaking of Level 8, I still have the Tesla sticker that cstanton gave me when we visited : ) It's awesome. I occasionally have fun checking out what badges exist (I know a lot of effort goes into devising…

    do you actively make an effort to reach the next level? No because there doesn't seem to be one. There is no real incentive to reach any level, so why would someone want to aspire to the next level. As…

    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…

    Points, levels, and badges don't mean a lot to me. They meant even less after the whole scheme was restructured. I will say the fact that clicking a button marking something as helpful, even when it wasn't your question, is as valuable as a blog post, which can take days or weeks of preparation is disconcerting. That single button click, by the person that clicked it, should be worth no more than 1 point. I can see awarding the person whose answer was marked as helpful the full 15 points. But to paraphrase "when everything is helpful, nothing is"

    Yep,it's odd that you need to engender a simple click or other interaction to the point that what you are clicking on has little or no value.

    Also what is the point of working on a substantive blog post whenit's only considered as valuable as some one elses click... In some ways the system is actually counter productive,

    Yeah, that was kind of my point. Although people would game the system by creating a blog post that says "blog post test"
