Top Members ?

Hi Doug,

I don't think there is a private Top Members group discussion area any more.

Yes, there's a whole group, I'm sure you're aware: Top Members

There aren't any Top Members activities or perks other than a personal blog space.

That's not strictly true. As stated in the description link you made:

• You'll be given the first refusal at testing our up-and-coming hardware and technology

Top members are considered first for competition entries (aside from quizzes) to be chosen as competitors, and for any upcoming products to test.

There simply haven't been that many at the moment due to the team restructuring.

They do have a personal blog space, but this is very seldom used.

I appreciate that this is difficult to track if you're not subscribed to each blog application in that area.

I don't mind the change or demise at all - just observing that the Top Member idea has faded.

Do you think the Top Member designation is at all useful?

Should the Top Member designation even exist and if so how should it be defined?

Are there some currently active members who should become Top Members? 

The Community team are meeting next month to discuss different aspects of the Community from its design to its campaigns and programs. Perks for Top Members and how we want to shape that is a regular topic that I bring up and I'll be bringing it up then, too.

I actually was unaware of how to get to the Top Members group in Verint - I just figured it out now because of this discussion...
