Hello element14 Community Members!
We want you to know how much we value the problem-solving, innovations and creativity you bring to the element14 Community. As a way of thanking you for all that you do, we've developed a system for recognizing you and your contributions in front of your fellow engineers and hobbyists.
You may have noticed that each of you who have joined the element14 Community has an icon on your profile to identify the level of status you've reached. Each member starts out as a "Level 1: Coulomb" with 0 points. You earn points by participating in the Community. You may also complete missions that allow you to earn badges that you can display to showcase your level of expertise and achievements within the Community to your fellow members.
Below you’ll find a list of the available levels, the actions can earn you points and available missions for you to complete to earn badges.
We are still working on this system as we move from Nitrostudio's Bunchball platform to Verint and rebuild the system from the ground up!
What do you get for earning points?
We will regularly review members who have demonstrated a high level of participation and contribution. Upon meeting select criteria (Becoming a Top Member of the element14 Community), element14 Community invites the members who have established themselves as influencers, mentors and thought-leaders to join the "Top Members group". The Top Members are a respected group of people who are given access to a part of the site where they participate in exclusive activities and interactions, get sneak peeks at new content and features, interact with members of staff and shape the future of element14 Community through voting on and consulting on future features.
Earning points also shows staff how active you are on the website and can be used to steer decisions as to whether or not you're selected for a RoadTests or a Design Challenge.

Are these all of the badges available?
No, a great number of these badges are now archived since our great website migration as we moved from Jive to Verint in November of 2021. However we're always looking to create new achievements and badges that community members can earn! Congratulations if you were one of the lucky members to have been a part of the Community for the past 10+ years to get these elusive achievements!

| Points for Activities |
Below you'll notice a list of the points awarded for each activity completed in element14 Community. Points help you climb to the next level in the Community.
We will adjust and change these points, and they can be revoked or added retro-actively to keep balance to the force. We won't reveal the points of every action to you.

| Active Badges and Missions |
You may also notice that some members have special achievements/badges. These badges are meant to help you easily identify Community members with specific qualifications more easily or reward a member for a special achievement. Some have been acquired from special events or by being helpful to other members or members of staff, or perhaps are related to an in-joke! Sometimes you also get points with them.
