Whether you’re a seasoned participator in the Verizon Community or just joining us, there are a couple key ways that you can see your participation pay off!  Here’s a primer on two key Community features: Ranks and Badges.

 

Rank Up

As you contribute and participate more and more in the Community, you’ll ascend through the ranks!  Your rank can easily be found on your profile card or on your profile itself.  Everyone starts off as a Newbie but if you come back to the Community and continue to participate, you won’t be there for long!

Each rank has 3 levels.  As you move through each level, you will see a piece of the circle fill in.  Once you pass the third level for that rank, you’ll complete the circle and be promoted to the next rank!  You’ll also see this reflected in the rank progression at the bottom of your profile card, with previous ranks checked off.

As you can see from the rank progression, there are 6 ranks to level up and ascend through.  Once you complete all of the ranks, you’ll be a Community Legend!

There are many factors that contribute to your rank - in fact, pretty much everything you do while participating in the Community helps you rank up!  Creating a new post, commenting on someone else’s post, receiving likes and having your post marked as a correct answer all contribute to raising your rank.

 

Badge of Honor

In addition to your rank, you can show off your Community achievements with badges!  Just like with ranks, almost every way that you can participate in the Community helps with achieving one of our badges.  You can find your badges on your dashboard right when you log in.

If you click to show all badges, you’ll see every badge that’s available!  When you earn a new badge, you will see a notification but don’t stop there, as many badges have multiple levels.  You can also see your badges in your user profile.

We hope to see you decorated with badges and rising to the rank of Community Legend in no time!  If you have any questions about ranks or badges, feel free to leave a comment!
