What are the ranks for communities.sas.com and how many posts do you need per rank?

pkfamily — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 21:17:29 GMT

Regarding this very website, does anyone have a list for the different ranks and what pre-requesites are necessary to reach them?

For example, I am currently "Occasional Contributor" and was wondering what the next rank would be. This is obviously a very low priority question haha.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

I do not know what is the purpose of looking at the rank. How it matters.

But following ranks that I have reveived are :

New contributor

Occasional Learner

Occasional Contributor

Regular Contributor

Thanks for your input! I'm just curious how far the rabbit hole goes. Also surprised that a list is not posted somewhere.

Oh, @pkfamily, the rabbit hole goes a long, long way! As a communities team, we decided not to post the rank order to allow for an element of surprise (just like we don't tell you what you need to do to move up in rank). Since we're SAS, we track everything on the community so we have it all laid out and the upward movements occur at very distinct times. But we want you to continue being involved in communities and being surprised when you achieve that next level or badge.

So, keep coming back...and let us know when you achieve the next rung up the ladder! :

Best,

Shelley

Okie Dokie! Thanks for your answer! I will continue contributing until my next anticipated boost in rank.

I doubt if @ShelleySessoms would be upset if I say that 1,000 of something likely gets a badge

Hi @ballardw, I have no problem with you saying that. In turn, I'll say it doesn't always take 1,000 of somethig to achieve a new rank. There can be surprises around every corner!
