Reputation Rules
Share your Knowledge. Be Recognized.
Manage your Reputation. Strengthen your Personal Brand.
Your reputation matters – especially within a collaborative and dynamic community composed of peers, partners, and even competition. By becoming a trusted member of the community, your professional reputation and the personal brand get a significant boost.
And it’s easy to do. You have two ways to manage your reputation within Acuwize: achieve Champion Levels and acquire Badges. You may also be inducted into the Hall of Fame as you continue to help others succeed!
Champion Levels
Champion Levels are awarded for points earned through contributions to the community and establish your reputation within the community. You are awarded a Certificate of Achievement when you’ve reached a certain point level, with the option to add it to your LinkedIn profile. Because your Champion Level journey is an ongoing one, you earn points every time you post a new topic, submit an idea, comment on an existing post, rate content, get rated by other members, or providing the best answer.
| Champion Level | Champion Level | Points Required |
 | Green Ribbon | 100 |
 | Blue Ribbon | 300 |
 | Red Ribbon | 650 |
 | Bronze Trophy | 1,000 |
 | Silver Trophy | 5,000 |
 | Gold Trophy | 10,000 |
 | Bronze Crown | 15,000 |
 | Silver Crown | 22,500 |
 | Gold Crown | 30,000 |
 | Diamond Crown | 60,000 |
Badges
Badges are a way of displaying your knowledge and expertise, and you collect them as you contribute to the community. They are earned when you have met the requirements for achieving a particular badge. For example, members who have created new posts on the community forums are awarded a Conversation Starter badge after their 5th, 15th, 50th, and 100th published posts.
