Cisco Community Member Status/Level

[Alex Pfeil]

I was wondering if there is a document which shows the different member status/level?  I have seen many different levels, such as Beginner, Enthusiast, Rising Star, Contributor, Advocate, and VIP.  I understand that some levels are based on participation.  However, what is the criteria for moving from Beginner to Enthusiast to Rising Star, etc.? What are all of the possible levels?

Thanks in advance!

The ranking system appears to be totally broken.

If you look at user profiles you will see many who: have posted more, provided more solutions, served as a longer members. Yet they are lower (say beginner) while others post hardly anything and move up.

My guess is that it is buggy and doesn’t work correctly.

Thanks for the list I was wondering about levels and how they worked in this system

Over in Learning network there is a dire3ct link on homepage so you can see straight away what is required to level up

[pmckenzie]

But is still doesnt tell you what is required to progress between levels

Yes. I'd like to know more about different levels and how to attain the different levels.

I have been associated with Cisco for about 25 years or so. For whatever reason, i have lost access to the 2 or 3  Cisco IDs along the way. Today, i show as a beginner/noob. I wouldn't worry too much about the badges, personally.
