Leaderboard

You can view you ranks, badges and points in your user profile. Points are earned by creating topics, articles, blogs, replies and by other members reacting positively to the content and contribution you make to Support Forums Ranks are achieved when you reach a specific amount of points Badges are awarded for hitting activity, post and contribution goals as set by the community management. They can also be granted manually by staff. The leaderboard shows the list of top users. For the mathematically inclined, below is the current rank progression formula: Threshold(i) = round( MaxPoints × ( i / (R - 1) ) ^ p ) Where: MaxPoints = total points needed for the final rank (20000) R = total number of ranks (14) p = progression exponent (2.2) i = current rank index (0 = first rank, R-1 = final rank)
