What are user ranks?

 

User ranks are a fun gamification element that incentivizes participation, rewards quality, and establishes reputation in the community. Every member of the community is assigned a rank based on their contributions.

 

Is there a list of the user ranks?

 

1 - Dark Matter     (Your journey starts here...)

2 - Matter

3 - Proton

4 - Baryon

5 - Atom

6 - Meteoroid

7 - Meteor

8 - Asteroid

9 - Comet

10 - Fireball

11 - Bolide

12 - Quasar

13 - Pulsar

14 - Magnetar

15 - Aurora

16 - Nebula

17 - Castor

18 - Pollux

19 - Altair

20 - Arcturus

21 - Polaris

22 - Nova

23 - Supernova

24 - Hypernova     (The highest achievement possible!)

 

What's the deal with the astronomical theme?

 

Your work is serious business, but your community experience doesn't have to be. The astronomical theme is light, fun, and, frankly, out of this world.

 

How do I earn a new rank?

 

User ranks are awarded based on combinations of various types of user activity in the community. In short, the more you participate, the higher a rank you will reach!

 

What features are unlocked with each rank?

 

While we won't spoil all of the surprises heading your way, there are a few key features worth highlighting:

  • The private messenger feature is enabled when you reach Matter level status.
  • As soon as you reach Meteoroid status, you have the ability to at-mention fellow community members in your posts.

 

What are the criteria for each rank? 

 

It wouldn't be nearly as fun if we told you!

 

Where does my rank display?

 

Your rank will display on your profile page, on each post you make, and your profile hover card.

 

I've seen users with ranks that aren't on the list above. What gives?

 

It's true. Some folks - Alteryx employees and partners, to name a few - have custom ranks so that you'll always know who you're interacting with.

Love the user ranks, especially not disclosing how one advances in the user ranks! Why so serious? If you on this great community site on a Saturday or Sunday, you probably work too hard and need some levity. Awesome sauce!

So true...So true...

Statistiken, 

Die einzige Wissenschaft, worin zwei Experten, unter Verwendung des genau gleichen Satzes von Daten erkannten, kommt möglicherweise zu vollständig gegenüber von Schlussfolgerungen

This is extremely helpful! I have been on the community for a while and figured that it was some sort of ranking system, but this is helped make it very clear!

Thank you, I have been wondering about what all the levels were and what triggers the changes. Do the color bands in the above post denote different tiers of "unlocked benefits?"

It would be more cool than the Aurora borealis if we could click on the ranks above and see all the users which have attained each enlightened level!

Wow, Pretty helpful post on the ranks!

That was helpful but what is the metric behind? Can you be more transparent on this?

Is it only about participation in the community, the more you contribute, the higher you get or is taking lessons in the Academy also considered?

So far I'm loving the ranking system. It has been incentizing me to engage with the community and in turn allowing me to learn the nuances of the tool.

Thank you, now I know what I should be aiming at!

@LeahK  (I just learned I could at-mention from reading this post.)

 

What is the highest level that anyone has achieved achieved so far? Just curious.

I just joined here and I'm pretty new to this whole experience (including the community). Wonder how I'll make it to the top!

Excellent idea. Regardless of what background community participants come from, gamification definitely adds a fun dimension (based on my past experience in other organizations).

Is there any criteria to pass next user ranking?

Thanks for sharing! Was curious if the rankings had meaning - it's cool to see you can unlock different features.

This is great! And what would also be fab is if we could see how many community members are at each level.  Do the colours for the different ranking groups signify anything?

Thanks for the clarity! Wonder if it's been brought up, but is there the possibility to build the rankings to branch off into different areas? Would be similar to a RPG class system but you wouldn't know where you would develop to....

Very helpful! I'm glad I was able to retain my profile after changing companies too. Would be a shame to start over at "Dark Matter" :)

Gamifying is the much talked new kid on the block. Real nice way to incentivize the participation. Seen other systems following suit too. 

 

On the stats : As they say : "There are lies, damned lies and then there's Statistics. " 

 

Not to be taken too seriously!

@malikapaar congrats on achieving the new rank!

It may be a little silly, but i noticed that the number of the rank is not being shown for non ACE users anymore. I personally liked more when it was.

Is it possible to loose a rank if you are quiet (busy working) for a while?

JRBEAUDRY

Nice touch ! 🌠

 

But what we do if we have fun at work ! that is probably too much fun all at once !! haha ! 🤖

 

Happy data analysing!
