Spectator? what are the other rankings?

I received an email saying that I was promoted to Spectator.  I know nothing of these rankings.  Is there a list for them somewhere?

      Badges are awarded based on your level of forum participation. 

      • You get points for posting questions.
      • You get points for correctly answering other people's questions.
      • You get points for hitting the LIKE button.
      • I think you even get points for spelling your name :-).

       

      Staff Badges = Adobe Employees.

      ACP and MVP badges = fellow users and product experts.

      All other badges = regular forum members.

      Hi @F.Quill 

      Have you already noticed that the system has changed your rank from "Participant" to "Contributor" in the past few days?

      😉

          Hi Common5C0B:

          When you sign in to the Adobe Support Community, here, you will see your "profile" button in the top right corner.  In there, along with your community info, there is a "My profile" category.  That is where all your community participation and badging will show.  

           

          please see the reply above that I sent to Ongeziwe, ... 

           

          Hope that helps.   It was awhile before I figured out the badging, too, but it is well-done.  So far, this is the best community ever and the Community Professionals who post here are AMAZING!!

            Common5C0B was a spammer.

              Hi Ongeziwe:

              When you sign in to the Adobe Support Community, here, you will see your "profile" button in the top right corner.  In there, along with your community info, there is a "My profile" category.  That is where all your community participation and badging will show.  

              Since you are "new here" there may be not too much, yet.  But go ahead and "like" someone's post - if you do like it and especially if it is helpful -  and you might get a badge for that.

               

              Welcome to the Adobe Community!  BTW There are a lot of extremely knowledgeable and helpful Adobe Community Professionals who can help you whenever you have a question.  Their contributions to this Community are amazing and valuable.  As a resource, this Community has helped me out of so many jams and helped me to learn so much - I love it here!!

                Other than Adobe Staff, ACPs, and MVPs, no.

                For some undisclosed reason a listing is currently unavailable.

                  I think there is a reason for concealing the ranking list ~ despite best intentions of badges and rankings, there may be some who spam the forum to achieve a specific rank.   Like Nancy mentioned, there are plenty of ways to add value to new users' rank.  There were some in the past who responded to every post/question with a request for software versions and system specs (even when the question was something like "How do I make a new photoshop layer?").

                   

                  There are good milestones the author gets (which is why I usually click LIKE on well answered posts, even if they've already been marked "Correct")

                  Fortunately,  I don't think most are here for the ranking. It makes it that much more unexpected when it pops up! 😉

                   

                  Vanessa - There ARE SOME FUN BADGES that you can earn (see your user profile). Some of those will have a specific number attached to them.

                    Hello KoMaruyama!  

                    I just gave you a 'like' for reminding me to 'like' a post when I learn something.  👍 

                    Was wondering about all the 'badging', too.   Truth is, it has helped me to feel like I am a valid part of this Community, ... .  

                    Considering all the challenges of the past year, it is a nice, little bit of "feel good", and is appreciated.

                    But not as much as all the valuable contributions from Adobe Community Professionals - thank-you for being here!
