Community Levels: Contribution and Recognition

When you login to H2O.ai Community (HaC) for the first time, you start at the first community level and you get a badge called New Member. There are a total of 5 community levels and a badge for each level. Users can advance community levels and earn the associated badges through gaining points through participation. In addition to earning community level badges, users can earn badges for specific activities they do in the community, such as a mentor badge, mvp badge, author badge, etc. These badges can be acquired through gaining a combination of engagement, contribution and reputation points.

Community Level Badges

The following table consists of the community levels, the points required to advance each level and the badge associated with each level. As one looks from the top to the bottom of the table, she or he should notice that a certain number of points for each category must be earned for engagement, contribution and reputation. 

For a user to earn the New Member level badge, they do not need to earn points, they only need to be a member of HaC, meaning they finished registering and logged into their account. For a user to earn the Novice level badge, they must complete 100% of their profile and earn at least 500 engagement points. For earning the Contributor level badge, a user must earn at least 500 contributor points and 1000 engagement points. For obtaining the Master level badge, a user must earn at least 1000 contributor points, 3000 engagement points and 500 reputation points. For acquiring the Maker level badge, a user must earn at least 4000 contributor points, 5000 engagement points and 1000 reputation points.
