EricStarker Hi,
I suggest rewarding for marking (the best answer,) It should be the responsibility of the author, I see a lot of posts without marking despite valuable answers-> given to the author of the post.
However, the post does not have the best answer marked - it is disregard and disrespect for selfless help.

Chandrasekhar_Arya Hello! If you did achieve Super Contributor status previously, that was likely an error which we've now fixed as you had not met the requirements. You are currently close to the threshold for Super Contributor so if you continue to contribute to Tech Community you should see your status change soon. Sorry for any confusion!

- bjoernrappSep 26, 2023Brass ContributorSimply focus on providing good comments and inputs, and care less about what contributor rank you have.

Thank you for your contribution to MTC, I see that you have been here since 2016 and this is your 7th post - congratulations!
- bjoernrappSep 26, 2023Brass ContributorI have actually been in Microsoft forums since 2007, but not specifically this one. I have over 40 000 posts all together and I have have been an MVP for 6 years, among other things because I have been provided answers in tech forums. I am providing my opinion here and trying to ridicule me by the number of posts , give me a break. A community is for sharing information and self centric posts like "why did I lose my super duper contributor rank" should be avoided. And congrats on beforehand if you reply back to me, that will be your reply number 4050-ish something.
- EricStarkerAug 22, 2023Former EmployeeOur ranking system is designed to reward users for a variety of behaviors in the community. This naturally leads to significant complexity which would not be a simple matter to explain. It is based around some core tenets:
- Logins
- Views
- Like
- Number of posts
- Best Solutions
- length of time a user has been a member
- special ranks given to special groups like employees or MVPs
We also believe participation in our community should be organic and we don't want people to participate solely to rank up or attempt to game the system. Keep contributing and you'll rank up soon enough!

In brief, you never know. Algorithms are confidential. They could be changed from time to time. More you active, more chances to have higher rank. That's all.

Hi, I remember that once I saw such a table - but these were not precise thresholds, so it depends on many factors, eg the number of logins in the MTC profile, the time of logins, the number of replies, the number of best answers, likes are rather not decisive, but this is just my private opinion, which I added based on experience in MTC.
Best regards.
