Thank you for the post, just I am wondering author a weblog and publish article is not available to everyone and this would give more advantage to people who have access and ability to do so and it makes the competition a bit unfair. Because , you will get 10 points for something which is not available to everyone. I am referring to the following:
- Authoring blog articles (10 points)
- Publishing Knowledge Base articles (10 points)

Hi @Reza,
Appreciate your feedback! We want to make sure that our ranking structure is as fair as possible. You are correct that only certain roles are allowed publishing privileges, typically MS employees and its partners/vendors but also external contributors. However, since Microsoft employees are excluded from this ranking structure, the only users who are able to earn points for publishing blogs are individuals outside of MS that have been invited to contribute to a blog, and we do want to recognize these individuals for their contributions to the community.- Reza_AmeriSep 12, 2023Silver ContributorHi Cecilia,
Thank you for the clarification.
