Re: Reminder - we are looking forward to a new Member of the Week at MTC :)
Hi guys! I appreciate your feedback on this matter, and apologies for the lack of updates over the past few months. There have been changes in my job responsibilities that caused the weekly updates to be shifted down the priority list, but I will discuss how to support this going forward with the team and update you all soon.923Views1like5CommentsRe: What’s New in the MTC? September 2023 – Community Ranks
Hi Vinoth-- Thank you for your question! MVPs are exempt from these rankings, so if a community member becomes an MVP, they will pause at their current contributor rank until they no longer have MVP status. At which point, they will revert back to their most recent ranking. Hope that helps!2.4KViews1like3CommentsRe: What’s New in the MTC? September 2023 – Community Ranks
Hi @Sergei, All editing permissions should be the same as before. The only changes we've made are to the rank names and clarifying how you earn points for engaging in the community. If you encounter any issues or blocks you wouldn't normally see prior to the name change, please let us know and we will look into it! 🙂2.6KViews1like0CommentsRe: What’s New in the MTC?

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.2.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: What’s New in the MTC?

Hi Dimitri! Good question 🙂 Once a user is no longer an MVP, they will be dropped back in at the rank that's appropriate to their participation. So, if you become an MVP at the Iron contribution level, then you would return to the Iron level if you do not renew your MVP status.2.6KViews1like0CommentsWhat’s New in the MTC? September 2023 – Community Ranks
Our Mission at the MTC is to provide a community Microsoft users can get the latest news, ask questions, learn new skills, and connect with peers and Microsoft experts from around the world. This month, we are rolling out a new ranking system designed to recognize users’ contributions to the community and add a little more ‘Microsoft’ to the MTC. What are the Community Ranks? We now have two ranking ladders to recognize both types of our tech community members. We have our Contributors Ranks for those who come to the MTC to interact and ask/answer questions in our forums, blogs, and events. Some of you Microsoft gamers may notice the subtle nod 😉 Contributor Ranks Onyx Contributor Titanium Contributor Diamond Contributor Platinum Contributor Gold Contributor Silver Contributor Bronze Contributor Steel Contributor Iron Contributor Brass Contributor Copper Contributor And for our members who come to the MTC to catch up on news and learn something new from the blogs, we have our Reader Ranks! These are replacing our Visitor/Member ranks, and once you start posting in the MTC, you will move into the Contributor Ranks. Reader Ranks Senior Reader Prolific Reader Regular Reader Frequent Reader Casual Reader Occasional Reader New Reader (Please note that these rankings are intended for fun and are not a measure of MTC’ers technical competence.) What goes into the Community Ranks? When you become a member of the MTC, you start climbing the ranking ladder, starting as a New Reader. As you contribute more and more to the community, you will start to climb the rank ladder. Here are some of the key ingredients that go into our ranking recipe (*These points are awarded each time an activity is completed): Viewing messages (0.25 points) Commenting on blogs, ideas, and TKB articles (1 point) Creating new discussion topics (1 point) Replying to forum discussions (2 points) Giving (2 points) and receiving Kudos (4 points) Contributing Ideas (5 points) Authoring blog articles (10 points) Publishing Knowledge Base articles (10 points) Getting your replies marked as a solution (15 points) Simply put, the more you engage and interact with the MTC, the more points you earn and the higher your community ranking will be! If you have any questions on these new rankings or you’d like to share feedback with the Tech Community Team, let us know in the comments below.12KViews35likes57Comments
