Community ranks Ranks are a terrific way for you to see a community member's role and activity and to celebrate your own accomplishments. Community ranks show if someone has been regularly active and helpful in the community, such as a Super User. Some ranks, especially those related to managing the community, come with special permissions. Ranks also recognize the contributions and impact of a community member. As you increase your contribution activity (like creating new topics or providing solutions, for example) your rank can increase. Every time you earn a new rank, you will receive an email notification. Once you have gained a new rank, a rank name will be displayed right next to your username. The exact formulas and criteria remain our little secret to keep things exciting. Seeing someone's rank You can find a member’s rank in two ways: Next to their name when you are looking at one of their posts in the community: Under their name on their profile page:0likes0CommentsUsing @mentions
@mentionsallows users to call out other community members and community content within a post. This is helpful for responding to a forum topic when you want to link it to another post that includes helpful information. Community supports two kinds of @mentions: User Mentions Content Mentions User mentions With User Mentions, users can call out specific users in their posts and invite them to join the conversation. You might @mention a user when you know they can answer a question or supply valuable insight into a thread. Also, you may just want to ensure they see when you directly thank or give them public praise. For example, you want to thank a user (admin) for their great answer to a question you asked. After clicking the “Reply” button, enter an "at" symbol (@) followed by their username, “@admin”. As you type, a pop-up menu appears with matching names. You can either continue typing the name or select a name from the list. When you select or finish entering the name, the mentioned username is highlighted, as shown here: When users are mentioned in posts, they receive an email notification. Content mentions Content Mentions enable users to call out specific posts within the body of a message. This is a way to quickly embed a link to other content in the community. Content mentions are supported in all conversation styles in both topics and replies/comments. For example, you respond to a forum topic and want to link to another post that includes helpful information. Type the @ symbol and any keywords in the subject or body of the message you want to link to. As you type, search results with messages matching that keyword organized by conversation style appear in the pop-up. You may enter multiple words in the pop-up. When multiple words are entered, all words must be present in the subject and/or body.

A “Solved” icon will appear below the thread name in boards and search results, making it more obvious (and easier for you to spot). Protect your privacy Always double-check to make sure that your post does not include personal or otherwise sensitive information. This can include (but is not limited to): Real names Your date of birth Physical addresses E-mail addresses Phone numbers Credit card information Log in information, especially passwords URLs Product codes Sensitive information may also include sales figures and other information considered confidential by your company. Use your best judgement when sharing any data related to the company that you work for. To protect your privacy, you should eitherfully exclude sensitive information or black it out in screenshots. If you do expose PII information, that content may be removed from your post by community administrators. Posts marked as spam The platform automatically scans for spam, and we monitor all flagged posts to determine whether the content should be unflagged. There are numerous variables that the platform scans for and there is no true way of knowing exactly what triggered your post to be flagged. A common trigger would be copying and pasting content into the community and making multiple edits. Do not worry if your post was marked as spam. We monitor reported posts during regular business hours and make sure to unflag anything that is not spam. If you happen to come across spam or other questionable content in posts, you may report it by selecting "Report Content" from the Settings dropdown menu represented by the gear icon on the top right of a post.0likes0Comments
