Upcoming Changes to LIVEcommunity Member Ranks

[jforsythe]

Hello LIVEcommunity members, 

The Community Team is excited to announce that we will soon be rolling out a new ranking system on LIVEcommunity! 

Ranks are a meaningful gamification element that reward participation, showcase contributions, and encourage engagement within our community! Ranks affect all members, as each of us—newcomers and veterans alike—are automatically assigned a rank based on our community activity. 

What’s changing?

• A new ranking methodology will be implemented sometime in April that will affect all LIVEcommunity members 
• The new ranking system includes more-than double the number of ranks as our current system 
• Each new rank also has a new rank name, offering a refreshed look and renewed sense of excitement for our members

Why are Ranks changing?

• The new ranking system is more sophisticated—offering more nuance, complexity, and reward for members to move up
• More opportunity for climbing the ranks for all members, with particular focus on mobility and encouragement for newer members

Your experience as a member is our top priority! We want to keep things interesting for you, and community gamification features are a key way to do just that. If you have any questions, comments, or other ideas for how to improve your member experience, please leave a comment on this blog or email us at community@paloaltonetworks.com. 

Stay tuned for this new-and-improved update, which is set to be implemented sometime in April. 

Thanks for being part of this vibrant community!

The LIVEcommunity Team
