Veeam Community Points system

In the community:

30 points for a topic

5 points for a comment

1 point for each like you get

15 points for a “best answer"

In Veeam University:

20 points for each done lesson (I think 30 points for the first lesson)

In Veeam forums:

5 points per comment

I am not completely sure about the exact points for topics and likes in the forums.

So, it is possible to get a lot of points without any topic or comment in community.

All numbers mentioned here are subject to change without further notice and are solely based on  my personal experience.

Probably something that @Madi.Cristil can answer. 😁

Just one thing: points don’t make Legends, contents do.

Cheers @Geoff Burke - I’ll be as transparent as we can with @Madi.Cristil  → one question we had this time was “where is the bottom” of new Legends? So then we started looking at context, type of engagement, etc. We’re learning as we go!

You get points for likes, posts and topics here in the community. Same goes for being active in the R&D forums. In addition you can collect points in the Veeam University.

You start at 0 points and all points you get will stay there for all the time; at least at the moment they don't decrease or get reset.

But, becoming a Legend is not only about collecting the points and advancing in the leader board 😉 Being active in one or both of the communities, helping your fellow members and posting useful information will increase your chances.

Edit: Too slow 😅

@JMeixner is not calculating very precisely, he is assuming :D The calculation is a bit different. But, @MattM , I would be more concerned on the quality of the content, how active and engaged you are rather than keep track on the points. That would take you on the right path aka become a Legend 😊  

Where can I check how many points I’ve collected so far? Can’t find it in my profile...

@MattMThat’s interesting, I would have thought that you get listed at the top of the “all time” leaderboard anyways (above 1st place). Did you switch from weekly to all time?

I don’t see @MattM on the weekly list either - you made 3 comments in this thread today, so you should be on the weekly list. Seems that there is something wrong...

 

???

Yes, the weekly list is resetted every Sunday night.
But Matt has made 3 comments today. So, you should be on the weekly list now.

It might not update immediately. Do you usually get the points as you post, or does it take a while? 

In most times the points are updated at once, sometimes it takes 1 - 2 minutes, but not several hours….

Got it! I just realized @MattM is a Veeam employee, that's why he is not getting points. He is not going to show up in the Leaderboard. He can't be a Legend, he can only be a MVP. 

Hey I’m very late to the reply here, thank you @Madi.Cristil for engaging. I’d add that we have made some changes, for example “liking” does not give you points, but “being liked” does. So keep liking but don’t be gaming the system in that regard. 

The platform does so much of it for us and it is configurable, we’ll probably make some more changes from the initial setup from Kseniya. We just onboarded H2 Legends (Madi and I) and that as a totally new process for us. 

The data is much of it. The context and ‘rest of the story’ is a part of it too. One thing I’ll say is that for the people we engage with on the high end of the points, sometimes ‘life happens’ and we need to take activity changes with context.

At the time the forum points sync was introduced, the sync happened around 12pm each day.

Where can I check how many points I’ve collected so far? Can’t find it in my profile...

Unfortunately, I’m not one of the top-1000 users. 😅

According to @JMeixner ‘s post above, my activity should have accumulated >100 points already. Last position in the top-1000 currently has 24 points, so I should be somewhere on that list. So I must be missing something important here?

Mhhh, you have one topic, 12 comments and two solved questions - so you should have 120 points. With some likes, some points more. You didn’t change your username?

You say “ I can see when I am active, points being added.” in your original post. Where do you see it?

 @Madi.Cristil, I think, this can be checked by the admins only.
