AR had given us a new feature called "CALLED SHOTS" Suggests posts to be feature,  5 per day and earn points to get a purple button. Thank you Brad and the AR staff:)

Original content by Brad Andersohn Non-Licensed

We have a new feature which I'm sure many of you have already noticed on your "MY HOME" pages. 

Since we released the new "SUGGEST" for feature button, we've been getting a really good response from members helping us to find and report suggested content for the ActiveRain Feature Board.  You'll notice today that we've placed a new metric "CALLED SHOTS" counter in the status area of each members "my home" page. This little tracker tool will tally a total of how many posts you suggest that actually get featured.

Calling a shot simply means you've selected a post by another member that you feel should be featured

To do this, you would have to have clicked on the "SUGGEST" button in the upper right corner of their blog post.  If you suggest a members Blog post to be featured, and it is selected, then you will have "Called The Shot" and get the kudos.  When a member accumulates enough "Called Shots" they'll earn a new badge.

In order to prevent gaming, members may only suggest a maximum of 5 posts per day, so be careful calling your shots, don't waste them, we may have some additional surprises and rewards for those members "calling the most shots" around here. 

Thank you for helping us keep the network growing and for keeping the community fun!  Your support in suggesting features has been awesome, and is making a huge difference for our moderators and for the variety and quality of content that our visitors and traffic are being exposed to while visiting ActiveRain.

Good Morning Kathleen, hope your weekend is very relaxing. This called shot symbol is cool, but they don't tell you how many points you get for a called shot and how many points you might need to get a new badge.

I agree with Barb....awarding points for calling shots can mean a deluge of nominated posts for the sake of points !

Hi ED, Having a great holiday weekend, Planning on going to Bristol this morning to see their spectacular parade, This is our annual 4th of July tradition.

This new feature has me confused, too. I'm sure it will be eventually understood.

Barbara, Congratulations on your purple badge. I will suggest blogs so I can earn mine, too. It does create an interest in reading AR blogs that have not been featured yet.
