The New ActiveRain Badges

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed


The new RainMaker Badges are here!  You will notice today that scattered all through-out the community, there will be many different types of Badges and Avatars both on member profile photos and in the comments left on members posts.  It comes as no surprise that our tech team has once again beat me to the scene and this announcement of yet another enhancement in the rain.  Badges!  First off, I'd love to hear what you think about them and secondly, I'll explain what each image represents.

Pictures In Comments and Badges - How Do I Get Mine?

The Rainmaker Badge: For members who have upgraded to a Rainmaker account, have a "new" outside ActiveBlog, currently sponsor at least one Localism community, or have spent at least $10 on a listing router campaign in the last 30 days.  In addition to the new badges, we also now display product icons below a user's comment image that will show how they're using and supporting ActiveRain. 

(your photo will show up in the comments if you're using at least one of these ActiveRain products or services)

Badge Legend / Representation:

  = The RainMaker Badge

  = The Listing Router Badge

  = The ActiveBlogs Badge

  = The 300K Point Member

  = The Localism Sponsor Badge


Here are some samples of members badges that were selected from comments in my last post.
             Coming soon to members near you, the "NEW" Ambassador Badge, which I'll save for another post...

Hi Cheryl - The badge for outside blogs does come from the paid blogs, not the free AR blogs.  I see your listing router badge is appearing so it looks like that question has been answered. (big smile) 

I'll go check your rainmaker status and get that corrected immediately.  Thanks Cheryl, have a great rest of the weekend.

Awesome Idea...may I suggest a badge or some sort of recognition for those that specialize in the commercial space?

Thanks again,

Now I know how the badges work.  My profile had the badge for a couple of days and then it disappeared.  I think it was "awarded" to me on accident, then removed.

Hawaii Homes - I gave it back to you.  I think it was awarded to you and a bug got a hold of it.  Should be there now. :-)

Thanks for your post, Brad.  I have been looking for a list of all the badges. Is there such a complete list?

Tina - I think you're referring to the "featured" star? Just means that the post with the star was featured on the main ActiveRain page.

Are the badges still active?  Which ones still work?  are they automatic or do you need to apply?

Peter Mohylsky - it appears as though the "badges" reflected in this post have quietly and mysteriously dissappeared. However, I do still see the "Rainmaker" and "Ambassador" so-called badges showing up on the right side of each member's comment box. Also posted are their points.

There may have been an announcement to remove the badges, and if so, I must have missed that memo. May want to check with AR support to confirm...   :-)

I thought, it is something new, but just noticed it is an older post. Not all of those badges are around any more.
