AdminCommunity Champion Rewards & Program Updates
Hello all!
I hope you’re doing well and that your 2025 is off to a great start. I wanted to share some exciting updates we’ve made to the Community, aimed at boosting engagement and giving our Community Champions more ways to contribute and lead. Here are the two key changes:
- Q1/25 Community Champion Rewards and Promotions have been completed
We've updated Champion levels based on Q1/25 activity and contributions, and rewards have been issued. Thanks again for all of your fantastic participation last quarter! - Community Champions of all levels can now author technical articles.
Previously, only Level 3 Champions had this ability. Now, Champions at Levels 1 through 3 can submit articles for review. Level 3 Champions will continue to have the option to publish directly without needing review. This opens the door for more diverse content and voices across our product spaces. - Champions can now mark replies as solutions.
To help keep the Community well-organized and up to date, Champions and SmartBear staff can now mark a reply as a solution when a thread has been inactive. This ensures helpful answers are more visible for others searching in the future. There are a few rules in place to guide this:- Threads must be inactive for at least 7 days before a Champion or staff member marks a solution.
- The reply marked as a solution should clearly address the original question or problem.
- If the original poster or other members disagree, they are free to unmark the solution and continue the conversation.
These changes are designed to make the Community more dynamic, helpful, and rewarding for everyone. As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing even more great contributions from all of you.
We also have a bunch of new features and updates for the community in the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye out!
Thank you for all of your contributions! You all are an important part of the SmartBear Community!
