New Rewards and Recognition Program

If you've ever been part of an online community, you likely have experience with a content rating, or user rating system. When a community member posts something meaningful or highly relevant, other users can flag or mark the content as such.  As content gets flagged, the contributing user may see an increased "reputation score," demonstrating that they have been a consistent, quality contributor. Users quickly learn to trust content provided by quality contributors, who often provide some of the highest value within their respective communities. 

The Oracle Community has had a content and user rating system for some time, but the My Oracle Support 15.1 release enhanced the Rewards and Recognition program to include new user "levels," visual perks, badges, and achievements. The changes increase the visibility of quality contributors, giving participants a more flexible, fun way to share knowledge and work within in the community while increasing the value of content.
