Newbie Alert!

The Newbie level is intended to be a starting level for our new members.

Certain abilities (adding user titles, using signatures, starting polls, etc.) are turned off until the member has time to get to know our communities and establish themselves as active members of our community.

The limitation of these abilities is not a bug, and should not be reported as such.

Newbies must earn Green Ribbon level to achieve these Power Ups and full membership to our community.

How do you get past newbie level?

Some of the things you can do to earn points:

• Upload a profile picture
• @mention someone
• Refer a Member to the community
• Post your first comment
• Introduce Yourself to the community
• Have your answer accepted as the correct answer
