Just like being in the girl/boy scouts and earning merit badges to sew on your sash, you can now get badges for your accomplishments on the Webroot community. Rather than a sash you'll have a section on your profile to show off your badges:
With a link to a page with all of the badges you've earned (plus a view of all the ones you can aspire to earn).
Frequently asked questions that I'm guessing you might be asking:
What do the badges get me?
That warm, fuzzy feeling of being recognized for your contributions. We do now have badges that represent the levels on our VIP Program where you can get fun swag and prizes for participation on the community.
Are those all the badges we can get?
We're starting out with a selection of badges earned for posting, answering questions and getting kudos on your posts. We'll be adding more badges throughout the year, including badges for participating in our beta program, finding bugs, submitting feature requests and more!
How do I see my badges?
Simply go to your profile and look in the badges section at the top of the page.
How do I see other people's badges?
You can either go to their profile, or you can hover over their avatar in the community to see their most recent badges and a link to the full list:
What badges do I have versus the ones I have yet to earn?
On your badge page you'll see the earned ones in full color, and the ones you have yet to earn greyed out.
What does each badge mean?
If you hover over any badge on your badge page, you'll see a description of what that badge is in recognition of.
What does "Earned by 11" mean?
That means that there are 11 other people who've earned this badge. So you can see how rare or common that badge is.
I have an idea for a badge!
Great - post it here or send me a private message and we'll see about getting that badge added.
