Ranks in the Bonfire community are based on your level of engagement—the more you participate, the higher your ranking. As you advance up the ranks, you'll unlock additional rewards. When we launched Bonfire, we launched with twenty one total ranks. We’re simplifying the structure to make advancement more achievable. You’ll notice that the updated rank structure includes just ten. In addition to pairing down the number of ranks, we’ve updated the rank names to better reflect your progress. The updated ranking structure is: New Member (the first rank you achieve at registration time) Member Contributor Connector Collaborator Supporter Influencer Mentor Expert Visionary (the highest rank you can achieve) Each of these ranks corresponds to your activity and engagement within the community. The initial ranks emphasize your passive participation, such as sign-ins, page views, and likes. You'll achieve higher ranks through more active participation, including accepting solutions, replying to discussions, and creating blogs. The best way to quickly move up in rank is by taking those active participation actions: liking posts, responding to posts, accepting solutions when you see correct answers posted, and creating your own posts. Where to find your rank Your current rank will appear next to your username as you post or participate within the community. You can also see your rank on your user profile under “Role.” Notifications about ranking Be sure to set up email notifications within My Settings → Follows & Notifications so that you’ll be notified whenever you move up in rank.0likes0CommentsA Guide to Badging in Bonfire

You can post any number of questions related to using Braze or customer engagement more broadly within the Bonfire community. Whether you're inquiring about a specific product feature or validating expected product behavior, we encourage you to use the community as a valuable resource for answers. ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS One way you can assist other community members is by marking solutions that correctly answers posted questions — this is known as "Accepted Solutions." This practice validates that the response to a threaded question is accurate and helpful to you. We've established a reward system to recognize those who both give and receive "Accepted Solutions." Once an Accepted Solution is marked, you'll notice that the original message will be labeled as "Solved," which helps signal to others looking for threads with resolved responses. To accept a solution, simply click "Mark as Solution" in the lower left-hand corner of the message. LIKES We also encourage you to "like" any content that you find helpful or valuable, whether it's an answer to a question or content posted by another member that resonates with you. Likes are a great way to passively participate in the community, and we have set up rewards for those who give and receive likes as well.0likes0CommentsPrivate Messenger
