Thanks for mentioning here @Wendy_S , 😊 @StanGromerso talk about Bonus Points and Gamification in community. Rather then say Bonus points, I would like to call it as "Arbitrary Points" in community. Since bonus means extra benefit or profit, but we have two side of this feature here in community. One is for Bonus(Profit/Benefit) points and other is Penalty(Negative) points. 1. Bonus(Profit/Benefit) Points: Which played a very good part in community, when we need to comes with rewards and recognizing to our contributors. There are times when we need to give extra benefits for contributors who are doing great work in community, or helping CM in those area which needs so much attention and they are spending a great amount of there quality time to it. Its us who can decide at what type of activities they will do and we can reward them with these points. Like if someone done very good participation then other contributors in the past one month or past one year, or they are updating there information and you know what level of that users deserve and they should need to jump to a certain rank level. So we can give them those extra benefit points for which they will achieve that level. 2. Penalty(Negative) Points: If some one misbehaving, use abuse words, adding Spam posts or unrelated messages which are not the part of community forums or discussion and also distract other users from contributing into community. Then we can add negative points to those users of community which move them lower to points or level. This Penalty points will remind them for what they have done wrong here during there participation. To explore more in detail you can talk with @VarunGrazitti and you don't need to go with Manual approach. 😉 ... View more
