[Huwen Arnone]

Thanks for sharing @Monique vdB  😎 hitting the Watch button

[John Funk]

This is VERY helpful! Maybe add a column for number of points earned? 

[Monique vdB]

@John Funk great idea, I will add that!

[Monique vdB]

Group badges added, one-time badges added, points column added! 🎉

[Vero Rivas]

Thanks for sharing @Monique vdB 

[Prashant Sultania]

Thank You for such vast explanation  

[Fabian Lim]

Thanks for the detailed explanations.

[Suvradip Paul]

Congratulations @Vero Rivas  for reaching 5K+ mark already for current quarter Leaderboard!

[said kouzibry]

Thank you for sharing,

I wonder about the Autobiographer badge, where does one fill in his profile info ?

I tried where you'd usually do it before joining Kudos, but doesn't seem to work, I guess I'm missing it.

[Lukas Gotter _ Meetical]

Is the Apptoberfest badge missing? 🍂🍻

[Hakeem Olasupo]

This is really helpful 😃.

Thanks 😊

[Monique vdB]

@Lukas Gotter _ Meetical sorry for the delayed response; I  don't include special/short term challenges on here for the sake of keeping this updated. They all get announced in this group though and in Community Contests. 

[Fabian Lim]

Hi @Monique vdB

I noticed that friday fun can be completed once a day which is a bug based on the info.

How do you become a moderator? Looks like easy points just for checking a checkbox.

Thanks

[Monique vdB]

@Fabian Lim all community leaders are moderators and thus able to manage spam. 

Yes it's a bug; still working on a fix for this!

[Karthick S]

@Monique vdB Interesting Challenges!

[Craig Nodwell]

Hi @Monique vdB it seems that play as a team is not working.  I've completed the challenge however the kudos have not been awarded.
Thanks

[Monique vdB]

@Craig Nodwell that's odd! I do see it on your profile now - is it still buggy or was it maybe just lagging somehow?

[Craig Nodwell]

That caught up, there's a couple of others that are bit wonky.  Work then don't etc..  I'll list them out later for you :)   

[vikram]

wahooo somany kudos activities, 

thanks for sharing, I have completed few, I should complete the others.

[Yatish Madhav]

This is superb @Monique vdB  - watching and going to continue earning! Really amazing when gamifications like this is so transparent and ongoing ... Kudos to you and Atlassian! :D

[Dave Mathijs]

Hi @Monique vdB , I've introduced myself in the New to Jira Work Management group on January 11, 2022, but the Work It Out mission doesn't show as completed. Is there a requirement whether it is an Article, a Discussion or Question?

[Sharon Halpin]

Hello @Monique vdB  Great article - thank you.

Is there a list of the different community levels? 
Apparently I'm a 'leaf' but not sure where this is in the hierarchy. 

thank you

[Amanda Barber]

Question for you, @Monique vdB - is there a better avenue to reporting missing badges? Looking at Always Be Learning and it's showing 4 out of 5 complete, but I've actually completed all 5. If there's a better way/place to report that, let me know!

[Brian Trepto]

Exciting!

[Monique vdB]

@Amanda Barber sorry I didn't see this! yes, this is the best place to report it. Tagging @Saralie S_ so she can take a peek :)
