About Badges

The more time you spend in the Community, the more badges you can earn for your participation.

 

You can gain badges for reading posts, providing answers to questions in the community, starting conversations, replying to conversations, giving and receiving cheers, as well as logging in and contributing to the community.

The more badges you gain, the further you progress through Levels and up the leader board, and the more skills and knowledge you may be recognised for by your peers and other QBO customers!
