Badging & Awards for Answerers and Support Staff

Archived ashok kumar 11 years ago

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a plan to implement awarding system with badges for questioners and answerer s who contribute to the support desks.

The badging system might be just like FourSquare or Duolingo. The functionality let the staff or volunteers to contribute and encourage them to participate in the support community. The functionality should be beyond the normal pointing or voting system

Your software would be the first one if you implement it

Thanks!

Hello @all,

We have finally released Gamification system with Awards and Badges in our feedback system in 6.5.1 release. All cloud users have it only in Enterprise package. You can find details about this feature in Gamification in Feedback: Badges & Awards

We don't plan on integrating such features in rewarding system. Though it would be considered to implement in long term roadmap planing.

I would also find Badges to be very useful for recognizing Users for specific behavior or accomplishments. I think adding this type of a 'game' element would help encourage users to participate more.


Can this be moved from a Question into an Idea for future consideration?

No plans as of now... We'll get to this idea after 2.3 release

Can you also change the title to "Badging & Rewards for contributors and Support Staff"

Any updates on this feature as my purchase decision is riding on this (be it an actual feature, extra module or even custom tweaks - if that's not too hard)?

Sorry but it's not on the roadmap for 3.0 major release as of now, because we have more priority features to rethink, improve and develop.

Unfortunate to hear that but I understand that hard choices sometimes have to be made when planning a release.


Can you please keep this on your radar for a potential 4.0 feature? I really need a way for the app to self-reward users for contributing and participating.

Yes, we have that in mind for future releases, but when we polish all major staff on roadmap. There is always option to develop custom module, because we don't guarantee that this feature will be available sooner or later.

Hello guys,

just my two cents from my own experience. I was mainly using on support forum for our project system of "karma". User was able to add positive or negative votes for certain posts. These points were anonymous and in the end ... after two years I saw really minimal usage of them.


What we use now for almost an years if very simple button "Thanks". After press, below topic appear "User X thank you for this post". And every user see just number of received "thanks". I consider this very nice and useful because without need, you directly see if anyone find your post useful and also who!


So if you will not be sure about some complex system of points, badges etc. please consider this very simple and very useful solution which is not so "game-like" like points/badges, but to be true ... how much serious users is interested in them? I would really like to see if anyone find my post useful.

We would get back to considering pointing system or some other award/gamification process after 4.0. But I really like your approach.


Thank you for contribution.

Hi Stas,

great Module!! Thank you.

At what point will the points be awarded to all users after the update?

Hi Jens,

Unfortunetely, we need to write custom script in order to make it as we can't make it at the situation when module is installed. We can launch this script only when all awards and pointing system are already added in settings. If this is crucial, we can think of writing such feature inside app settings. What do you think?

Of course, that's the solution. Make all settings in this module and then click on "Calculate points historically" and create the points with the script.

We'll think of it and let you know if it will be possible

Hi Jens,

We have added the option to recalculate points and it will be available in the next release this or next week.
