SAP Community Reputation Program
SAP Community is a dynamic, diverse community. Being part of this vibrant, passionate community is like being part of a family. As you become active on SAP Community, you will grow your knowledge, build an expert reputation and make friends. Established members benefit from the collaboration, guidance, and support that come with a strong, tight-knit professional network.
Regular participation is important for getting the most out of your engagement within the community. Not only do you receive ongoing feedback and interactive discussions, but being active on SAP Community is also a rewarding experience. To support the experience, we have established a reputation program with game mechanics to measure quality, thank you for contributions, and help you establish credibility and visibility as a leader in the community – all while having fun.
We are rolling out the SAP Community reputation program in phases. This page describes what elements are available now, and what will be rolled out in the near future.
Other than the Karma Credits (you can only see your own), there are no points awarded on the new SAP Community Network. That’s by design, and big step forward for the whole community. Members should focus on quality contributions, over quantity. Rather than recognizing members by points, the SAP Community Network will calculate an overall reputation score for all members, and an expertise score for any primary topic tags a member is active in.
The reputation and expertise scores will be rolled out some time after the mission launch; the timing is to-be-determined.
Users earn karma credits by doing positive things in Q & A, such as having their answer accepted or receiving an up-vote. Karma credits will help users understand how their participation in Q & A is being perceived by other members and the reputation and trust they are earning.
Since the SAP reputation program has shifted its focus away from points, users can only see their own karma credit total. Hiding other members’ karma credit from public display encourages quality contributions over quantity, and lessens competition.
Moderators can see the karma credit total and a karma credit history for all members.
