Create and respond to content in Jive and earn status points in the community.
The success of your community depends on your contributions, so you are rewarded with
points for getting involved. Over time, you develop a reputation for reliability and
authority in your favorite areas. The more people participate, the more information that
is available for the community as a whole. Where you see your name, you also see a
status icon such as 
corresponding to the number of points you have accrued. You can become a top
participant in your community by earning the most status points.
Note: The Top Participant widget shows your status points for your activity in that place
only. Therefore, you may notice that your points vary from place to place in the Top
Participant widget. Your overall points in the community are shown on your profile page.
Because each community can be set up differently, you should ask your community administrator for details
on status points. What activity is rewarded, status levels, and points awarded may vary. Depending on how your
community is set up, you may earn points when you involve yourself in
the following types of activity:
