Community Badge for 2009

[I355602]

Hello,

I recently crossed 500 annual points in 2009. But still I haven't received any mails from SCN community.

I thought for scoring atleast 500 points in a year, we receive a community badge.

But i haven't received anything till yet.

Has the criteria being changed?

Well Tarun, I think SAP has not started giving badges for 2009 yet, Or else I would have got it in jan 2nd week itself,

Just wait, when SAP starts the proces U'll definately receive your GIFT, so dont worry and keep on contributing.

Dont let such things bother you, Have Patience. As Jurjen said, its a gift so just wait to receive it, instead of asking for it.

Be patient, you will get that one day. And you can expect it later in this year, But don't disappoint, keep contributing. and Don't send mail to Lisa. she may not be able to help you. unless she get the list, she can't send the mail to you for Address confirmation. Once you confirm the adress then only it will be shipped(But beware of customs, in case of India it will take time).

Hi,

why is it so important to get a badge? Do you get free entry in cinemas, free diners at your favorite restaurant or anything else? Isn't it enough to get a good reputation in here?

Hi,

I have also crossed 600 points in the current year, & hoping to get a badge which I will hang on my desk so that people could see my contribution with out logging into SDN & inturn they start using SDN....

Thanks,

Krishna...

[former_member188685]

i can see only 198 points, what happened to others..

[Former Member]

But when you click on his forum points its showing 600+ points and total points 1000+.May be he contributed blogs articles etc.

[former_member181995]

He contributed most in WIKI. Also, he has awarded 80 points for SDN member referrals.

Cheers,

Amit.

I had 5000 points only in 2008, it was all converted to money (pounds) and later to food

What better than this ?

By the way I didnot get (or see) any badges,mails etc.I thought all these were stopped from 2008, Wasn't it ?

[Former Member]

Last year was the first year they were distributed instead of the t-shirts. I was happy to have been sent one for my 2008 contributions, but it is not something which I would wear at home or to work (unlike the t-shirt which I do wear on weekends while working in the garden).

I am hoping for another Top Contributor badge for 2009, and was thinking of taking them to a jewellery store and having the pair fitted as earrings for the missus.

Has anyone done this before?

Any advise would be highly appreciated...

[ThomasZloch]

Julius, didn't they give you a moderator badge at SCN day Berlin? You've got your earrings complete already!

Thomas

[Former Member]

Yes, but I want to keep those until I have 4 of them and then have them made into a pair of cufflinks which look like small handcuffs...

[ThomasZloch]

handcuffs for the missus...no further questions, your honour

[former_member205352]

Last year was the first year they were distributed instead of the t-shirts.

You mean the badges ?

How to claim ?

I have not received mail from "lisa.london @ anotherworld-km dot com" either.

May be they forgot ? How to remind them ?

Send mail to sdn.sap.com ?

[Lakshmipathi]

There is nothing wrong expecting badge from SAP as from my experience, I have seen people, using it as one of their additional qualification and showing it in interviews )

[jurjen_heeck]

> I have seen people, using it as one of their additional qualification and showing it in interviews

Now that's a surprise for me. I wouldn't have thought about that use. But that may be because I post under my real (and coincidently unique) name so my contributions can be found by those who are interested. I think showing such a badge will not benefit me in an interview.

[former_member184619]

@Jurjen - having a community badge will not help in interview, but being an active contributor on SDN will definitely do. If SAP thinks that rewarding people will motivate them for contributing then what's the harm in expecting it from SDN.Here is what I received last year for being top contributor from SDN.

u201CWe would like to thank you for all your contributions to SDN/BPX. It is your active participation

that makes the SAP Community Network a valuable resource for the entire community. In appreciation

of your support, we will be sending you a Community Badge to mark your achievement in becoming an

SAP Community Network 2008 Top Contributor. We would appreciate your cooperation in helping us send

you the Community Badge that you have earned.u201D

@Tarun - Being a new comer to SAP world , it will definitely boost/motivate to contribute and share more on SDN. Tarun you can expect it without any doubt. Will somebody help Tarun in getting his answer rather than moving into a discussion which is already done on SDN so many times.

> Here is what I received last year for being top contributor from SDN.

I got the same but consider it to be a kind of gift instead of something I am entitled to, that's why I do not understand people who are asking for it. And yes, I do appreciate the recognition.

I agree that the discussion is drifting off (again) but still think the only answer to such questions is: "patience".

[former_member184619]

Yes, it is a kind of gift .. You get it by default..even i got it...

@Tarun didn't .. ? that's why he asked for..right Tarun

Sachin

[jurjen_heeck]

Can you please explain why this badge is so important to you?

I am not joking, this is a serious question. I sincerely do not understand why badges or poi nts are so important. To me the forums are a source of information and a platform to help colleagues.

[I355602]

Hi,

I'm not denying the fact that forums are a good source for better knowledge.

It's not that important... But I thought if somebody is contributing his/her effort, then it should be rewarded as a token of appreciation.

Regards,

Tarun

[former_member181995]

if i say you "Thank you and Keep it up!" would you consider this as a token of appreciation?

Cheers,

Amit.

I am still dead serious. I could have had a more common name which in turn could force me to use a nickname to distinguish myself from persons with the same name. I understand in some of the bigger countries this can easily become a problem....
