I spend a lot of my time the groups and haven't always focused on helping people in the forums but I must say that as a somewhat old timer in the Fitbit community I like this system and it is nice to get a little positive reinforcement through a "vote" or an "accepted solution" and through ranking up. Good idea Fitbit!

Do you know what the ranking system and titles consist of?

Thank you for explaining the ranking system and levels.

Thank you for the explanation. I saw I was a jogger and wondered where that came from as I'm far from a jogger. LOL

Totally makes sense now. 🙂

Hi @FitbitCommunity , I do not help users to get a high/higher ranking, but what I do not understand is the way this works. F.i. I have 328 messages, 102 votes and 11 best answers and I'm a Runner. I noticed that a lot of other members with less votes and half of the best answers (or less) and about the same amount of posts are already a Hill runner. To be clear again, I do not mind about the ranking perse, I just want to help users. Hoping to get a satisfactory answer to my question, regards kuzibri.

BTW, I have read the "ranking system post" and the way it (should) work(s), therefore I perfectly know that the amount of posts is not important in the  ranking system.
