Bevy gamification rewards community activity with points, badges, profile titles, and leaderboards. Admins configure scoring and badges under Discussions Manage. Members see recognition on their profile, Rewards tab, hover cards, and Leaderboards. Bevy Support enables the feature set for your community.
Gamification helps your community recognize useful activity—posting, replying, attending events, and more—without replacing moderation or staff identity signals.
| Building block | What it does | Where people see it |
|---|---|---|
| Points | Scores for actions you choose to reward | Profile points, hover cards, leaderboards |
| Badges | Achievements for milestones, streaks, scores, or prior badges | Profile, Rewards tab, hover cards, chat sidebar |
| Profile titles | Labels from an ordered title ladder of badges | Under the name on profile, hover cards, and chat |
| Leaderboards | Rankings based on your community scores | Discussions sidebar and the Leaderboards page |
Note: Gamification is separate from staff badges (company or community staff identity) and from role chips such as Admin, Moderator, or Original Poster.
What admins configure
When gamification Manage pages are enabled for your community, open Enterprise Forums or Discussions, then open Manage in the sidebar. You can work with:
- Scoring System — define community scores and how many points actions earn.
- Badges — create achievements with conditions and triggers (including Years since joining for anniversary badges).
- Achievement Groups — organize badges into a Title ladder (ordered tiers; only one active) or a Category group.
Leaderboards use your community scores. There is no separate “create a leaderboard” screen in Manage. If you need staff accounts hidden from rankings, contact Bevy Support or your Customer Success Manager.
Tip: Start with one scoring system and a small set of badges. Add a title ladder after members understand how points and badges work.
What members see
- Profile — points, up to three highlighted badges, and an optional profile title when titles are enabled.
- Rewards — progress on badges that are in progress, unlocked, and (for your own profile) all rewards.
- Hover cards and chat — title, points, and awarded badges when those features are on.
- Leaderboards — position, name, awards, and points from the sidebar or the full Leaderboards page.
Note: Members earn recognition automatically from community activity. There is no member control in Rewards to pick which badges appear on the profile highlight area.
What Bevy Support enables
Gamification surfaces are turned on for your community by Bevy Support or your Customer Success Manager. Depending on your plan and setup, that can include Manage pages (Scoring System, Badges, Achievement Groups), the member Rewards experience, leaderboards, anniversary badge earning, profile title display, and related options.
Ask Support when you want to:
- Turn on gamification Manage tools or member Rewards and Leaderboards.
- Award badges for community anniversaries (Years since joining).
- Show profile titles from a title ladder.
- Adjust which badges are eligible to appear in the profile highlight area.
- Use achievements or title rank in direct-message eligibility rules (when that moderation feature is enabled).
Recommended setup order
- Confirm with Bevy Support or your Customer Success Manager which gamification tools are enabled for your community.
- Create a scoring system for the actions you want to reward.
- Add a few starter badges members can understand at a glance.
- Optionally create a title ladder after badges are live.
- Share where members can find Rewards and Leaderboards.
