Badge levels

● Gold

Gold Badges are rare. You'll have to not only participate but be skilled and knowledgeable to earn these. They're something of an accomplishment!

● Silver

Silver badges are earned for longer term goals. Silver badges are uncommon, but definitely attainable if you’re interested enough.

● Bronze

Bronze badges are earned for basic use of the Splunk Answers site; they are relatively easy to earn.
