Leaderboard and gamification

Skillhive includes a lightweight community recognition system designed to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and active participation. The purpose is to make collaborative activity visible and support swarm culture.

Inspirer Points

Users earn Inspirer points when they:

• Create content (ideas, projects, discussions)
• Attract others to join their swarm
• Spark engagement and discussion

The more participation and activity a swarm generates, the more points its creator receives.

Contributor Points

Users earn Contributor points when they:

• Join swarms
• Participate in discussions
• Share expertise
• Receive recognition or recommendations related to their skills

Contributor points reward helping behavior and knowledge sharing.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards display users who have accumulated the most:

• Inspirer points
• Contributor points

During the past 30 days.

Rankings are time-based (rolling 30-day window), not lifetime accumulations.

Awards

Depending on settings, users may receive visual badges (Awards) on their profile as their points increase.

• Early milestones are easier to achieve.
• Higher-level awards require more sustained contribution.

Awards recognize active community participation, not performance ranking.

Administration

Administrators can enable or disable the recognition system from the admin view.
