daily "Congratulations! You have a new rank" messages?

Nobody knew. I just made that term up. Kudo for that?! :-) . Maybe it will stick.

Hmm ok, my guess with the alliance flag is HP Partner status - so you are flagged of as Part of HP Alliance.

And more worth then Founder, ok not my opinion but possible. Leaves the question how someone with 260 posts get the same title for his outstanding contribution as the well known names.

I really miss something like:

Just one info - I don`t get daily congrats - maybe something to do with status 'HP ALLIANCE'?

Some ribbons to earn? COOOOL ;-)

FWIW ... I too am getting daily private messages advising me that my status has been updated to "valued contributor".  I haven't posted anything for a week (until today) so I don't think it's triggered by my activity.

While the messages themselves aren't a big deal, I'm inclined to turn off the "send me email when someone sends me a private message" function.  Which means that if a user sends me a genuine private message I won't know about it until I next visit the site.  In other words the daily spams are reducing the value of the functionality.

BTW, I believe the "HP Alliance" ribbon is for any one who is an HP business partner or AllianceOne (DSPP) member.

I'm hoping I'll have an update to pass along later today regarding this situation - apologies for the private message "spam"!

The weird thing is if you hover with the mouse over a ribbon, it displays the rank... so in a way it's quite similar to the ITRC, even if the picture is something else.

Yes, I noticed that when I cut&pasted them all in:

The daily, repeated, status change Emails seems to have ceased a week or two ago.

So that (minor) problem is solved me thinks.

So are you going to mark your own reply as the solution?  ;-)
