And a big shout out as well to the 7 members who earned the Top 5% Reward and the 8 members who were in the Top 10%! Their contributions to the Community should not go unnoticed.

If they can't be bothered to fix some of the glitches around here that regularly cause customer issues it doesn't make a lot of sense that they are going to make a very complicated reward program . As far as posting blank messages or other things ...at least that is easy to police and they are monitoring everything anyway so what better way really .
Those other topics are part of a healthy "community" so why shouldn't those topics be included for the minute percentage of posts they make up . I mean considering the work you guys do for PM at the pay you get .. I think a perk like that might be in order.

I had written a joking reply to that rhyme here. Kinda useless now.

I thought I recalled reading otherwise; but perhaps it was a memory of a fallacious thread.
Is that posted anywhere officially?
I don't believe that you're going to find anything official posted about that, but when The Lounge was created, it was done to give people an area to talk about non-service related topics. While customers won't know the exact Community rewards forumula, I can say for certain that the forumula has been changed at least a couple of times. It used to be that post count was almost everything, and unfortunately, people took advantage of that, sometimes posting blank messages - or even encyclopedia articles. Members are not suppsoed to earn rewards for talking about hobbies, weather, jokes, sports, recreation, cooking, general chatter, or omatters unrelated to Public Mobile.

@barndoor friggin' story problems.
Re-reading that 'slower' I get 85 now. 👍
Feel free to check my remaining calculations, there goes my A+ mark. 😎

I dunno the exact number, but I am pretty sure @darlicious has a lot more Brovos than myself

@darlicious wrote:Myself and @softech are the two. He had one more post than I. With 101 more posts it would be equal to a millemia. My solutions were a decade short of a half century and @softech 's were a decade and half short of century. One of us was a half century beyond a millenia in bravos the other a century behind . Which one of us wound up on top?
@darlicious I hated story problems in school. But I am a bit of a stat nerd now.
So, is this correct for June 2021 numbers?
I threw mine in there too, for fun; and also, because I only keep track of mine (since the fall out of Jan/Feb. 2021) 🤣
Posts | Solutions | Bravos | Award | |
softech | 899 | 85 | 1050 | 1% |
darlicious | 898 | 40 | 900 | 1% |
esjliv | 352 | 65 | 565 | 5% |
@barndoor figure that out.
Yup, Posts and Bravos definitely matter more regarding rewards in this matter.
Note: Lounge posts also count (or not, Unclear about this...?), which i don't visit very often. Although, I do like a good lounge.
I still think this guy is the holder of the truth, and reasoning and keeper of the master formula:

@LurganIeUk : There's an unofficial announcement thread in the lounge where someone first notices the reward distribution and says so. It's almost always the later evening of around the 6th. No guarantee. My joking about how long you've been here is wondering that you should know all this by now.
I went on to suggest ideas to make sure you get your reward deposited then.
Have you used the Lost/stolen function?
But hey...you've left the conversation now so this is for other readers.

How about any leading or trailing spaces from autofills? I had that with a credit card once. I was wondering why some things weren't working and the CSR was like oh wait I think I found an extra space somewhere in your name. She removed it and cleaned it all up and no problems thereafter.
There have been the odd other users that have had this problem. Maybe ae-collector?
@Anonymous
I have no idea how what you are saying and how that might be the issue with me not receiving Community rewards. I have received one properly...thus my Community Account IS linked properly to My Account!!
Basically all I was asking is when does the Community Reward for June show on your MY Account and if any one had theirs show up. You are beginning to sound like some one else here that sends out a laundry list of things to do vs zeroing in on the specific issue with a recommendation for fixing.
Left the conversation.

Thanks. I have contacted the MOD folks. Not my first time at the rodeo with this situation.
My ! marks are only used due to the insinuations from another member.
07-13-2021 02:58 PM
@barndoor : There's some history. Exclamation marks mean yelling. He seems to like using many of them. I was being more than a little sarcastic writing that way.

Why ya yelling ? @LurganIeUk wasn't yelling , just colouring the response in the middle of a quote because the board doesn't let you split them up properly that I can find .
I do agree tho ... may as well contact the mods ..why let them get away with short changing you @LurganIeUk .

That's neither here or there or helpful, smiley face or not!!!
The reward gets a little messy if you renew around the 6th of the month for those couple renewals.
Exactly and that is why I am asking. Does any one have theirs showing? I still don't have my may credit and was promised it would credit my July 7 payment and did NOT.
In case that's what you're wondering. Check your Payment history.
I did!! Before I posted!!!!!!!
My community rewards rarely post nor do I get credit. Most of the time but not always I have to chase after it.

I am not looking forward to my renewal date around the 6th sometime next year. We will experience that if we stay with PM long enough. lol.

My reward fund was there since the 6th... logon to My Account and check

For the June Community Reward.
When should the funds be posted in your My Account?

According to your message I would guess you were both in the top 1% so both got $15 off your bill according to the chart that was pointed out earlier .
As far as which one of you should be on top .... edited to say ... it's a phone bill .....
07-13-2021 10:19 AM
Here I'll get you started......
BTW the bar was set pretty low this month for participation so 28/17/0=top 50%
