The Open Mic was designed so we could talk about important things and everything that affects our industry.

But despite the pretty serious premise it doesn’t mean that we can’t have some fun, right? 🙂

That’s why we developed a pretty awesome system of points and badges to reward our amazing members.

If you signed up for a free account you probably already know that you can earn points and badges for pretty much anything you do on The Open Mic.

And if you haven’t signed up yet, now is your chance:

Our system of points and badges is fun and engaging.

But more importantly: it was designed to reward our amazing members, not punish them.

Points are solely used to indicate the most engaged members of our community so that we could promote you and your content on The Open Mic.

While badges add an element of gamification, making your interactions with The Open Mic a little bit more enjoyable 🙂
