Once you reach 8000 points you become eligible for your Brown Belt on Mahalo, but that belt is only presented after Mahalo staff consult the users numbers and activity to see if that user is in fact ready to become a Brown Belt Mahaloian. Today we test @bunnyphuphu:

What is there to say about Bunnyphuphu...She's helpful: arguably one of the most helpful users on Mahalo Answers today. (She ranks in the Top 20 for both the most answers and the most Best Answers). She's fun: probably one of the most instantly recognizable and engaging "personalities" on MA. She's eager to get involved and learn new things: her managed pages on the Chihuahua and one of my favorite current series, ''Dexter'', are off to great starts. And finally, she's committed: I see her on Mahalo Answers every day, and NOT JUST answering questions for Mahalo Dollars, but participating in all levels of the community. (She comments frequently on belt tests and survey-style questions, and interacts with all kinds of members in all kinds of other threads as well.) She's a tremendous asset to the MA community and I'm very pleased to recommend her for a brown belt. (Now change that "brown tip" bunny avatar! It looks like he's going potty!)

Bunnyphuphu is not only a great participant and contributor to Mahalo Answers, she has quickly vaulted herself as one of the most popular and interesting users in the community. Bunnyphuphu is one of the first Brown Belt testees that I do not even have to look at the stats to realize the value she brings to this community, I couldn't pass her fast enough. @bunnyphuphu is not only active in the community in answering questions, she helps with a lot of the "under the radar" work that needs to be done within Mahalo Answers such as, voting on undecided questions, marking questions as interesting, and answers as helpful.

Bunnyphuphu is very active in the Mahalo Answers community. She is helpful and positive and provides detailed and informative answers to various questions. She also manages several pages on Mahalo and asks questions on different topics. When answering questions, she incorporates humor when appropriate and often illustrates her answers with pictures, which often causes me to smile when I read her answers. She also asks users direct questions and gives encouraging messages to both new and old Mahalo members.

Didn't we just make Bunnyphuphu purple? She sure did jump to brown fast! She has to post some of the funniest images and statements I have seen on here. Great at jumping into conversations and trying to help as much as she possibly can. Although her question rank is actually higher than some of our black belts, I would like to see her ask more questions and spread some money around the community a little more. Great job, Pass!
