Mahalo Announces a New Brown Belt Test for @maggieray - PASS!

Once a Mahalo user reaches 8,000 points they have a chance to cast aside their trusty Purple Belt and upgrade to the much sought after Brown Belt. In order to earn the right to this iconic accessory, the Mahalo staff will look into the history of the user and decide whether or not they are ready to walk the streets wrapped in Brown. Many aspects are considered in such a test - how long has the user been active on the site, how many questions and answers have they contributed, how many "best answers" do they claim, how generous are they when spreading the M$ love around, and - most importantly - do they posses the upbeat and positive, rockstar attitude that makes a Mahalo brown belt truly stand above the crowd? We'll find out today when we test ... @maggieray !

COMMUNITY - Use this opportunity to tell us why *you* think @maggieray deserves this Coffee-Colored mark of honor! Feel free to share any memories or Q&A you two have shared!

@MAGGIERAY: if you leave an answer to this question telling us something you love about Mahalo, and why you're proud to be a Brown Belt, you'll also get the M$10 tip - nice!)

================
PASS PASS PASS!

Well it's pretty obvious that @maggieray deserves this mark of honor - look at all the nice things everyone has to say about her! She has 270 best answers under her (now Brown) belt - but something equally as impressive is the amount of tips she's given back to the community - over M$260!! @maggieray is the epitome of a helpful Mahaloian, as well as a dynamite Mahalo Guide. I am thrilled to welcome her, her knowledge, and her enthusiasm for the Mahalo community into the Brown Belt club!
Tip for best answer: M$13.78
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Wow, thanks! I know I was here yesterday and not sure how I missed this and hey coffee colored matches my favorite drink! I love the ability to try new things, work on different aspects of Mahalo and jump in every now and then to answer a question or two. I really enjoy reading the answers people give here. I read a whole lot more than I answer but try to vote while reading.

Thanks Corey!

Can't say enough about @maggieray! She truly deserves this. Something I love about @maggieray is @maggieray. She is awesome all around! Her answers are very helpful and full of wisdom. She is kind and sensible...a great combination of logic and reason. :)

@Maggieray has always been polite, down-to-earth, and so knowledgeable here on Mahalo Answers, she's an automatic for this promotion! I have seen her in all the arenas of Mahalo and this makes her the most well rounded Brown Belt ever!

Congratulations and may you have plenty of ribbons!

I haven't haven't met maggieray, BUT I am familiar with over half of the people that support this Coffee-flavored honor. I there by proxy support this 'upgraded' status.

If they are half as nice as everyone says, then that would explain it (besides me being brand new)

I tend to hang out in the dark side of Mahalo and follow more troubling questions. That and it's close to Halloween, so my questions reflected it.

(DON'T LAUGH! I LIKE KITTENS!!!)

Maggie's had many good answers in many areas, although she's great in the area of food! So much so that a coffee-colored belt is just what she needs!

I know what you mean about feeding a hoard of kids. I regularly feed a crowd of foodie kids, which is even more interesting than feeding the usual variety. :-)

I'm currently drinking a cinnamon-pecan streusel iced frappucino in your honor. Has nothing to do with the fact it's unber-yummy. Oh, no. I'm being entirely selfless!

maggieray's Avatar
maggieray | 1 year, 7 months ago Report

Wow that frappucino sounds great! ordering more coffee is on my list of things to do today and I have not had anything pecan flavored in a while. I believe that will be what I look for first. Hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks tracebooks! After feeding a hoard of kids for so long, food is just a natural place to hang out. I am going to try to branch out more but I seem to always gravitate back!

How cool it is MaggieRay, I have not met you either but since I aspire to where you have already made it to, I want to be the first to say that you are an inspiration along with all those who have made it before you and I hope you pass the test. I will be joining you at brown fairly soon.

I can personally attest to the fact that Mahalo is a much better place due to @maggieray. When I made my first venture into How-To pages (way back when), @maggieray hung in with me through thick and thin. (I could research and write but I couldn't figure out how to get the right info in the right box to save my life.)

Thanks @maggieray, I will never forget your support or the fact that you didn't make me feel stupid that I couldn't figure it out. I vote you 200% Brown Belt and so much more!

Nancy,
I remember my firsts tasks and wondering if I was doing it right. I always believe once you have figured out how to do something you should make that path a bit easier for the person who comes behind you. I'm happy I could help you. Thanks for your kind words.

has anyone ever failed one of these "tests?"

Just wondering. Hey, if the user has the points... give him his darned belt. Congratulations, Maffleray!

Thanks Hartwell. I don't know if anyone has ever not passed but that's one thing I'd prefer not to be the "first" in!

There once was a Mahalo member named @davepamn.......I am not sure if he actually "failed" the black belt test per se, or if it was just never offered to him. Instead, he was removed from the site.

@hartwell how the luck on that video issue? My roomie said you were using one of the more difficult video programs out there... he told me it needed to be pillar boxed... and I certainly tried to find simpler instructions... no luck
