How to Earn your Brown Belt
8,000 points indicates you are ready for brown belt, this is the Mahalo Elite. You don't automatically get your brown belt, you first need to pass a test conducted by the Mahalo Staff, you can see some of the tests conducted here.
Mahalo users are subjected to the test because of the advance editing options that become available to you as a brown belt. Mahalo expects brown belts to become the elite users who will essentially be real examples of what it means to be the best type of user on Mahalo. You will need to be experienced in Page Management and have had some approved Mahalo Tasks in order to pass your Brown Belt.
If we do not believe you are fit for the brown belt, we will contact you prior to the point where you reach 8000 points and explain why and how you can improve. -
