Why did my Level II commentor status disappear?
I have been at Level II status for several weeks, and then today, the accolade disappeared from my profile. Any ideas why?
I can only assume it disappears if your participation drops off and will be earnt once again in time. I believe there are a few accolades that come and go ( unfortunately )
Sorry to hear about your loss of commenter status. The system is performance-based, and flawed in my opinion because it rewards people for quantity not quality. In fact, that accolade should never have been introduced. It is all about generating pageviews to increase profits.
The same thing happened to me just las' night. The accolade for comments dropped off for a couple of hours (I'm level 6.) Now it's back as usual. Other strange things have been happening also.
I think these 'strange happenings' are related to the 'bug' (virus) this website is having trouble with. You will note we have been warned we may see "erroneous hub violations symbols." I think the issues the bug is causing are more extensive than the administrators of this site may yet be aware of.
I think you are right and it hasn't quit. My page views have been cut in half since their 'virus' popped up. My hub score has also fallen way down, probably because people aren't seeing my page.
Well, it's back up today. Must have just been an error. Thanks for the responses!

Why has my commentator accolade status vanished?I was a level VI commentator. But now it is not showing anything.

An Accolade is an award for an achievement. But Commenter Level isn't an award for achievement - it's just a measure of your commenting activity at that point in time. In that sense, it's more like Hubber Score. The trouble is that people think it is an award for achievement...

I only had two awards so far and one of those has been taken away and I am not sure why. Is there any developers or experienced hubbers that can answer this question and tell me how to gain it back along with others to come (hopefully).
