Do message board posts count to meet the contribution requirements to join Community Outreach?
Robin
Previously a user had to have 100 contributions by asking, answering, or editing questions and message board posts did not go towards that 100 contributions needeed to meet the requirment. Currently the only requirement to join the Community Outreach program is you have to be at least 13 years old. All you need to do to join is to send your request and email address to communityoutreach @ wikianswers.com (remove the spaces). There is no required number of contributions you need to join now.

How do the WikiGuides contact the community members in Community Outreach?
The most common way for WikiGuides in Community Outreach to contact the members of the Answers community is by utilizing the onsite message boards. They sometimes contact them through forum posts and occasionally email.
How do you welcome new contributors to WikiAnswers?
One way is to join the Community Outreach program and become a WikiGuide Greeter. WikiGuides have access to a list of new contributors. They go to the new contributor's message board and welcome them to the site. Community Outreach has an ongoing WikiGuide contest, with a prize each month for the WikiGuide who greets the most new contributors. For more information on joining Community Outreach and becoming a WikiGuide, you can contact Robin at robin @ wikianswers.com (remove the spaces) or leave a message on her message board.
When you become a WikiGuide how do you get the WikiAnswers Community Outreach badge when you message someone?
You must be referring to the signature badges, which are no longer used by the WikiGuides.
How do you paste badges on a user's message board?
Community Outreach has several graphics for WikiGuides to use in their Community Outreach messages. When you become a WikiGuide, you are provided with a document entitled "How To Be A WikiGuide." The links to those graphics as well as instructions on how to insert them into messages is in that document. If you are a member of Community Outreach or are interested in becoming a WikiGuide, you may also email communityoutreach @ wikianswers.com (no spaces) for a new copy of "How To Be A WikiGuide."
