Rick douglas is a bright and passionate lighting designer. following his passion for innovative lighting solutions, he founded a company called dazzle in 2000. dazzle is a successful, small company with annual revenue of $25 million. it offers residential, commercial, and theatrical lighting solutions. apart from rick, there are several other owners in the company who have made tremendous contributions to its growth. the profits are shared in a fair manner among all owners. because dazzle is not a separate tax entity, all the owners declare revenue earned through the company on their personal federal tax returns. the success of the company turned douglas and the other owners into millionaires. rick has a villa in the prestigious kimberly hills area. the $5 million dollar villa is protected from business liabilities unless the liability is incurred through wrongful acts.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
