New: Badges

Postby joem on December 13th, 2011, 5:20 pm #2248087

This week we launched member badges to reward different types of participation on the site. We'll be slowly adding to the badges you can win over the coming months (you can see the full list at badges.php ).

Some of you might wonder why you're getting badges for feats you accomplished years ago. That's because we still value that contribution, even if it did happen years ago! Thanks for being here and doing stuff!

If you have any questions about this new feature, post 'em here.

I can't believe nobody's gone for the obvious joke yet.

Why can't we give you a thumb's down joe?
It is such a wonderful feature, why do you shield yourself from the voiceless negative nellies?

I don't want to give you a thumbs down, I just want to be able to do it.

Could I have some more prizes/badges?
How about a "Smarmy" badge to add to my collection?

Boy I hope no one gives me a thumb's down, that would just crush me.

I would also like to be able to give myself thumbs down.
I can get out of line sometimes and I need to keep myself in check.

One should be able to give a thumbs down to anyone, including moderators, in any post, not just here.

What is the point of having thumbs up and down if the functionality is limited?
Why is it disabled in some threads?

The thumbs functionality is disabled on the first post of every thread -- that's the way it was built. I don't know why it was built that way, but it was.

There aren't any threads thumbing is disabled on -- however, thumbs-down is disabled on any comment older than a week. We do this so mean-spirited folk can't go back and vindictively thumb-down all the old comments by a particular member (this is something that was happening).

How much fun is this? Yay! Thanks, Joe! :D

Pay no mind to the negative haters here.

I am already the proud owner of two badges! Now that I'm already the mayor of everything, this is something cool to do that's new. In the meantime, Randy and I can go back to our previous competition: something about a car and ultimate superiority.

I got badges for being both a beginner and a new thumb-er. What's the difference?

And, more importantly, where are these badges displayed so that everyone else can gaze in wonder at my amazing accomplishments? :mrgreen:

Hi Em,

You get "New Thumb-er" for your first thumb-up or -down, and "Beginning Thumb-er" for your fifth.

We'll be publishing the number of badges you've won in your profile chunk on the forums at some point in the near future.

You can get a photo badge, also!

You're too late, I already declared myself the winner and got my own badge to prove it.

Okay, I am a little confused (nothing new)....did I receive a badge for photos I posted on YourHub? or elsewhere? And how do I let my large following on facebook, activerain and other sites know about this wonderful accomplishment! Thanks for the honor!
