So which badges do you want?

Be careful what you ask for

PS: doing this was @Desmond David's idea

Go to Profile > Badges
Select the ones that you want to display by clicking on the loudspeaker

More importantly, is there a badge that you guys want?

if you want to award a badge to a specific user, post here

if you have a good idea for a badge, post here

Some badges are reserved for discretion by the mods, this is just the thread to suggest new badge ideas

I think the list of badges is exhaustive enough.

How do I change my default badge?

Can you elaborate ? I am unable to find it. Don't know if I'm looking at the wrong place.

Based on their description, can I get Steam user and PC build expert?
Maybe Keyboard warrior as well (laptop has mechanical keyboard XD ) ?

Linux/Open-source(open-sauce?) enthusiast is a must. Also geek badge could turn out to be a disaster, the geekdom is even in the url of site. Almost everyone here would be a geek.

But more importantly how are admins supposed to know that I am a potterhead etc? At first I thought this would be a thread to ask for badges to be rewarded
:emoji_sweat_smile:
but it turns out it is not? How even can admins keep up with rewarding badges to new members? Wouldn't a option of user to award himself/herself a specific no. of badges (say 4) would be really cool and manageable while also not badge spamming? If the idea is to make it like a honor medallion, at least how to get the required badge must be provided.

PS. the icons of badges are really cool, and so is the idea (Kudos to @Desmond David, interesting idea indeed).
PPS. I am baffled on how you didn't reward Science geek badge to urself @Anorion:)

go to profile > badges
there will be a list of badges you have been awarded, click on the loudspeaker icon next to the badge to make it red, it will show up on your profile

are you a potterhead? yeah go ahead and ask here lol, we will deal with it if and when that becomes a problem, and we may say no to someone who does not deserve it. Mods can always remove badges from people.

Can I too get Steam User badge like Saiyangoku is asking since I too am a Steam user as well.

Yeah, still waiting for my letter though, maybe they have increased the age to be a wizard. Any news on mr. potty, though :grin:?

Great! Here are the ones -:
1. Bookworm
2. Science geek- certainly not based on the description lol, will instead consider astronut if something funny is being done on us geeks (still am confused why you didn't give it to urself?)
3. Coding enthusiast - not master mind you ;)

) _ _ __/°°¬

Well, I do use all -:
Steam user
Spotify user
Unity

What does geek badge mean btw? I mean everyone here would be a geek wouldn't they?

If a opensauce badge comes up I am innit fo sure :)


The description for Debate master seems too mellow, shouldn't it be like, "could have been a great politician":lol:.

The ideas for new badges come too fast lol, like a badge for blender user (like unity user), pcfan@10000rpm (like android and applefan) , digit staff badge for digit editors maybe?

Dunno, how popular this feature remains in the community, though its a pretty fun one imo.

We are giving badges depending on contributions to sections and threads
but it is easy to miss out on people or interests
like some obvious people might not have gotten badges
If there is anything you want just ask, if it is appropriate mods and admins can award

Done. There is no math geek badge though. If it can be created, we can award that.

You will also have to choose the badges to be displayed under your username.

The interface is kinda weird. The available badges tab doesn't show up in your profile until after you already have a badge.

Select the ones that apply to you from here Badges and ask to be bedecked by it by the admins. The system should be other way around, but its difficult for admins to check every single post of every single member and award them badges according to it.

Ohhh, I see.
So I need to ping some admin with all the respective badges that I wish to have on my profile?

That is too many badges. Your profile won't have much space to accommodate all those :D

I don't see such a badge in the list. I am not sure if we can create more badges like this. Perhaps @Anorion can check and see.
