I barely understand the badges now! Just figured out you can click on a build thread badge and it takes you to the build thread!

Check it out!!

@revhtree i think it’s a great idea. I love collecting badges (I’m a weird fish I know lol)

but I also just love this community. It’d be pretty cool to have a commendation for furthering the knowledge and goodness of this community

You will very rarely ever see me use that term when referring to our community members but in this case I feel it is appropriate. I was speaking about something technical in technical terms. But pardon me if I offended you.
No apology need, sir. I know you are careful with how you interact with folk and I felt compelled to mention my concern. Thanks for this beautiful site for reefers to enjoy

Private message is a great tool for this purpose. Why call someone out like that for something you know was said with no ill intent?

Along the same note, when new badges are created, may I suggest adding its description to the link below? Some badge meanings aren't clear, and were never updated in the article below, such as Reef Tank 365.

Local club/ forum badges would be cool and serve a purpose. I think I've seen a few already. WTB TCMAS badge!

Is there somewhere I can find a glossary of all the available badges and how to earn them? If not, can we suggest a chart in a sticky in the new member area? I'm kind of a "collector" (a bad attribute when you own corals) once I know there is a chance to collect things....
Thanks!

I think that could potentially be awesome! A badge for a Youtube channel would be cool, or maybe badges for independent sellers? More person-specific badges (like Crab's Glitter Fairy badge) would be cool too, for more defines members of the community.

I know some of you like badges and some of you don't. For those that don't just ignore this thread! For everyone else I would like your input please!

So Facebook gives a little icon to users who create content so I was thinking maybe we could do the same. What about a badge for members who consistently create good threads and to be a "good thread" it would have to meet certain criteria like so many views, so many responses, so many likes etc.. Something like that.

What do y'all think?

Being one of those "badge" people I'm always for creating a new one. For this one in particular I'm curious how it differs from the R2R Excellence badge? Maybe I'm missing context for the Excellence badge itself. With that said I still would vote for another badge, I do like the different color schemes/patterns the 2021 Partner Member badge is HOT like Hansel! I'm still working on getting the Glitter Fairy badge... even though I have no idea what I'm doing to get it :)

Looking forward to seeing where this goes! Watching and waiting:)
