Title: New design of profile in bitcointalk.org
Post by: Raffy11 on November 23, 2017, 12:32:13 PM
Maybe it will be more fun if they will make a new design for our profile here lets say for example there must be a photo or a new league for those high earners. Its just an opinion what would you think?

I'm not sure what you mean by a new league so if you could expand on that more clearly that would be great. Also the photo you speak of I assume if the avatar which is available once you become a certain rank which is called full time member.

I think he just means another member rank or unlocking some soft of achievement with a badge or something like they have on some other forums. There are certain little unique 'badges you can get like these ones:

Badges

I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:

https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/expert.png Bitcoin expertDev&Tech only. People with this badge know enough about the Bitcoin network to reimplement something very like it from scratch. They are capable of intelligently discussing the Bitcoin network: current protocol, possible attacks, proposed changes, etc. Criteria: Recommendation by an existing Bitcoin expert or core dev and approval by a forum administrator.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/qt.png Bitcoin-Qt core developer Dev&Tech only. These are the core developers of Satoshi's Bitcoin client. They are listed here (http://bitcoin.org/en/development). Core developers are among the top contributors to Bitcoin-Qt, and they are all bitcoin experts, though they don't also get that badge.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/hacker.png The Glider(hacker symbol) Awarded for people who have responsibly disclosed forum security flaws.

A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs.

I think there should be another rank added after (or before) Legendary which is at 1550 activity though, because so many people are now legendary and it will just become more common as time goes on if no new ranks are added.

There's already a new design for BTCtalk being created so I think a new profile design is already too late, head on over https://beta.bitcointalk.org to see it, do mind that it is still being worked on.

There's no need for a photo as you can set your own avatar after reaching Full Member, unless you were thinking about photo similar to Facebook, which will encourage photo spam ::)

Kinda agree with this idea, the mountain at the top is already getting crowded, let's create another one above that
