I really like 1 variant of badges for reports. Shields looks really cool, but i think they need some upgrade. For example, remove this ribbon or remove symbols on ribbon, because we can't see what the author wrote there. And second good idea, it's badges for bans. For now we don't have any signs that means this profile is banned. And for our safety, so that people will can't conduct machinations with account, i think we need badge for ban.

How about some badges which staff members can vote on a monthly basis for the 'best' reporter. Could encourage users to report more, and include more detail, and tackle more complex issues. Why not just go with the same coin theme as the existing rank icons, but in a different color that indicates a white-hat look & feel, such as green? All of these ideas are great, but most of the suggested icons do not fit the current look and feel of what the forums have to offer.
Sometimes the most subtle changes/additions are the most effective ones. Thoughts?
It doesn't stand out enough for me to encourage users to report more. I think making it unique to the current ranking up ones would be better, and more effective in getting more users to report.

I like the shields best so far because they symbolize protection.
Better even would be bells because they may symbolize bell-ringers.
I leave the design with others as there are clearly more talented.

Hoping I'm not repeating anyone's suggestion here, went through a few pages, but being honest I didn't read the full thread. How about a sniffer dog, with the colour changing as the number of reports rises? Not entirely sold on the colours, but could change them to anything. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FCwizI1K.png&t=665&c=y7xeELFChrZUCg) 300 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fj7vB1Hm.png&t=665&c=K-14NYm_4DF_Qg) 1000 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3bD0j4f.png&t=665&c=w5rr-zDpDIf14A) 5000 reports

Icons that are designed to be so small need to be extremely easy to recognize. Unfortunately, yours are not, mate.

Fair point, I guess simplicity is sometimes the key. I liked the idea though, so tried increasing the size a bit. Maybe they look a little less fish like now ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I quite like the Sherlock Holmes ones someone did, instantly recognizable. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8FbfTml.png&t=665&c=l0wS3pZ7l5Wueg) 300 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FRXrqPFr.png&t=665&c=igySWCkPcsGOYg) 1000 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fmnkc5yM.png&t=665&c=DXqX8qsXZvomYA) 5000 reports Or possibly another one of birds, as in the old saying 'a little birdie told me'... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVKvKxYr.png&t=665&c=PpDJDYNeeC5Zkg) 300 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUWgpaN6.png&t=665&c=5OU4XVLAM6_nNQ) 1000 reports ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdnHDDE2.png&t=665&c=ahFao26j1CEzrg) 5000 reports

I like the shields best so far because they symbolize protection But reporters don't protect anyone. Moderators are here to protect and punish - reporters just help them, observe and (obviously) report. How about a sniffer dog I think it would be rude.

All of these ideas are great, but most of the suggested icons do not fit the current look and feel of what the forums have to offer. Here's an example: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8H8juTL.jpg&t=665&c=zpkVREWt2_NUqA) The coin gif is already in use, which means it's royalty-free (I'm assuming), and it's not hard to re-color the existing image that you're already using. The look is uniform, and it matches well with the existing feel of the forums. I modified the milestones a bit, and maybe you could add a half-coin accent (for the fifth coin) for anyone that submits over 10,000 good reports (to match the existing rank icons). Sometimes the most subtle changes/additions are the most effective ones. Thoughts? Yeah, I do agree simplistic changes are effective and look more appropriate. Shields/insignia/caps/nuke, rats/dogs, although all these are very good, IMO, like this one, a simple coin theme that aligns with the existing profile would be better than a "reporter going to war or sniffing around", although that's what reporters (of Bitcointalk) do, but it might look funny and take away the seriousness of time and effort being put into reporting. IMO, this is a good idea, simple and to the point, but not green and milestones can be modified where reporter badge requirements wouldn't end up spamming mods, guess that's all left to spam.

This one is neat, but I'm not sure about the colors. I like them too. The colours can easily be changed. I think the colours should probably be more distinct from each other. I like the shields best so far because they symbolize protection.
Better even would be bells because they may symbolize bell-ringers.
I leave the design with others as there are clearly more talented.
So do condoms. Which protect bell-ends, so maybe combine them both and have some little rubber johnny icons: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.thenounproject.com%2Fpng%2F38163-200.png&t=665&c=N_WmarDLQ6F8Xg)

I think that I'm going to add some badges for people who report a bunch of posts. Maybe one for 300 good reports, one of 1000, and one for 5000. Does anyone want to make or find these images? They have to be exactly 16x16 px (like ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcointalk.org%2FThemes%2Fcustom1%2Fimages%2Fbadges%2Fhacker.png&t=665&c=8jGHcDRIf_ghSg) ), and if you find them online, then they must be copyright-free. I think that the badge should look like a pen on the background of a sheet of paper. The background of the sheet will denote the "productivity" of the author. For example: Copper sheets - 300; Silver - 1000; Gold - 5000. Something like that ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.ibb.co%2Fek88Jz%2F111458.jpg&t=665&c=9d2LO0fiR9jbeA)

Now my question is why do you chose Red as the color of the "Good report Badge"? You can use green instead.
I chose Red as the color of the "Good report Badge", because for me this color means wealth and strength. From history we know that this is the color of kings...

Looks good initiatives. By the way, I am a little bit curious on who will count the report threads, especially valid report threads? Will the forum have a new bot to do this or this task will do manually by forum staffs?

To me, and most people, the difference between condoms and bells are clear. Most social media platforms also use bell symbols. Have you ever mistaken those for condoms? Not that it must be bells, but like everyone else here I'm just adding suggestions.
