BTT badges

[TECSHARE]

It's pretty easy to add a new badge and manually (or automatically) assign it to people, but with the reporter badge I didn't originally consider that people might reasonably want to opt-out of having the badge. Adding that functionality is a bit more difficult. Maybe sometime in 2020.

I also don't want the left side of threads to look like a rainbow explosion, so I probably won't add too many additional badges, either.

Would it be possible to add a set number of slots, say like 3, and let users fill as many or as few of those as they like? It seems like this would be half of the work you are planning to do any way by adding the ability to opt out. This would be a way to have your cake and eat it too so to speak allowing use  of badges without it being a total eyesore.

Yes, It could just be like the current coin badges which are increased as per the rank, a specific number of slots could be allocated and filled as the number of good reports increases. And of course adding a badge disabling option would work it all out.

I like this idea, that'd set room for more badges to come.

The badge on the bitcointalk account as a tribute to the best work is not bad idea.
I hope the badge is in the shape of a brush, it will look cool.

You mean the current voting for the artist badge, am I right? I have this idea that it could be a pallet and a brush but let's see first what will theymos came up with the design, I am pretty sure that the feature of it is if it hovered it will reveal the true meaning of that badge, no wonder and I congratulate those winners in advance for getting it.

Could you implement this similar to how Copper Memberships are implemented? That is, once you reach x number of good reports, you have a 'paid' membership whose only changed permissions are the reporter badge. 'Wearing' the special membership would not affect the person's displayed title (unless this is an additional feature you wanted to offer).

Seems good too, but have you seen the badge of a bitcoin experts I guess that should be the same if ever reporters badge implemented, it's just my huge hunch that it will be the same like that.

Can we see the final design of these badges? Since the addition of badges is easy, why is the number allocated, 53 users? Will more members be added? Can you add most members by giving badges with several colors?

I think adding 5 badges "one for artistic design, some colors and the rest to encourage members to create better content^*" next to the coins would not be a "rainbow explosion."
