New Badges

[gagux123]

Hello guys, how are you?

So, I was looking into the badges that exist in BitcoinTalk.

I would like to share my opinion (if this is possible)

What do you think about the feasibility of inserting new badges here on the forum?
Any analysis in relation to this?

What do you think about inserting a badge related to economy? (I don't know if economics would be the most correct word to exemplify), but for the user to have this badge, he needs to have solid knowledge of macroeconomics, monetary theory, knowledge of how the market behaves.

Another badge that I thought might be interesting to insert in the forum would be a badge related to the "research user", as he doesn't have the necessary knowledge to be a "Bitcoin expert" or "Bitcoin-Qt", an excellent way for him to contribute on the forum is, writing and sharing scientific papers (perhaps from your master's degree or PhD), perform researchs, and always analyzing and seeking knowledge for cryptocurrencies.

I believe that if they insert these new badges, it will probably encourage users who have a lot of knowledge on this topic to always be sharing with us their knowledge, analysis and other things.

What do you think!!? Is this really feasible?

Of course, this is my humble opinion on this subject.
I am so grateful to be sharing my idea with you!

obs: I searched the forum and didn't find any topic related about new badges, so I created this one.

regards,

This the original thread for discussion of badges from John K (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0), The thread is still active but it was a general thread for rank, badges and positions so it might mix up. I don't know if this new thread is appropriate but proposal for new badge is good for people that don't have arts skills to finally have some of it on there profile.

New badges for economists.
New badges for researcher.
New badges for bitcoin holder.
New badges for altcoin holder.
New badges for dogecoin holder.
New badges gambler.
New badges for campaign manager.
New badges for what more?
No problem but please be sure that the username is visible.

A badge for reporter is still pending. Reporter badge would be certainly reducing the spam by encouraging people to report more. Pray for that, please.

Seeking reporter badge images

If theymos did not add new badges for reporter, badges for economics are impossible.

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.

And symbols. From Bitcoin symbol to altcoin symbols, admins are not interested in.
Bitcoin Currency Symbol ฿
What is the symbol for Altcoins?

Bitcointalk Post Iconizer - Altcoin Plugin
Bitcointalk Post Iconizer - Custom post / PM editing buttons for adding BB code

@Beparanf, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a specific thread for this.
 
Well, (it's the first time this has happened to me), is it feasible for me to delete this topic? Or can I just close the thread so there's no comment?

I also agree with you, I find this interesting, as not all users have in-depth knowledge about this topic (Dev&Tech - Bitcoin-Qt core develope)

@SquirrelJulietGarden, is that true? What were the obstacles to not creating a reporter badge?

You can just lock this topic by yourself and write your things in the https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 thread there !
About the reporter badges you have to ask theymos why they are not activated and on the Forum .
Possible you may get an answer or not , there are a few years now since he was thinking about to create them .
