Community badges

Firstly, I will suggest to adjust few numbers levels:
Bronze
15 Consécutives Attendances
50 Visits
50 Posts at least

Silver
60 Consécutives Attendances ( bronze x4 )
100 Visits (bronze x2 )
100 Posts at least ( bronze x2)

Gold
180 Consécutives Attendances ( silver x3)
200 Visits ( silver x2)
200 Post at least ( silver x2 )

is it really important? I mean: are the badges really an important aspect of this place?

I don’t really know.
At start, I was thinking that badges was childish.

But, finally, badges are a way the community mesure, qualify and quantify each member implication, or proposal.
It’s a way to see if such member is really interressed or not… If one member connect each day without posting , and another one connect one time per month just to show himself.

In other way when a newcomer ask something and there two opposites answers… It’s a way to determine what answer is more relevant, isn’t it?

Is it important?

well… let’s say that @filippo_carletti visit this site just once a month… I know he’s a really NS expert, I don’t need to know which badge he really has…

Sure, until me I don’t care how many badge @filippo_carletti has :grinning:

When he answer something, we just have the Dev Team information, that’s a big information.

Just think it’s a tool for @alefattorini see how is the community health.

Just think the possibility to like an answer, it’s a possibility to the Team to motivate a newcomer to participate more.

I think it’s important when a newcomer post for the first time, or make a proposal to receive one or more like… It’s a good way to motivate. More, yet, when the community is young and small.

Now, I said yes, it’s important.
It’s a good tool for @alefattorini to see the growth of the community, to try to mesure each community adding, and how to motivate, and finally find the right rule for the right member.

This is not just a distribution of sweets. :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

I was looking something on the original Discourse forum.
And look this: Discourse Meta

Euh, well:
8726 users ( basic)
21 Promoters
2 Campaigners
1 Champions

No need to comment, these three badges are not well implemented.

And, to continue, this subject about badges is important because behind All badges…There’s a “trust level”.

With this trust level, as suggered, more the level is elevated, more you can trust, and more you can do thing in Discourse:

On average, in every community there is the 90-9-1 rule. This means that of 100% members, 90% is more or less inactive and only reads, 9% is active and posts regularly and 1% is a community promoter.

Maybe it would be nice if the badges give a more or less accurate image of these percentages in the community. The challenge is to get the active and promoter percentages above average.

As we already seen, the badges are on way to build it’s own reputation, earning trust levels.

Normally, you can see all the badges here:
http://community.nethserver.org/badges ( the hamburguer menu / Badges )

But I had observed some details that are beyond this. like “ModuleMaster”, “Nethserver Fidelis”…
What are these “badges”, how to reach them? :smile:

You can’t understand “Modules Master” without reading this :wink:

@alefattorini was inspired that day :smile:

@Jim I have just reviewed the badges,

That’s the only I have changed, too hard to achieve, now it’s 100 days

I notice that these badges appear achieved only by a few members:

  • Filled user profile information
  • Added an internal link to another topic
  • Shared a post
  • Read the community guidelines

So just a few people can reach the getting started level = Achieved all Getting Started Level badges

What do you think about adding manual badges for:

  • great discussion starter
  • great contributor
  • great idea/feature creator
  • great doc editor

Every community digest I may award members with such badges, how’s that?

@apradoc have you thoughts on this topic?

No, thank you…
funny pics, badges and so on are really “childish” things if not fonfined in a small section of the forums…

this kind of things make professional users think that this is a place for children…

I don’t think, don’t forget it’s a gold badges

6 posts were merged into an existing topic: This kind of things make professional users think that this is a place for children

Ok, 120 is my best :smile:

You are at the command… but 120, it’s too easy :laughing:

look at the like collector, it seem “can be awarded multiple times” don’t work
Perhaps, it not reset after rewarded

Man, 120 days consecutive are 4 months where you have to login EVERY single day, no exceptions. It looks hard for me, as a matter of fact there are only two winners as for now :smile:

You are the CMGR, you have the last word…

But, since I’m here, I’m connecting each day, so this one not seem too hard to achieve.

You ask me my thoughs about the “badge” path… I think 4 months to achieve a gold level path is little short, I think six month should better., there silver badge harder to earn…

I don’t like. It’s not only that fact I’m like or not.
It’s the way to achieve them.

If you look the badge “contributor”, there only one gui who achieve it…So a badge “great contributor” seem absurd.

I think the badgs, actually are globally fine.
Few of them have problems ( the way they work like promoter) or counters that have problems ( like collector).

I think it’s the way to achieve them that should be balanced…
But if you to give me a special one, I already accept :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
