Badges for supporters

Hello,

Are there any plans for badges on this forum for supporters hitting 1000 posts? I believe I deserved it ;)
Dmitry coming close.

Users sorted by posts count:
memberlist.php?mode=&sk=d&sd=d#memberlist

I see there is a Rank column. If badges are not available at this moment, I can accept some rank :)

Best regards.

Just for you, I will figure out how to enable badges or ranks.

Looks like ranks are easy to enable: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ranks-v3x/

Each rank has a "title" and "minimum posts" associated with it. What naming scheme do you like for ranks? Here are some ideas: https://theadminzone.com/threads/what-a ... use.30397/

100 Techie
250 Nerd
500 Geek
1 000 Expert
2 500 Genius
5 000 Master
10 000 Guru

I like the theme. Some thoughts:

  • Nerd/Geek labels could be considered derogatory.
  • Smaller gaps between low ranks may be more encouraging to newer users.
  • Adding approximate counts from memberlist.php?sk=d&sd=d for reference.
  • I'm at ~7500 posts, and next closest is ~1000, so we probably don't need ranks above 2000 yet :)
How about:

0 Newbie (=> many users)
10 Techie (=> many users)
50 Mentor (=> 24 users)
100 Expert (=> 8 users)
500 Master (=> 2 users)
1 000 Genius (=> 1 user)
2 000 Guru (=> 1 user)

@Marshall Can we change the "Genius" rank to "Long-time contributor"? Some people may not understand that this is just a badge and I wouldn't want to look like a "smart ass". Thank you!
