So, we have badges now!

Currently there are two in the system, one for guide makers and one for Ackeron's Amiibo contest. What I need from all y'all are two things, really:

1) Suggestions for people to get the guide maker badge. They should be long running and well maintained, not something that got slapped up in a weekend and maintained for a month before fading away.

2) Suggestions for additional badges. The idea here is that it should be for something community related; people who actually contribute and build things up. They should also be reasonably rare; the whole point is that it's something extra for someone who's put in the work to help build up the community.

I'd consider giving them to the Windower team, specifically cause it's also easier to know who is actually currently working on it.

But I dunno if it's allowed!

I thought about that too, and don't mind adding it, but all Windower devs have VIP as it is.

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGES.

(Seha has done stupidly well with the corsair guide and should probably get one. Also, while I don't really "follow" it, I looked at the beastmaster guide the other day and that monster is freaking exhaustive. Either give that fella/gal a badge, or at least a drink.)

She has one! Seha, Falkirk, Prothescar got the first three, because I've used all three of those guides extensively.

I'd say the frequent P&R posters should get a badge. Not because we've done anything worthwhile, but as a warning to the others.

maybe a badge for having a top screenshot or something?
or those who donate? (pay2win badges)

Could do achievement based badges but I think badges should be exclusive to community involvement.

I was thinking maybe fan-art/fan-fic badges. Then I looked through the fanart forum and was disappointed by the lack of submissions :(

What other ways do regular users contribute to this site besides guides though?

I"d do fanart again if I could get a shiny badge for it! that's some motivation

I feel strongly against that particular type of contests.

Yeah, it's not a particularly easy question to answer (unless you're Drac). There's a reason I only added the two to start.

Fanart would work for me. A contest, maybe?

The donation stuff is weird because most people choose to do it anonymously (but I'm not opposed to that as a badge option either).

similar ones to strengthen our camaraderie
In my opinion they do the opposite: they encourage cliqueness and not camaraderie.

Besides, things that can cause a spike of spamminess I think are probably best avoided. Honestly, we should keep this as simple as possible and not try too hard to find something to insert it into.

At the very least, please make keeping the donation page up to date if you can.

Imagine some guy giving 100 bucks to ffxiah and you guys don't even say thanks or update the donations page etc
"Well I hope the money didn't go to a dead email and is never ever spent or found. Sure glad I did that *** -_-" type attitude

I know it's quickly becoming running joke territory, but that's not something I have access to ;) I'll ping the boss about it, though.

you donate because you want the site to live on, not because you want recognition and fame :v

Well, that's honourable and all, but a business probably shouldn't care and just go with whatever brings in revenue.

I mean, it's not like you're clubbing seals, it's just a thank you badge...hopefully...

We could go full freemium. That's a solid business model.
