Lionhead Community : Badging Madness

Badging Madness

Published Monday, March 10, 2008 7:04 PM by Sam

Most of the Members on our community site are familiar with the concept of badges. We don't want to label people into certain groups, but we do want to point out to all members of the Lionhead community what certain members do or what they've achieved. This is why we're using images, called badges, which are displayed on a user's post profile bit. For example Lionhead employees will have a Lionhead Dev badge, etc. Badges are given to people by Lionhead Administrators.

With the help of our former-HK members and moderators have introduced a new set of badges for our members! You can see the entire list here.

Some of these have been handed out to people today (there are some oldbies, lurkers and naughty members) so congratulate them if you see anyone. Apart from naughty members, because they've been...well...naughty.

	Mortalitis_Infinitas said: Cool stuff Sam! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for members who might deserve one or more of the badges. Like Sam said, we handed out a few badges today and will be handing out even more as time goes by. Congrats to those who received one. March 10, 2008 2:26 PM

	Rapture_Tourist said: Nice idea, it gives a compelling kick to the boards March 10, 2008 4:19 PM
	Orakaius said: Hehe blog entry sam btw I have a fansite March 10, 2008 5:19 PM
	rosecruix said: Hmm nice idea, but I am think that you should give out badges for those who live in certain forums eg, fable, b&w, the movies. Not all of us play all the games and it would not make sense for someone who plays one certain game to be in a forum for a game that they never play. I do not whinge much..but as a female I enforce my right! March 10, 2008 5:20 PM
	mcpaddyb said: do you get one if you visit everyday but dont neccessarily post more than once, becuase thats what i do. well most of the time i contribute. P.S i think there should be level in between member and senior member because i saw a guy who had posted 700+ posts but was still a member. March 10, 2008 5:48 PM

	TheIwatchingyou said: We've all wanted a badge since Prof became the King of Donuts. I miss my old badges, you had to go and change the rules about who what MK and HK just before the transfer... ah well these should be nice. March 10, 2008 10:28 PM

	Blaghman said: Wheres the badge for overall kick-assedness? Cos I really think I know who that should go to... Yeah, you're right, it's Sam, but still, wheres my badge for ummm, being the person.... with the BAIL(runs out of room). March 11, 2008 3:23 AM
	ProfYaffel said: Please keep you hands away from the badge... There can be only one King of the Donuts... Nothing to do with his size indeed... you wait till I see you next... March 11, 2008 11:58 AM

	Khione said: I feel naked without a lurker badge... March 12, 2008 12:22 AM
	BusStopWilly said: I love my modder badge. I never leave home without it! Makes me feel as proud as a dog with a tin d**k. .It's the little things like this that keep us all happy! BSW March 12, 2008 6:06 AM
	Tarison said: I was a little worried about it at first, but reluctantly grew to accept my Modder badge Thankfully answering "yeah, scripts" does a lot to deter people from asking for stuff March 12, 2008 8:55 AM
	twelthdoctor said: Oh No! labels everywhere! I'll make my own badge: The Invisible Badge Of Cosmic Self-Importance! It is for normal people who are to lazy to work more than average but feel bad about not being the best in their group. Also, a "doesn't work hard but still excells in academia" award would be nice . . . Why is everyone backing away? Why me? Why??? . . . March 12, 2008 11:10 AM
	MJLOVER said: Khione totally deserves a Lurker badge And nice news Sam. I'll look out for people that might be deserving of a badge March 12, 2008 11:28 AM
	guitarscout said: Wow. Nice list you got there. Hopefully that comes into effect for me soon. lol! March 13, 2008 3:47 AM
	stomp224 said: Aahh, a sneaky update to include the member badge! I promise I'll look after my badge (although I still think someone has hacked my account and been posting on my behalf...... ) March 13, 2008 6:10 AM
	TheIwatchingyou said: where is my iBall badge? or does being a slave to microsoft prevent you from giving my iAnything? March 15, 2008 5:45 AM
	Angel_Within said: Badgessszzz March 16, 2008 8:41 PM
	deathtastic09 said: I should get lurker badge mmmm, sounds creepy. March 23, 2008 12:54 AM
	Mameluke said: i like this award giving achievements cause it makes me want to post more comments. i want to be categorized and to be put into groups it gives me a sort of meaning to things. it gives me a reason to come up with excuses. like for example the brigmires test, where u are giving four letters and it is dependent on your personality and i am an ENTP, the visionary quiet guy kind of the thing. i blame being quiet on the fact that i am an ENTP and therfore i see categorizing and reward giving rejoicing and entertaining.
