@GlueBot @JustATearDropAway @EasyCucumber9508

@Charli Thank you so much xx

@Heather

Yay I earned wise one badge :) hehe! Never knew I attended over 500 group chats :o

@JoyIntoDarkness. thats great

@JoyIntoDarkness

Well done!<3

@Heather How do you earn compassion hearts?

@LunatikChik when you say something kind or supportive in the group support rooms, or when talking with a listener someone might "heart" you...when you see a red heart appear beside your comment...those are the compassion hearts.

Yay, I've just joined 'The Groovy Gang!!'

@rebel11

Yay! <3

It's really cool that that members now have badges too. It'll make them feel less left out. Everyone here does a lot of good to the community. I love this! Thanks @Heather. :)

(btw I've seen someone with two badges, is that supposed to happen or is it supposed to upgrade or something. Oh and can you PM me? :) )

@Kaylee Am I the one, with 2 badges? xD

@JustATearDropAway

Lol maddi yasss gurlll I was speaking of you *flips hair*

@Kaylee I feel kinda honored, to be the only member with 2 badges *Flips Hair, that barely exists*

@Kaylee - yes, @heather and the community team have been pushing this for a long time and the mean old product manager and programmers finally stopped putting it off :)

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Nice. But members are able to lead discussions now? It's nice but people have been abusing ever since the badges came out haha. It's annoying. You might wanna check the discussion monitors and fix ittt pleaseee and thank you XD XD :D

@Kaylee my exact thoughts its amazing

i don't like this , it's very complicated tbh , can u chang it back like it was before please

@niceMap6412

What makes it complicated lovely?<3

My nickname at Primary School was 'Wisdom/Wise Guy' so I guess the 'Wise One' badge fits me nicely! XD

Love the new badges, looks really nice.

I love this so much! All the awesome and supportive members in the group support rooms are finally getting some recognition!

now is even harder to follow a conversation because the chat room looks extremely disorganized. There's too much info displayed there and you can't really focus one one thing at the time. Not a good update.

@HopeSolo

Resizing the chat might help, give it a go!!

@rebel11 it looks really messy.... and I don't know how that's helpful or supportive to everyone but whatever....

i dont want these badges.... please take any away i have... otherwise i wil make another account... if you're so dead set on people not making multiple accounts then please respect my wishes here... otherwise i will spam the forum until its done... if i need toi seek another form of action, i can do that too... and thanks

@Carbie - making threats is no way to proceed, even if you don't like a change.

How about taking the time to explain what it is that concerns you, so that we can possibly find an agreeable accommodation, before immediately going into threat mode?

cc @heather

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn i just dont like them... whatever purpose they serve or reflect the person as, i am none of it... i promise not to spam the forum or create another account... now can we come to a resonable solution?

@Carbie - OK, I hear that you don't like them. You don't relate to them.

You also don't want anyone else to have badges. Can you tell me why?

(And just so you don't think I'm stallling -- I'm trying to get a sense of whether we might want to let people not show their own badges if they don't want to, or maybe a way to turn off viewing all badges in chat, as a setting-- if we are going to solve anything I need to understand the nature of the problem.)

@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn i dont care if anyone else has them, to each their own... for me personally i dont prefer them... so i am not trying to punish others who would like to share them... be as it may, id like very much not to be included in this event... thanks

love this new system it's really cool

maybe for the people who don't like the new function they have the choice of deactivating the appearance of the badges in chatrooms?

i believe most people love it though

These badges are a good idea but are driving me insane. It looks like we just have a bunch of mods and the helping hand one has had inappropriate conversations in the group rooms and it's way too bright D: good idea overall I suppose.

As with all the other step-wise badges, shouldn't we receive supportive smile, friendly face, and helping hand if we qualify for wise one? I take pride in earning badges. The other stepwise badges do not skip badges (for instance, first compassion heart badge remains there even after you earn a badge for additional compassion hearts).

Supportive Smile
Group Chats - 50
Compassion Hearts - 150

Friendly Face
Group Chats - 100
Compassion Hearts - 300

Helping Hand
Group Chats - 200
Compassion Hearts - 600

Wise One
Group Chats - 500
Compassion Hearts - 1500

To clarify.... I don't think they all need to show up on chat. That would just take up too much space. However, I think the other badges should show up on the member's personal page with the rest of their badges.

Love this! Thanks for adding this to the Member side :)

i have all these but i dont have the badges ?

@Ryanoleary25

You actually do have this badge! It's listed on your profile :D You can't really see your own badge in the chat room, but you can try refreshing and checking the "current participants" list to see you badge! :D
