@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.
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?

@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?
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.
