What is the "Community Leader" Badge?

Hi, everyone! If you’ve spent time in the rooms, you’ve likely seen some users with a Community Leader role listed under their names. A lot of you have asked what criteria are tied to this. We created the CL badge to act as an umbrella for all group chat badges that used to be visible in the rooms. Fewer badges displaying also reduces the loading rate of a message sent by a user with, for example, 2 or more badges appearing in the room.

The CL badge is auto-awarded. Here is the document listing all roles that fall under it. The idea of manual badging has been suggested. However, with all the other significant tech changes in the pipeline, we’re not at a point to consider it. Again, the CL role was invented to cover the groups domain in terms of relevancy, since it’s exclusive to supporting rooms. Sorry, it took us a bit to get to clarifying this. We hope this clears up all confusion!
