Member/ Guest Badges - Your Help Needed
Hi Everyone!
We are looking to create some new badges for the member/ guest community and we'd love your help coming up with ideas. As listeners, you have a good sense of the types of badges that would feel the most meaningful to our members! The badges are meant to help members feel a sense of pride and accomplishment for their personal growth. Here are a couple of examples:
We are looking for two types of badges:
1) Member Self-Care Badges
Examples:
Hope - for beginning to believe that my life can be better and different.
Shiny Penny - for understanding - and believing - that people here on 7 Cups like me and enjoy me.
Home - for beginning to feel safe and secure.
2) Listener Nominated Badges
Examples:
Courage Badge - Awarded from Listener to Member - for being brave and talking about a challenging situation.
Broad Shoulders - Awarded from Listener to Member - forcarrying a lot of the burdento keep their family or friends okay.
Big Step - Awarded from Listener to Member - for taking a risk and moving forward towards change.
Please post your badges here in this thread and also submit them on the spreadsheet linked below.
We want them posted here so we can learn from one another and come up with better ideas.If your badge is selected you will earn the "Icon" badge.
On this spreadsheet, you will find 2 tabs (one for each of the categories mentioned above). Please provide all of your ideas here! We look forward to hearing them! The more the merrier!
I don't know if this fits into any category tbh, but many a times, I've seen members helping others out in the support rooms. Like even though they are going through a lot, they are always so helpful to provide information and help to fellow members, and many of them even take up the role of keeping things in level when a listener or mod isnt around!
If such members, who provide support and spread love in the support rooms could be recognized too, i think it would encourage them?
I'm not sure how effective this would be, but just my though! ^^
Ohh wait, i hadnt checked the spreadsheet lol! This idea is already there so yeah! Oops!
A badge for helping a lot of people maybe... im not sure if that's a badge yet, im new lol. A badge for taking a test and getting good results?
A badge for talking to a listener for extended amounts of time. Shows attempt to heal maybe?
Like going back to the same listener regarding the same problem? Trying to work it out?
Bedside manner badge
Maybe a badge for those who write the articles?
A badge for being ( patient ) with thepeople, that are reaching out to the listenersfor assistance.
I think it would be nice to have a listener badge to honor people who do follow ups constantly, because I feel it is important to check on the members and see how they are doing, and I think it really means something when someone remembers you and takes the time to ask how things are and it would be great of the site to recognize it.
I hope my idea will be useful! All the tokensin the spreadsheet are really amazing, especially the member ones!
How's your day
Ok I love helping who wants to talk
I think an empathy badge would be a good idea. Where people provide feed back they could nominate person for this. Have differant levels. EG 25 50 100 200 nominatins. Perhaps even up to 1000. This idea stems from last night when I was told to get tough with my own family. Oh what empathy.
