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!
Superwoman- a badge givenby Listener to a female Member, for taking action against physical and sexual abuse.
Leading Lady- a badge awarded by Listener to female members, for women with children and have gone through an exceptionally hard situation and havemanaged to pull through.
Did the superwoman and leading lady badges ever become a reality? I have been going through the justice system process for two years, fighting an uphill battle trying to get the police officer who raped me held responsible for his actions. Just reading this short description, I know it would mean the world to me if one of my listeners gave me the superwoman badge!
What a great idea, as always
Did they ever come out with those badges tho? That would literally make my day or year to get something like that from a listener who cared about me.
How is this going? Have any new badges been implemented?
I have not heard anything about progress on this front. I was incredibly encouraged and excited when I learned that the site was seeking input on possible new badges. Please, please do not put this on the back burner. Are there any updates? Several people have asked, but no one has received a response.
@Laura new badges have come out, but whatever happened to these?
@Laura @Heather I hope these badges have not been forgotten. Many members and listeners put a lot of effort into creating some meaningful badges that would signify true accomplishments here.
