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!
Can we get the badges that exist already working?
I personally love the term compassionate confidante. Read it in one counseling bookbefore. Such a badge would be awesome. A compassionate confidante refers to a person who is compassionate who we pour our souls to which the listeners are most of the time
. Thank you
I have a suggestion..when a member comes into a chat feeling really bad and the listener helps out, and then they leave the chat feeling good, it could be called "Feeling Good Badge" or "Accomplishment Badge" or "I Feel Better" or "Courage to seek help" omg I'm not good with the names..lool
Gave a couple of suggestions!
A badge for coming to 7cups and seeking support instead of Self-harming, self-destructing or negatively acting out.
Love this idea. I feel there is so much strength in seeking help

I also put all of my ideas on the spreadsheet, but i dont know if it got saved or not, thank you :)
As a member, I think it would be nice for us to be able to acknowledge other members who have been supportive in the group chats...there often aren't any listeners in there and I would love to just have a way to say thank you!
Perhaps:
Supportive Friend the first time they're nominated,
Kind Soul after 5 nominations
and more from there? I don't know I just feel like since so often the wait for a listener is ridiculously long and then the listener you get can be really bad, we rely a lot on other members and they should get recognition for being so kind when it isn't even their role on here.
I want to start by saying that moments like this, where we can express our ideas in a constructive way to help the community, are always very important. I'm happy to know that our opinions will be considered for something special! Thanks to all community!
Well, here's my suggestions:
1) Listener Nominated Badges
Cornelia - for listeners mothers that dedicateda number of hours "X" to help people.
Ab origine - for listeners who have welcomed a member and continue to support him in the course of time.
Hortensia - for girls listeners that share their experiences to help other members and listeners
{For these badges I was inspired by Latin world:Cornelia Scipionis Africana + Hortensia (orator) & the forms "ab origine" = from the beginning}
2) Member Self-Care Badges
Artemisia - for members girls that are facing a trauma and feel they can overcome difficulties.
Marat - for members that decide to help other members/do voluntary work/
be helpful to the community
licet insanire - for members who do a positive madness that feel them good
{For these badges I was inspired by: Artemisia Gentileschi +Jean-Paul Marat}
I'm sorry for writing errors ^^
Well I know this is just my opinion there should be a member badge that is called reaching the very top. I will provide more on the bottom of what I mean. I will provide more.Member badge:Reaching the very top:When a member looks how far they have came and never gave up on anything.Listener badge: Helping a member reach the very top of the mountain.The reason for those two is because I always tell my members to never give up and continue to climb the mountain until you reach the very top. Hope this is a good idea.
New Beginnings- Listener Nominated badge awarded when a Member has overcome a sticky situation by trying new ways of coping and believing in themselves.
