Member/ Guest Badges - Your Help Needed

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!

Ya

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.

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.

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.
