So I just had an idea and I was like "Hey, let's make a thread about it." and that thought managed to squeeze it's way through my mental filter into the "good idea" bin on my office desk of a brain, so here goes:
I was thinking that maybe it'd be cool to incorporate the old-school prefixes of titles into the new badge system via visual symbolism.
One diagonal purple stripe for 5,000ish posts.
Two diagonal purple stripes for 10,000ish posts.
Three diagonal purple stripes for 25,000ish posts.
A subtle pulsing glow of the badge if someone hasn't been banned for two or more years.
A series of blue dots below the badge, one for every 100+ reply thread you've created, kind of like ribbons or gold stars for "good job at making conversation".
Et cetera.
I just think it'd be a cool way to visually, within a split second, find out a good deal of information about a poster just like the prefixes, only now we find out ALL the information rather than just two things. So, ideas? Thoughts? Things? Stuff?

Ooo, maybe the quality ones add a prefix to the word "years"? For example:
Get 7 threads that each have at least 20 likes and you get the "marvelous" prefix. Ex: "5 marvelous years"
Get 7 posts that each have at least 20 likes and you get the "wondrous" prefix. Ex: "7 wondrous years"
Get 7 threads with 100+ replies and you get the "kick-ass" prefix. Ex: "4 kick-ass years"
You would be able to pick which one you wanted through your account settings, obviously.[/quote]

To better this, I'd (personally) say the stats should be "X amount of liked posts/threads" and no bans.

Post count rewards are blah. All they do is reward idiots who spam threads that attract rage, thus gaining comments and post counts for themselves. I think the only rewards should be for time spent on the site and good behavior (until Destiny comes out, at least).

Quality over quantity bro.

I would like something to show I've never been banned. EVER.
-
I'd wait for this week to end before throwing around badge ideas.
-
I would like more ranks for people like me who have spent time here and quality rather than post-count.
-
It will be interesting.
-
I have a feeling they'll add to the badges. They themselves are pretty bare.
-
I'd be interested to see something like this happen. I just feel like this would be kind of cluttered though.
-
Charlie's badge would be clustered...
-
Too many posts.
