Wishlist: visual cue for "user got a badge for this post"

What about all those admins who aren’t programmers? The argument ‘it could be hidden with CSS’ works for a lot of Discourse features and still often a setting is added.

I don’t think admins need to be programmers to modify the theme CSS (see: the massive ecosystem that was MySpace themes, back in the day). Rather, I think we should be aiming to empower admins to experiment with making their site uniquely their own.

And I would still prefer an opt-in solution since I like the idea to highlight specific badges, but I wouldn’t enjoy seeing all “first xxx” badges everywhere at all Discourse communities.

Choosing to opt-in each badge is totally possible:

// Hide all badges by default.
.user-badge-buttons > span {
    display: none;
}

// Show the First Quote badge.
.user-badge-buttons > .user-badge-button-first-quote {
    display: revert;
}

I think this also de-emphasizes the moderator shield, because that now looks like another badge.

I totally agree, thank you for pointing that out! I’ve added a little bit of padding between the shield and the badges, to keep the visually separated.

I like the colors

I like the color.

Great, let’s leave it as is, then!
