Hi there,

I run a site for a “Reading Rush” - a week long reading event where users see how much they can read and have various challenges to complete. If they complete the challenge, they get the badge.

I’m transitioning my forums to Discourse, and I’m trying to figure out if users can self grant badges to themselves, rather than something automatic at a milestone or something manual. We had around 20,000 users last year, and are expecting more this year, so obviously it would be a lot to have to manually approve. I’m also looking for some sort of integration or plugin that might allow this.

Thanks in advance for any help!
