Are badges customizable?

[Rafael_Nasser]

Hey whats up everyone?

I was wanting to customize emblems so I can engage with my community in a sort of Gamification model. This way I can get them to engage, respond to posts and more… I feel if I cant use gamification they will only read and never write, which isnt my objective.

I wanted to create an emblem for X/Y/Z Topic Responses. So if in the month they responded to 10 posts, they receive an emblem (and im warned by email) so I can give them a % discount on their subscription with my main company. Is there a way to gamify close to this or are the emblems locked? Because they lose their point if everyone is forced to use it the way Discourse wants… I would love to customize how emblems are achieved so I can engage my community further, please help!

What cool badge queries have you come up with?

Enabling Badge SQL entails security and performance risks so it is not available by default. For more information, see: Enable Badge SQL There are lots of potential badges that we can come up with using SQL queries. I thought I’d start a topic for people to share some of the queries and badges they’ve created. I for one am looking forward to seeing some cool inspiration! This post is a wiki topic. If you have a good badge query to add, please reply to this …
