Fedora has our own Badges system. As I push to make Discourse more central to our community communications, I’d like to center these badges rather than the forum-oriented badges discourse uses. (Probably keep some of those, but in the mix.) I don’t think we will replace our existing badges system with Discourse’s (it really needs an upgrade, so… maybe, though?), but I’m interested in at least mirroring it. That is, whenever a user is given a badge by our external badge system, use the Discourse API to award the same (custom, of course) badge on the forum.
So there’s the background. But… we have this many badges:
Click for big image!
(And then click on the image again to really see the big image!)
전적으로 동의합니다. 다른 방식으로 표시하는 방법을 찾아볼 것입니다. 다만, 보시면 아시겠지만, 현재 저희 사이트에는 거대한 목록을 보여주는 방식이 옵션으로 존재합니다. 제 생각에는 그걸 다시 만들어야 한다면, 아예 Discourse에서 새로 만드는 것이 나을 것 같습니다.
As a user I find the amount of badges you have excessive. With this many the perceived value of each is probably very low. Also who of your community is familiar with all of them? Can be only a very few nerds.
I admit I am not a fan of badges / achievements in general. Although as a moderator I regularly check Autobiographer, as the profile is sometimes used for spam.
Is your team evaluating badges to analyse forum activity? That might warrant lots of them.
Now I wonder if you can have hidden badges, which are only used internally…
Our badges work differently from the concept used in Stack Exchange or Discourse, where they’re basically a few increasingly-difficult things on a set path. They’re more like those in Untappd or… FourSquare, back in the day.
