Continuing the discussion from [A badge for all members of a group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-badge-for-all-members-of-a-group/18147):

What are the qualifications for said badge?
As I have two topics in the plugin category, neither of which resulted in that badge being granted.
> [@vBulletin Emojis](https://meta.discourse.org/t/vbulletin-emojis/22214):

> For anyone who wants to relive the old days of vBulletin and bring back those emojis, have a look at the following plugin (and yes, several of them are animated) Oh, and they do not interfere with the existing emojione emoticons, as these are all prefixed with ‘vb-’ [https://github.com/cpradio/vb\_emoji](https://github.com/cpradio/vb_emoji) [image] A big thanks goes out to @eviltrout for his emoji extender!
> [@Composer Help Button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/composer-help-button/22748):
>
> I’ve now completed my work on a composer help button. [https://github.com/cpradio/composer-help-button](https://github.com/cpradio/composer-help-button) It adds a button to the composer window [image] and a setting in the Admin area: Clicking on that icon, will open a modal window with the content from the first post at the URL set in the Admin area The only caveat, is that you need to store the Topic in a publicly accessible location so ALL of your members can see it. Otherwise, they’ll get an access denied error.

It’s manually awarded by adding you to the `plugin_authors` group.
