New BYC Awards / Badges System

[Nifty-Chicken]

Very good ideas and points!

 

[GammaPoppyLilyFlutter]

Maybe there could be a "Breed and Gender Determiner" badge for those who spend a lot of time identifying the breeds and genders of other member's chickens

And for those who post a lot in the hatching part of the forum, "Hatch-A-Holic"

 

[bargain]

My husband said to recommend that a badge go to the first BYC member who reached 100 Positive in feedback....He said he got to see me on the floor rolling the little eggs until they were cushioned in bubble wrap and got to breathe in the smell of bubble wrap and tape and boxes, he wanted me a reward for this!!!!...... LOL, He got a kiss as a reward, but I promised to pass this along for him.....

That sweet guy is working is way to a 100% homemade coconut cake with 5 coconuts and 16 eggs oh yeah!

Anyway you can actually type that out or make the columns even? It is very hard to understand that way.

I can't wait till they will be given out! Plus, I'm up for helping out with this project if there is anything I can do!

Wouldn't things like this be more "personal," rather than BYC helpful? I dunno, I might be reading the purpose of the badges and awards wrong, but I was thinking they were more along the lines of helping out BYC. Then again, I could be way off.

 

[FireTigeris]

Here's the suggestions so far- truncated.

Suggestions for awards:

time limit
"nominate" button
require *some number* of unique nominations
post awards first or last day each month with a sticky announcement of new awards
remove PFM as award OR add GFM
allow members to 'hide' awards
get consensus for badges vs awards
demerit badges - vetoed
review 'experts' every 6 months
levels for 'Expert' https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5831572#p5831572
no lower anniversary badges or badges will become cluttered
replace old anniversary badges with new ones (4 year is replaced by 6 year)
