Badges
Writers can accumulate badges for various types of accomplishments.
There are four distinct classes of badges that can be earned; each has its conditions:
Regular Badges: rewarded when a user’s stat reaches a set value. For example: 5 revision entries.
Hybrid Badges: rewarded when multiple values of a user’s stat reach a set condition. For example: 10 featured articles and 25 total comments.
Category Badges: rewarded when a user’s category stats reaches a set value. Some badges are rewarded manually by moderators to users who make quality contributions to a category.
Special Badges: a variety of badges rewarded to users who either win special events or make special contributions to the platform.
As writers accumulate badges, the hardware will be prominently displayed on their profile.
