The levelled / tiered badges would work best, I think...

Maybe some kinda pac-man meter for reviews, but with quicker cherries (or whatever the "upgraded" icon would be). Or like the normal posting "regular", "homie" or whatever it is.

I'm glad other people think it's a good idea, as I reckon it will help get more people writing.
Maybe we could even have some kinda reward for prolific reviewers and make an even bigger deal out of contributing to Abandonia.com?

I've been watching Supernanny, so I know all about reward and punishment, right?

Waste not want not... the vBulletin reputation system is still in place, you know. Methinks maybe a few template hacks could repurpose it? It would have to be separate from PoE, though, since I have no idea how to make PoE work between the site and the forum.

*points at the VIP rank* Like that?

[Saccade]

Yeah man - the VIP badge was the one that was going to be the Reviewer's badge stop-gap. Or was at least the first example...

Can we have a tiered VIP badge..? idk if it would be a good thing to use that one, as people would lose theirs.
Is it a big job to add another one?

It's fairly easy, actually.
All that's needed to start are graphics, and... well, IDK but maybe we could drop the "Posting rank" thing altogether and reuse the gfx for reputation-level?

I'm not sure that's good idea, actually. I completely don't care about posting rank, but I think that people that made lot of posts like that, like it shows that they are so active that they became "part of the forum inventory" or something

However, reviewer badge is a good thing especially for the newcomers. We already had discussion about this, but I can't find it. I suggested the first thing that came to my mind and that is Reviewer badges with different ranking. Something like receiving the "Ordinary reviewer's badge" for the first review supplied, and than having like bronze, silver and golden reviewer badge for more reviews.
I first thought that you need 1, 5, 10 and 50 reviews for progressing through ranks, but it is surely too much. So, perhaps something like this:

1 review - Ordinary reviewer's badge
3 reviews - Bronze reviewer's badge
5 or 7 reviews - Silver reviewer's badge
10 or 15 reviews - Golden reviewer's badge
20 or 50 reviews - Platinum reviewer's badge
100 reviews - Mithril body armor with engraving of special reviewer's badge, free trip to Rio and one year delivery of favorite candies or cookies.

I think that everyone who wrote at least one review should get the badge, and they should be aware that just a couple of reviews more will get them higher rank. 10 reviews for Golden badge seemed to few for the word "golden", but on the other hand, we don't have much people that wrote more than 10 reviews so... Anyway, numbers for ranks are easy to discuss IF we can have something like this at all

I have been talking about reviewer badge long ago, so I completly support everything in Marko's previous post.

I like the plan that Marko posted

Just change "reviever" into "reviewer", end it will be fine.
