There should be forum badges that shows up below your username in all your posts. I had this idea from other forums which had these awards and medals.

Here is where it would appear:

These badges would act as titles that a user will have for fulfilling something awesome or something unusual. It could also be given just because the user wants to have it. Badges are somehow similar to achievements, but it won't only cover in-game achievements. It would show how active a user is in the forums or how much he/she is into mapping.
A new forum will be used for awarding users their badges or letting users request for badges. It would be confirmed by someone (forum mod maybe) if the badge requests is something that a program can't track. One example of this is the number of skins a user have made.

Badges for users that wants useless badges will voted by people on the forum. Some of these badges would be:
- player who helps out in tech support a lot
- player who likes to spam in the forums
- player who makes the most nuked feature requests
- player who likes to post evil stuff >:3
- perv players xD

Well... you could remove these useless badges. I just thought of it so might as well include it here :>

Here's a few badges I'm thinking of:
- mapper with 50+ approved/ranked maps
- mapper with 100+ approved/ranked maps
- player who joined 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50, and so on years ago
- player who joined in the last 7 days
- player who made 10+ skins for osu!
- current top ten in each game mode
- player who supported osu! for 12, 60, 120, 240, and so on months

I might be adding more stuff if this gets a chance to be accepted.

Feel free to comment and suggest stuff~ ^_^

The osu!supporter badge used to be way bigger, but peppy simplified it, i doubt there would be any kind of flashy stuff like badges on the forums, there are some badges currently but they are for profiles and are mostly earned through tournaments or contests.

what about making the supporter <3 more visible?
Sakura
Guess peppy fixed the one on the profiles but not the one on the posts :P

I've been on forums with these before. (In fact, I've run a forum with these before.) They're kind of neat but when lots of people have lots of badges it really causes clutter and doesn't look nice.

So probably don't make too many badges or add a toggle to disable viewing them.

inb4 peppy coming with bat lmao
I don't think he'd add a toggle for a feature like this, if he implemented it at all
deadbeat
we have the achievements. thats good enough. and hopefully at some point, a wider range will be available
Soaprman
There are toggles to disable viewing of avatars, signatures, flash animations, emoticons, and even images in posts. I don't think one for this is such a stretch. :P
Sakura
I dont even see the need for such forum badges, if anything these profile badges are kinda good enough already.

more elite mappers please \o/

For that we'd need another mapping contest.
deadbeat
or the badge could be awarded to the mapper with the best map of 20XX
or something like that

eh
not bad but this is really useless
I like the way it is now ;x
MMzz
No support.

Once everyone has them all the OWC/TWC and independent tournament winner's badges won't make them special for their huge achievement.

I miss the times where chart winners get badges :((
