Hello, xat lovers!
To start with, this system requires the implementation of the rating feature:
On each user's profile, as well as for each badge, a simple star rating system can be integrated. Users who wish to leave a rating can select the number of stars they want to award for that badge/service, ranging from one star (the lowest rating) to five stars (the highest rating).
The badge will be lost if the rating drops under 5 stars. You can gain it back if you improve your rating in time.
Example:
Designer badge with 1 star out of 5
Moderator badge with 5 stars out of 5
Moving forward, I will present some badge ideas and the criteria for granting them:
1. Designer Badge:
Criteria: Create and distribute graphic content such as GIF avatars, xatspaces, pcbacks, backgrounds, pstyles, banners, etc.
Clients would have a method to provide feedback for the services offered by designers, showing their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a vote ranging from 1 to 5 stars. Those who receive 5 stars will obtain the Designer Badge on their profile.
To avoid false votes, I suggest that the designer themselves send a pop-up rating form to the client only after they have had a service-related interaction with a user. In this form, add a field where the user can also insert a link to the gif/xatspace they have delivered.
2. Moderation Expert Badge:
Criteria: Demonstrate excellent moderation skills and maintain a civilized and safe environment in chat rooms.
Description: This badge would be awarded to users recognized for their moderation skills and efforts in maintaining a friendly and respectful environment on xat.com.
Only chat owners and main owners would have a method to provide feedback for the services offered by moderators, showing their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a vote ranging from 1 to 5 stars. Those who receive 5 stars will obtain the Moderator Badge on their profile.
3. Event Host Badge:
Criteria: Successfully organize and guide events and activities in chat rooms, such as contests, themed parties, or movie nights.
Description: This badge would be awarded to users who are experts in organizing and facilitating entertainment and social events on xat.com, contributing to the pleasant atmosphere of the community.
To avoid false votes, I suggest that the host themselves send a pop-up rating form to users only after they have had an event-hosting interaction with a chat.
4. Assistance Expert Badge:
Criteria: Provide active help and assistance to other users on the xat.com platform, solving their issues and questions efficiently and kindly.
Description: This badge would be awarded to users recognized for their ability to offer helpful support and assistance to other members of the xat.com community.
To ensure a fair voting system, I suggest that the user has a method to request feedback attached to their account ONLY after providing assistance, to prevent false votes without receiving/asking for help. Users who receive 5 stars will obtain the Assistance Expert Badge on their profile.
5. Contributor Badge:
This badge should be awarded to users who hold this title on the forum to be highlighted on xat, similar to how resellers, volunteers, smiley makers, and others have special recognition on chat.
6. Badge for DJ/Radio Moderator:
This badge is awarded to those who do radio broadcasts on chat, following the same systems and with the same mentions as those mentioned above.
I believe that this system would inject some excitement into xat.com and provide users with a fresh incentive to become active and maintain pleasant interactions with each other.
What badge would you like to see implemented? Feel free to say in comments down below.
