Just a guide on how to earn badges
You can see all the badges here
Getting started
First ____
Edit your own post! For new users, you have to edit within 24 hours of posting. If you are trust level 1 or higher, you have unlimited time to edit your post
Use an emoji in a post
Flag a post and have moderators accept your flag. Do not flag harmless posts just to get the badge, it won’t work.
Like a post
In a post, include a link to another topic on this forum
Mention another user. You can do this by typing @ and then their username. Please do not mention another user unless you have something that you want them to see or you have their permission. Unnecessary mentions are annoying to a lot of people
Post a link that the forum “oneboxes”. To do this, just post a link normally but have it on it’s own line. I.e.
textext
link
moretext
The forum will convert it into a lil box with a preview of the website & award you with the badge
Quote a post! You can do this easily by selecting some text from someone’s post, then pressing “Quote”
Reply to someone by email. You can only do this upon trust level 2, and, like mentions, please don’t do this without reason. Getting a badge isn’t worth being annoying xD
Share a post! You can do this by clicking the link icon, to the right of the like and ... buttons
Edit a wiki post
Please only do this if you have something constructive to add. Don’t edit a wiki post just to get a badge
User tutorials
These both require interacting with the DM @discobot sent you. If you can’t find it, go to the full notification list and scroll to the bottom for a DM named “Greetings!”
Complete the new user tutorial. This can be activated by bookmarking the first message in the DM, or messaging @discobot start tutorial
Complete the advanced user tutorial. This can be activated by messaging @discobot start advanced tutorial
