Badges for Members of Affiliate Sites

I think it'd be pretty cool for MFGG members to have badges if they're contributors on affiliate sites. Something to bring these related sites closer together I think

Could be fun! If enough people want this, and someone's willing to make badge images for all of our affiliates, I could make this happen.

Course clear! You got a card.

If demand was high enough for it I'd also be fine with this happening.

I like it, a fun idea indeed.

What would be the pre-requisites? You know, so that someone doesn't just register for them all to get the badge and then never post there again.

@Pedigree Good question. Maybe require them to show us their profile to prove they have a minimum of 25-50 posts and possibly an account age of at least one month? I don't want to set the bar too high, because if this encourages people to participate in more affiliated communities, it could be a win-win for all of us.

I agree with there being more requirements than just "signing up", as we all know it's pretty easy to sign up for a site and forget about it!

I think it might be best to communicate with the staff of each affiliate and figure out what they define as a decent enough contributor. Post count isn't a great factor for two reasons: one, not every affiliate is a forun; and two, quality is often more important than quantity.

As for badges, I don't think it'd be too bad to see maybe slightly scaled up and paper-mario-badgified versions of the affiliates favicons.

Maybe we can add a field for people to share their profiles on these other sites (where applicable)?
