If you’ve been here on R2R for a while, you may notice some people have badges under their names. While not always a sign of experience or knowledge, they kinda give us an idea of who participates in certain things, achieved something, or what they do here. But some people may not want any at all.
So with that in mind, which badges are you hoping to get, if any?

I would really like some- how do you get them and what are the easiest ones to get?

How do I “welcome people”?

How do I “welcome people”?

You can use a Gif or photo that says welcome, or just simply say, "Welcome to Reef2reef!"

And that will automatically give me a badge or does a mod need to see it? And do I make a post or just reply to somebodies post?

You have to repeatedly welcome people. Encourage the culture of Reef2Reef.

It's not a one-and-done.

Here is a link to a thread so you get the idea.

Thread 'Hello From North/ South Carolina' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/hello-from-north-south-carolina.1049040/

No, you don't get the badge immediately. It takes a few months, then a mod will notice you.

Hey there!

Looks like you had set up a 2 year supporting membership subscription (thank you for that) but cancelled the renewal and it ran out in June.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

I would love the excellence and hospitality badge! I love love love trying my best to provide answers to people whenever I can bring more knowledge or support!

 

[Reefering1]

I used to interpret the "excellence" badge as a indicator of superior knowledge and depth of understanding of varying subjects, more so than just a willingness to share whatever a person thinks they know.. I have already been proven to be wrong on this several times.

I want a bage that says #1 Bristle worm hater. Also photo of the month would be pretty sweet, but how do I submit my pics?
