Do you want an SEOmoz profile badge?

[AaronSchinke]

I'm sure it will be gamed too. Hard to say if that's enough to totally derail the thought though. What if it linked to your profile, a little harder to fake that?

[bemcapaz]

I liked the idea, but would not include the number of comments badge, perhaps it will only estimulates useless posts. The others, however, sounds like a really good idea

[petrakraft]

I find the idea not bad - but I woudn't include any numbers at all. This enforces only "number hunting" in my opinion. As Thomas mentioned the "staff endorsed answers" do have a "real" value.

[RyanPurkey]

Like it, but am also in agreement with others recommending that it have more weighting towards the quality of answers some how.

[ThomasHgenhaven]

Absolutely! Do you have other suggestions than mine?

• Thumps-up
• Questions answered (not concerned with quality, but it gives context to #good answers and # staff endorsements. Having 2 staff endorsements isnt much if you've had 10.000 answers, but great if you have had 15).

• Good answers

• Staff endorsed answers

I'd also like to be able to show other people my answers, as in a publically (or at least available to members) viewable - http://www.seomoz.org/q/my-answers

[KaneJamison]

Did anything come of this? I think it'd be a useful addition to an "about page" on my own site to add user trust.

[Cyrus-Shepard]

It's still a possibility, although to my knowledge nothing is in the pipeline at this time.

[CarlLarson]

Thread bump!

[SteveOllington]

Yeah I'd like to know if this progressed any further as a concept actually... any more news Cyrus?

[DonnaDuncan]

Hi Cyrus,

It's been a couple of years since this was last discussed. Have badges moved up the priority queue for new development? Can we get an update, even if the update is "no progress".

Donna

[Cyrus-Shepard]

Ha! Hard to believe this old thread is still alive. This was one of the first questions asked when we first launched the public Q&A.

We have actually kicked around the idea several times, but nothing has come to fruition. Good to know there is still interest. So, no progress, but we will keep the idea alive.

[DonnaDuncan]

Thank you so much for responding to this still-kicking thread! And on a holiday!

My expectations were low given the age of the last post, but didn't want to start a new one and fragment the conversation. Glad to hear there's still hope.

[AlanBleiweiss]

Cyrus,

Add another voice to the list of "still want"!

[DonnaDuncan]

Yes, do it.

It'll get you more links.
