The Badges, visually (with original files when possible)
Cool! More steenkin' badges! Yay!
I just noticed the "Sheriff" Tanga Admin badge is placed in the badge area.
Sheriff Badge: Tanga Admin (there's a new sheriff in town)
[1] Can I get one?... can I? can I?
[4] You know, I wondered why your profile didn't have a Mod badge on it. I figured maybe you were still on probation. :P
[5] Maybe I am!!!
Whoops. Forgot I even added that :)
Done.
Tanga Puzzlemaker badge added.
Will this badge be given out retroactively, or only to recent puzzlemakers and those going forward?
[8] Looks like it's retroactive. It's on my profile. Thanks, Tanga, I like my shiny new badge!
[8] Retroactively. But the problem is I'm doing them one at a time! Mostly because I got the itch to do it last night, but also because I'm not sure TangaJoe can just globally add this badge (though I haven't asked him yet).
So be patient, please :)
If you had a puzzle published here, you will eventually get this badge.
neato badge. tyvm!
Thanks [10]. I got my Puzzlemaker badge and am tickled pink!! I also became an STU and now can flag salty comments. Awesome!
[12] Ahh! So THAT'S why you couldn't flag comments! That was bugging me! :)
New here, so this will sound like a dumb question. What are the badges for?
[14] Status! Bragging rights! Recognition! :)
(That's about it, really. They are on your profile page. You should have a cherry and a lemon. Each new "fruit level" - achieved through earning points solving puzzles or buying stuff, mostly - results in a badge. So does reaching STU - Super Tanga User - which also gives you discounted prices.)
Hello sonjahi!
Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
[10] Ooooo, thanks for the new badge.
[3] The group Beatles hyper:
