Just a question,
What is this report badges for? Does it affect the ranking system? If yes, Iam sure that lots of user will do reporting excessively even if the reported replies is useful for everyone.
What are the consequences if you do not maintain the report counts?
No, it's probably just a badge to reward reporting. I wouldn't be against it having some extra privilidges though, but nothing too extravagant nor should it be used to bypass ranks.
How about a mushroom cloud for 5k, since you're responsible for nuking so many posts!!!
A little explosion for 300 a slightly bigger explosion/smaller mushroom cloud (or maybe diff colour idk) for 1k.
I love this idea, but, I tried to make one and it looks like a tree.
related to military badges

I tried these:

(300 good reports)

(1000 good reports)

(5000 good reports)

I like the military chevrons. Maybe instead of the same but different colours you could just get an additional chevron each time you move up a rank like I believe they do in the military. Ie one chevron for 300 good reports, two chevrons for 1000 etc. More could easily be added as needed as well.

I personally don't like the "cop" theme (I don't want to be seen as a cop hehe). I also think we can come up with something more unique than check marks or badges or stars (no offense intended).
Fedora, white hat, top hat is pretty good. But I think something that other forums don't have would be cooler!
Maybe the mushroom cloud could be black for 300, half red for 1k and full red for 5k!
Yeah, the cop theme is so so. Although, I wouldn't mind it too much. I'm not sure what other forums use, because believe it or not this is one of the only forums that I used regularly. I guess the fedora hat would be a popular one.
Haha. I think we should actually just use a meme for it:

Or Internet detectives:


Take your pick. Can anyone edit them to be a suitable size? Maybe they wouldn't work being so small.
I like BTCforjoe's idea, but for me it is better to add the symbol beside the user name. So it will be like a verified account in other social media, which is good i think.
The whole reporter badge idea has nothing to do with "verifying" an account. This will only help scammers who want to impersonate someone else.
Yeah, it shouldn't be like this. People might think the accounts are 'verified' and could give people a false sense of security.
