But the badges won't give you any direct advantage to earn money in this forum, except good recognition from other member.
Additionally, actively reporting posts doesn't prove you can make good posts which needed to join signature campaign, so i don't see any serious problem from badge.

Badges, if released, will have no financial benefits for users who got them, I believe.

Did it occur to you that then people will focus on reporting?
Some will create accounts for making 1-5 posts that are reported, yay.
Many will report posts that maybe don't need to be reported.
It'll just create another problem imho.

Without financial benefits, I don't think people will abuse to get badges.

not letting campaigns paying in altcoins to operate is not only absurd but also it is like erasing the problem instead of solving it. because the problem is not the campaign's payment method, it is in the manager/owner paying people for their spam.
and opposite example is Yobit campaign which was paying in bitcoin and was responsible for a large amount of spam.

It is just a secondary solution, not a preventive one, but it will have good impacts on spamming, because most of altcoins campaigns/ bounties encourage spam, and managed by inexperienced managers and companies run them don't care about post quality of their supporters. Most of campaigns paid in bitcoin managed by experienced managers, so at beginnings companies run them don't encourage spam; they care about their companies' reputation and probability to get benefits from their campaigns, because they have to pay for those ones. Such spam campaign like Yobit is so scarce, as I know.

Or this extra requirement

I also believe signature campaigns should have a rule that every participant should earn a certain amount of merit each period. If they don't they get removed, and someone else gets put in their place. This would mean you'll only be hiring those that are actively earning merit rather than have done in the past which means it would prevent them from getting complacent.

Reporter badges are definitely going to encourage certain types of users to report, generally those that like to stick out within a community, and I think that's fine. You'll find a lot of organizations offering achievements, and badges to encourage students to learn. For example, a number of language courses do it, as well as when we were all back in school as a kid we had a system where they would put stars on your report card if you done well etc. It does work even in adulthood.

I think that badge is a new tool to motivate users, like merit system.

Requirements for badges should be kept in secret. Users just keep doing their daily stuffs, posting, reporting; then someday they will hit figures of total reporting posts (or good total reporting posts), at which their badges appear. Same approach as work allocation on forum staffs and their payments (staffs don't know what other staffs allocated to work, and how much others get paid) - As I remember, @Welsh said about this.

>=500 good reports
>= 1000 good reports
>=2000 good reports
