I'm using the phone now, I'll try it later.
So my Holmes badges are gone? What badges were used, because I see different formations?
My script is unofficial (a.k.a. done on my own initiative and not endorsed by theymos or Bitcointalk) so I've only used resources that are freely available to me (specifically, a few of Font Awesome's open source icons as well as data publicly posted by theymos). I have no clue as to what icons theymos is going to use for the official reporter badges nor do I know as to what the report count thresholds are gonna be. You get an (unofficial) badge if you appeared in either the 2017 or 2021 list of top reporters (links to both of those can be found in this thread's OP). If you appeared in both lists, you get 2 badges. The type of badge / icon you get depends on your position in each list (top 3, more than 1000 good reports or just in the list).

Does bad reports affect the rating? or only good reports?
The userscript only takes into account good reports.

There are some good badges on that topic, I was hoping the user would have the option to use the occasion with him.
I'm not an expert in copyright (read: I have no clue beyond anecdotes and info from random potentially dubious articles) but while theymos might have an implicit license to display those icons on the forum1 I don't. As for allowing users to pick the icons used for the badges, while it is possible, I feel like that's way out of scope for this userscript and would require quite a bit more coding work.

1 AFAIK users implicitly give a website a license to display the content they've posted onto it as long as they themselves own it or at least have the right to sublicense it; as to whether that only applies to content being displayed as posts as opposed to being incorporated into other parts of the website is beyond me
