User-Submitted Badges

As fun as that idea is, and I'd honestly appreciate it, I'd honestly not really go for it. Too risky. Even with post cap, you have no idea if someone is just gonna go rogue, get hacked, spam, etcetc

Like yeah cool idea but I'd vote against it myself.

I personally just uploaded all of my badges to my Neocities account- i would urge other people to make one too, as it's free, and even if you don't want to make a whole website it's at least a good place to host images : )

I fixed the broken images. I'm trying out hosting the images on FileGarden.com. Unlike Neocities, the stated purpose of FileGarden is to host images for anyone to use on forums. Then Page and I started adding even more badges, so take a look and see if there are more that you want to put in your profile.

Letting any user set badges in NNP's forum software would be bad security, so we won't do that. We staff can add more badges for you, though. If any of you have images that you want to use as badges here, it would be great if you would use this thread (edit: use this other thread instead, "User Badge Suggestions") as a place to show us those images. You can use FileGarden to host your image files, too. Then we staff will decide whether to add your images to the list of badges in NNP's forum software.

Most of the badges here so far are for expressing either your alterhumanity or your gender/sexuality. That leaves out a lot of other symbols for personal expression that folks might want to put in their bio. What's missing? How about symbols for one's religion (or lack of religion)? If we display in our bios that we're Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, humanist, or whatever else, then that would help dispel the common misconception that being otherkin is itself a religion or a Pagan group. If you have an image file of your religion's symbol, and the graphic style and file type would fit in with the other badges here, then I'd be especially interested in adding those to our list of badges.
