The New iOSGods Awards, Ranks & Badges!

Rook · October 18, 2021

Hi everyone!

Today we're happy to announce the new Awards system to iOSGods which will include Ranks & Badges!

What's this?
This is the new awarding system which will replace the old version we had here. All awards will now be automagically awarded when you meet their requirement so there's no more manual requesting! These new awards are integrated throughout our community and you can see them in your profile, the profile dropdown, the member hovercard and next to your profile picture in posts.

Ranks
There will be 14 ranks and everyone will begin with Newbie and you can gradually work your way up to Grand Master rank by participating in the community. Each participation awards you points, and once you reach a certain points threshold (see screenshot above), you will be promoted to the next rank. Ranks replace the old pip system if anyone remembers!

Ranks will be displayed next to your profile picture in posts (see screenshots) above and it shouldn't be confused with the current rank groups as they are separate things.

Badges
Badges are like awards. You get badges for starting a new topic, making your first reply, starting a new private message, receiving reputation, getting followers, making posts, etc.

Badges will be marked as 'Rare' if less than a few percentage of members have said badge so it means the badge is unique!

We have custom built rank images for iOSGods and we will do the same for badges too! We will also adjust & add more ranks & badges to provide a bigger variety. Looking forward to your suggestions!

Hope you like this new addition to iOSGods!
