Karma badges

[jaspervriends]

Not sure how this would work out, but automatically select 'primary' badges based on relevant tags of a discussion

NOTICE: This concept does not mean it will give automatic badges. Giving badges should be done automatically by the Automoderator extension

Relevant badges -> Show the badges on places to show your knowledge/commitment to subject.

Current calculations idea:

• 1 point per post in a tag
• 1 point per received like in a tag where you have posted in
• 1 point per marked 'best answer'

Idea: Points can be custom set

Other examples and limits:

• Per tag/subject could have multiple earnable badges (sub-tags can have badges as well)
• Per user the badge points will be calculated using the point calculator for a badge
• Every badge can have one single relevant tag
• Badges will be shown if a comment or tag is relevant enough depending on the amount of points they've collected with that tag or badge (compared other badges with the tags)
• Optional: Only show badge if person is in Top 10

Relationships

A tag can have multiple badges, but a badge only one tag (to simplify calculations)
