Make even more basic badges to influence participation positively

[philpraxis]

Currently the current most basic badge is one person that does a sighting.

You could have even "lower" badges that would be super positive to encourage people who are typically shy or frightened or mystified by these Threat Intelligence system, but who would contribute something critical or something at critical times.

So here are a few badges suggestions (from most Basic to most Advanced, but remember it's very basic level below the "sighter" ensign badge):

1. Visitor (logs once a year)
2. User (longs once a month)
3. Regular (logs once a week)
4. Regular Pro (logs 3 times a week)
5. Addict (logs once a day)
6. ...

and importantly, send them a mail if they're going to loose their Visitor or User badge (not other ones, that would be improductive flooding).

the goal is to have stickiness with users that you WILL depend on when in the red zone (i.e. emergency, critical event, ...) or who can be contributing rare but key information / files / hashes / events / attributes.

Thank you very much for the great idea! Having badges for things simpler is indeed important.
