Customizations to the Discourse (Community) Badging system

[annlarson]

We would like to customize the badging system on Discourse.

https://staging.community.debtsyndicate.org/admin/badges

We would like badges ONLY in the following areas. The rest can be removed/disabled.

New badges

1) Disputing Hero Disputer This would be for anyone who completed a debt dispute

2) Organizing Hero Organizer This would be for people who conduct organizing on the platform, for actual organizing work like creating an event or action.

3) Admin Admin This would be a badge for people doing admin work on the platform. It could help users know who the admins are.

4) Solidarity Bloc Solidarity This is a badge for people who offer a skill or donate something or in some way perform an act of solidarity.

These can be awarded manually for now.

Discourse badges

5) Great Reply This is so we can encourage people to be nice and encouraging

6) Great Post This is so we can encourage people to post good stuff.

This are awarded automatically based on the number of likes a Post/Reply receives.

Tasks

• [x] Disable all the default badges except for Great Reply and Great Post
• [x] Create the new badges

Acceptance Criteria

• Only the badges described above are enabled

@annlarson yes, we can award badges manually. I added a Hero Disputer badge to your profile.

I think is a good idea to start manually and automate as we go.
