Badges

What do all those little icons mean?

Member badges are a quick, visual tool that give information about members and their relationship to the larger HASTAC community.

	Official HASTAC news and/or content posted by HASTAC staff or leadership
	HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition winner or winning project
	HASTAC Scholar
	Blocked/spammer
	User points badge. Members accrue points based on their interactions with the site. New bars are given at 10, 50, 100, 200, and 300 points. Some of the activities that earn points include commenting (2), adding a picture to your profile (5), posting content (5), and creating groups (10). If we suspect a member of attempting to game the point system, we may remove the user's points. All points expire one year after they are earned.
