New Badge Idea: Tech Advisor Badge for PF Tech Section

  • Thread starter vincentm

In summary, there is a suggestion for a Tech Advisor badge to recognize exceptional help in the Tech section of PF. It is mentioned that currently, these individuals may fall into the science adviser category. To nominate someone for a medal, the "report" button can be used and they should have 600-800 accurate and helpful posts on the subject and at least 3 months of current postings. It is also noted that if someone believes they meet this criteria and were overlooked, they can ask a mentor to review their posting history. The number of posts required can be a combination of different topics, such as math, biology, physics, and engineering.

Wouldn't those people currently fall into the science adviser category in our current set up?

Yes, if you have anyone you want to nominate for recognition for a medal, you can use the "report" button on one of their posts, and just mention that you think they deserve a medal for their continued efforts. That would help us identify deserving members since we don't have a mentor assigned to that forum. Rule of thumb, a member should have 600-800 posts on the subject that are *accurate* and *helpful* in tone, and at least 3 months of current postings on the forum. So there are a number of factors we are looking for before a medal is given.

Also, if someone thinks they meet this criteria and were overlooked, don't hesitate to ask a mentor to have your posting history reviewed. We are only human and we miss people sometimes.

Evo, do you mean 600-800 posts altogether or 600-800 posts on the topic they are being given the medal for?

It could be a combination of math, biology, physics, engineering, etc... It doesn't have to be on a specific topic.
