Badges

Small marks on your profile that record what you have done for Member Counter.

A badge lives on your Member Counter profile, not on a server. Badges are cosmetic, they change nothing the bot does for your server.

The badges

The bot shows them in this order.

Icon	Name	How you get it
❤️	Donor	Donate to the project. Staff add the badge by hand.
💎	Premium	Granted automatically when a custom bot subscription is set up.
🧪	Beta Tester	Granted by staff for testing a build before its release.
🌎	Translator	Translate the bot on Tolgee.
💻	Contributor	Get a pull request merged in the repository.
🧠	Big Brain	Suggest an idea that we end up building.
🐛	Bug Catcher	Report a bug that turns out to be real.
🐱	???	???
🧬	Folding @ Home	Granted by staff for folding for the Member Counter team.

How to contribute explains translating, code and donations in full.

Where badges show

On the account page, your badges sit under your username. Hover one to read its description.

Your badges on the account page, with one description shown

In Discord, the /profile command shows them in a Badges field. Run it on yourself, or pass a user to see someone else's badges. You can also right-click a member and choose Apps → Profile.

The reply of /profile, with the Badges field

A user who holds no badges gets an empty Badges field, and no badges on the account page.

Delete data in the reply of /profile deletes your Member Counter profile, badges included. There is no way to get them back other than earning them again.

Roles in the support server

Every badge has a matching role in the support server, and the two stay in sync on their own, in both directions. A badge you hold gets you its role, and a role you are given gets you its badge. When a matching role is taken from you, the badge goes with it. Other roles have nothing to do with badges.

Technical details

• Badges are one bitfield on the user record, one bit per badge. The list, its order and the emoji: packages/common/src/UserBadges.ts.

• Staff pick badges by name, and the names differ between tools: 🐱 is "Pat Pat" in the admin panel and "PatPat" in /associate, 🧬 is "folding@home" and "Folding @ Home". Users only ever see the emoji and its description. 🐱 is an easter egg.

• 💎 Premium is granted to the account that owns the bot the moment a custom bot subscription is set up. The bot never takes it away, so it stays on the profile after the subscription ends.

• The role-to-badge pairs are set once by staff with /associate <role> <badge> in the support server; everything after that is automatic. It needs Manage Roles, runs only inside a server, and holds one badge per role, so running it again on the same role replaces the mapping.

• The badge-to-role sweep runs when a member joins, over all members whenever the support server becomes available to the bot, and at the end of /associate, so an existing member does not have to leave and rejoin. It only adds roles, so a badge removed from a profile leaves its role in place, and it skips members who have no Member Counter profile.

• The other direction runs on every member update in the support server: the badges of the roles just added are set, the badges of the roles just removed are cleared.

• Delete data shows on your own profile and to staff holding Manage Users, More options to staff holding Manage Users or See Users. /profile on someone who has never used the bot or the dashboard answers "User not found." (knownErrors.USER_NOT_FOUND).
