How Do Community Badges Work?

Community Badges

Community badges are visual indicators of your activity and trustworthiness within a community network. The more you contribute, the more badges you earn — and the higher your trust level becomes.

How to Earn Badges

• First Alert: Post your first community alert
• Helpful Spotter: Report your first verified sighting
• Active Member: Participate consistently over time
• Trusted Reporter: Have multiple sightings verified by alert owners
• Community Champion: Help resolve multiple alerts through accurate sightings

Trust Levels

As you earn badges, your trust level increases. Higher trust levels mean:

• Your sightings are highlighted for alert owners
• Your reports carry more weight in the community
• You gain access to additional community features

Verification

Badges are earned through real activity — they cannot be purchased or transferred. The system automatically tracks your contributions and awards badges when milestones are reached.
