Users can be labeled with badges. These are images with a short text, expressing user's activity level, importance or role in the context of the web site. They are displayed in forum posts, on users' public profile or in your own custom control.
There are two types of badges:
| • | Automatic badges - these are assigned to users based on the number of gained activity points |
| • | Non-automatic badges - these are assigned to users manually by site administrators and are assigned permanently, regardless of the number of gained activity points |
In the screenshot below, you can see one of the pre-defined badges in a forum post.
