FORUM FEATURE SUGGESTION: orange hats!!!

[DJPaul]

Please find attached a plugin for BBPress which amends the poster's image to show if they've contributed bug reports. Allows moderators to mark certain users as a "bug squatter." Thus entitled Orange Hats.

The idea behind this is to "reward" people for reporting or fixing bugs in the codebase and hopefully engage others to do the same. This was something burtadsit and I discussed on IRC and, as we thought it a good idea, I ended up spending a few hours writing it as opposed to spending my time reporting actual bugs (burtadsit's fault!).

It overlays the ​http://testbp.org/favicon.ico over the user's gravatar. BBPress admins can mark which users to give this to by going into "Edit" on that user profile. I think we need a better overlay image but, alas, I'm not allowed to use my crayons.

yeeehaaa! It took me about 1/2 hour before I could come back here without laughing to download and try this out.

Nice job. We need this.

*Swatter, not squatter. That brings to mind something else entirely. o_O

[burtadsit]

Well djpaul, if we claim the ticket as our own and don't fix it for a length of time would that make us 'squatters'?

Cute cat.

Mind if I squat with you?

[DJPaul]

Blame Burt.
