Description
StackOverflow.com has badges, video-games often have achievements, and I believe Code-Wars would benefit from adding badges & achievements as well. It should be tangent-to/separate-from the honor system (i.e., it is not based on honor-points).
Here are some ideas:
[Nice Solution] : A badge you can get by having a solution that earns 3+ Best-Practices votes
[Clever Devil] : (Similar to the above) but for Clever solutions
[Revisionist] : You get by editing/correcting other katas
[Burgeoning Author] : (one-time) You get for authoring your first kata
[Prolific Author] : (one-time) You get by authoring lots of kata
[Silver Solution] : Getting 10 Best-Practice votes
[Gold Solution] : Getting 20+ Best-Practice votes
[Poly-Glot] : Getting above a 5-kyu in 3+ languages
etc... The Medal modifier (i.e., "Gold/Silver" could be extended to create ranks of badges, "Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum Whatever Badge".
It would be nice for a badge to be a link in the user's profile to the thing that earned the badge (i.e., the solution, comment, translation, etc.).
