Propose Inquisitor Badges – A Good Thing

ArchivedUser

Greetings: At times I have been banned or unable to post because of my sharp criticism and ‘flaming’ posts. In all fairness, Intrepid is full of understanding and forgiveness that there may be some subjectivity & misunderstandings involved. I have called for a ‘naughty’ word filter and an ignore option for forum members. Kudos to Intrepid.

Perhaps a badge for “inquisitor” or "rebel scum" can be assigned, marking that account as communicating in blunt, direct, or probing posts. It serves as a flag that IF one wishes to engage in criticisms, the favor may be returned (as example).  Personally, this badge is a good thing - emblematic to the resistance to the empire or 4th order.  I trust this post is perceived as a positive contribution to this forum. What do you think?  Best regards.

They may as well just label them a Troll. Without actually dealing with these posts the community would turn toxic. Everyone would be trolling on each other making it a lot less nice to be in this community.

I agree with Relwoh. Branding them will seem like an offensive move to some, a goal to some, and some won't care. a naughty label is not a good idea, and some people may also be essentially censored with that label. the intent is clearly a good one, to expose the more toxic members, but it might backfire in unknown ways

I at first, and by the way you describe it. Ageed with the op. Though i didnt think ahead till reading irobots comment. I would havto agree. That its a cool idea. But i think it could go wrong.

Kind of liking this idea, but I can definitely see where it WILL go wrong. 
Some people just need to grow a back bone and not take things so serious, but alas that won't ever happen. I personally just try to limit my community involvement because I know it just gets me in trouble or I avoid certain topics. Some times you just have to take a step back and....try......to check what you're saying(typing) before you send it

Solution: Perhaps one could offer (accept/reject) a badge to the person?  I would accept and wear the badge.  It is analogous to name dropper – name dropper, what’s that?  It draws one’s interest.  Back to the philosophy of an inquisitor badge.  A definition of an inquisitor is a person making an inquiry, especially one seen to be excessively harsh or searching.  Here is my example of an inquisitor posed as Person1:

Person1 Post: The glass is half empty.

Person2 Reply: The glass is half full.

Person1 Response: We should fill up the glass.

Person2 Reply: Half empty is a negative and harsh term.

No please don't give badges for negative behaviour, I have a serious collectors spirit, and to me even if the badge is 'bad' I would desperately wan't to get it... please spare me   (negative behaviour being flaming etc, if people wan't to engage in such heated debates they should take it to discord or even chat.)
