Hey everyone,

I’ve been exploring ways to boost user engagement on my website’s comment section using wpDiscuz & I was wondering if anyone has experimented with adding custom badges to comments. My goal is to reward active users by displaying unique badges based on their participation; such as the number of comments posted, upvotes received, or even membership levels. While wpDiscuz has built-in features for user ranks, I’d love to customize this further with unique visuals and criteria. 😑 

I’ve looked into CSS tweaks and potential integrations with third-party plugins, but I’m curious if there’s a more efficient way to achieve this. Ideally, I’d like badges to appear dynamically based on predefined conditions without requiring manual updates.  😊 Has anyone successfully implemented something similar? Are there specific hooks or filters in wpDiscuz that allow for custom badge assignments? Checked https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/customization/custom-template-and-style- devops related to this and found it quite informative.

If you’ve tried this or have ideas on how to implement it, I’d love to hear your insights! Any guidance on using custom shortcodes, external plugins, or wpDiscuz-specific settings to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
