What's Your Favorite Badge You've Earned?
We often talk about stats and milestones, but I think the badges we earn tell a story about our journey here. Badges are like "merit badges" or trophies that serve as a visual history of your contributions, your personal growth, and the kindness you have shown to others.
Some badges are Automatic (awarded by the system for things like chat counts), and some are Manual (awarded by admins or peers for specific kindnesses). I’m curious to know:
What is the most meaningful badge(s) you have on your profile?

@Heather225 I have a hard time picking favorites!
One I will mention here is my Smalls Badge: for a can-do attitude, personal sacrifice and service to the community
This is an annual badge awarded during the 7 Cups Birthday celebrations. I was awarded this badge in 2024 and as an admin was helping out in creating graphics and more in prep for the big party where these winners are announced. However, @Heather225 and the team had to push back my innocent questions there as they were finding it hard now to keep my win a secret.
And boy was it a surprise! My confused self was pleasantly in awe as I was announced as the winner of this accolade. It is a great memory not because of the win directly but the gratitude, the surprise elements and more so the thoughtful gesture I got (one of many throughout my time here).
7 Cups badges, milestones and memories all mean something special. Thank you for starting this post!
@SoulfullyAButterfly 🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋 It may have been a complete surprise to you, but it wasn't to us! You definitely deserved it for sure! Look at what you do!
@YourCaringConfidant aw thank you so much for your support!
@Heather225 I have several favorite badges that I'm most proud of. Here are just a few I've earned on my 7 Cups journey.
Smile 😃 Spreader- It's no secret. Everyone who knows me knows this was my favorite role on here. 💜 I'll always love this badge.
Academy Summit & Ripple Effect- I made sure to take advantage of all that 7 Cups offered. Goooo Desiree. 🎓
Tulip- Well, I just love the name. It's cute. Lol. 🌷
Highness of 🩷 Hearts- Again, I love this badge name too! When it came out, I knew I wanted this.
There's a lot more badges I love too, but these ones make me proud. I love badges. Hehe. 😂 Ooohhh.
@YourCaringConfidant
Jester of Smiles was one of my favourites 💜 💕
@Amanda84 I love it! I had to go read the description for the badge. Yayy for you for being such a sweet listener and members leaving you lovely reviews! In my mind, I can picture what this badge could look like. Lol.
@YourCaringConfidant
😁
@Heather225
i would say ATL, being a listener on teen side and hearing them out feels a lot rewarding💚
@daydreammemories This is so sweet! It takes a special kinda person to be able to work with the teens. Thank you for all you do to help support them. ☆♡
@YourCaringConfidant
Awww thank you. You too as well 💚
🏆 PB badge is my all time favorite. I never expected to be awarded with it and it was such a
joyful moment when I heard that I was. I've always believed in the mission that Cups has.
And knowing that Cups believes in me too is such a heartwarming knowledge.
My recent favorite is the fly swatter badge 😆
Swatting those bugs away from Cups!
✨💙✨
@AnnaSilverberg You were soooo deserving, my beautiful twin! You're truly an inspiration! 💜
@Heather225
I would have to say the following Loneliness Support Badge for joining in on the Loneliness Support Huddle. I think I was one of the first to enter the room, there are times the room is empty but when the room starts to fill up, it really comes to life.
This group so far has proven to be a great bunch of individuals supporting one an other. A place to find friendship and converse just about anything. A place to open up for those of us who are lonely in life.
So far I have had some fun times in there and some somber moments, I like to think of myself as a down to earth person and a joker because what would life be without laughter and fun times?
@braindamag3 wohooo! Thank you for being such a supportive presence and force of support. I look forward to seeing how much more we all achieve in this great space 💗
@braindamag3 Hii Syd, fellow huddler! 🙃 I totally agree with you about the room. I love when time is on our side and is convenient for us all at the same time. The liveliness is everything! I love that this room can be a safe place for those of us who need somewhere to be.
@braindamag3
Proud of you 🥰
@Amanda84
Go raibh maith agat, is mór agam na focail chineálta, a bhean uasal

@braindamag3

Beannachtai mor tu fein agus a chlann 🌲

@Heather225 I loved getting my Verified Listener badge
@breanac19 I'm super proud of you. Earning that badge and having that ✔️ is definitely something to be proud of! Wtg! 🎉
@Heather225
Jester of Smiles was one of my favorite and safe!
@Amanda84
And sage!
@Amanda84
Can not disagree with these badges for you, they are spot on. 💚
@braindamag3
@Heather225 For me it would be the Ambassador badge.
@yourbuddy30
so very well deserved <3 can't thank you enough for all the work you've done to make the Academy a fixture in our community. very thankful!
@Heather225 Thank you so much Heather!
@Heather225 Loyal Friend or Tulip. Loyal Friend is just amazing, to obtain your first good review one day out of the blue, that's when you first notice the difference you made. Tulip is when you've truly been noticed for being a good listener, someone thought about who helped them the most and they thought of you, they took the time to nominate you and most of the time write a heartfelt note.
@Heather225 Love Bug and Tulip! 💛💛💛
@KindleMissie
As a self-proclaimed heart fairy, Love Bug is a fave. And you are definitely a Love Bug <3
I am biased, but Tulip is also a fave 😆
@Heather225 hank you! 😄💖 As a devoted Love Bug, I’m honored to be recognized by the ultimate Heart Fairy! 💕😊 And yes, Tulip is just too heartwarming token of appreciation, I totally agree, it’s a fave! 🌷😆
