Badges
Every badge on xyst.wtf, how each one is earned, and which land automatically.
The catalogue
Badges sit under your name on your page. There are 10 in the catalogue, and each one says how it is earned.
Automatic or granted
An automatic badge lands the moment you qualify, and it is checked when you open your dashboard rather than by a job that runs later. Link Discord, come back, and the badge is already there.
The rest are granted by the team. Being helpful in the Discord server, boosting it, or supporting the site are all judged by a person, which is exactly why they are not automatic.
OG is granted at the moment an account confirms its email, so the count is of finished signups rather than of claimed names.
Choosing what to show
Owning a badge and showing it are two different things. Every badge you have has a switch in Your Badges, and turning one off takes it off your page without giving it up.
Hidden badges stay out of the JSON and off your README card too, since both carry exactly what your page shows.
Custom badges
A custom badge is one that exists on your profile alone: you name it and you upload its icon. It is bought rather than earned, and one purchase is one badge, so a second badge is a second purchase.
An animated GIF stays animated as a badge icon. A slot with no icon yet wears an outline star until you upload one.
