PS4Linux Badges are a way for us to let the users know that we appreciate their content and contribution. There are several badges that can be awarded to the users. Here is a quick list of all the currently available badges and how these can be acquired.
There are two kinds of badges on the forum:-
- Badges that have to be requested
- Badges earned automatically
Badges that have to be requested
This category includes the badges that the user has to request, i.e., the member will have to request beforehand to be given these awards. At the same time, the admin may give these awards to deserving members even without request.
To make a request for the badge, the user has to reply in this thread. DO NOT post on any other threads or start a new thread for badge request. These will not be honoured.
Anyways, here is a list of all the badges that come under this category with the requirements and instructions.
Developer
This is awarded to a well-known developer in the PS4 jailbreaking or PS4 Linux community. These will usually be awarded automatically, but to avoid impersonation, we might ask you to prove that you are the real developer using Twitter profile. If you haven't yet received the badge, please reply to this thread with relevant information that prove your credentials as a developer.
