Looks good initiatives.By the way, I am a little bit curious on who will count the report threads, especially valid report threads?
Will the forum have a new bot to do this or this task will do manually by forum staffs?

Now my question is why do you chose Red as the color of the "Good report Badge"? You can use green instead.
I chose Red as the color of the "Good report Badge", because for me this color means wealth and strength. From history we know that this is the color of kings... I think that I'm going to add some badges for people who report a bunch of posts. Maybe one for 300 good reports, one of 1000, and one for 5000. Does anyone want to make or find these images? They have to be exactly 16x16 px (like 
), and if you find them online, then they must be copyright-free.
I think that the badge should look like a pen on the background of a sheet of paper. The background of the sheet will denote the "productivity" of the author. For example:), and if you find them online, then they must be copyright-free.Copper sheets - 300;
Silver - 1000;
Gold - 5000.
Something like that
This one is neat, but I'm not sure about the colors.
I like them too. The colours can easily be changed. I think the colours should probably be more distinct from each other.
Thanks guys. Actually, I already made a version with better colors https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.43388373
or maybe a rat is the best option 
How about grass instead:
I think that one would actually look pretty cool haha.

I like the shields best so far because they symbolize protection.
Better even would be bells because they may symbolize bell-ringers.
I leave the design with others as there are clearly more talented.

So do condoms. Which protect bell-ends, so maybe combine them both and have some little rubber johnny icons:
Why not just go with the same coin theme as the existing rank icons, but in a different color that indicates a white-hat look & feel, such as green? All of these ideas are great, but most of the suggested icons do not fit the current look and feel of what the forums have to offer.
Here's an example:
The coin gif is already in use, which means it's royalty-free (I'm assuming), and it's not hard to re-color the existing image that you're already using. The look is uniform, and it matches well with the existing feel of the forums.
I modified the milestones a bit, and maybe you could add a half-coin accent (for the fifth coin) for anyone that submits over 10,000 good reports (to match the existing rank icons).
Sometimes the most subtle changes/additions are the most effective ones. Thoughts?

Yeah, I do agree simplistic changes are effective and look more appropriate. Shields/insignia/caps/nuke, rats/dogs, although all these are very good, IMO, like this one, a simple coin theme that aligns with the existing profile would be better than a "reporter going to war or sniffing around", although that's what reporters (of Bitcointalk) do, but it might look funny and take away the seriousness of time and effort being put into reporting. IMO, this is a good idea, simple and to the point, but not green and milestones can be modified where reporter badge requirements wouldn't end up spamming mods, guess that's all left to spam.

But reporters don't protect anyone. Moderators are here to protect and punish - reporters just help them, observe and (obviously) report.
And that's why I suggest bell-ringer bells.

How about a sniffer dog
I think it would be rude.
Icons that are designed to be so small need to be extremely easy to recognize. Unfortunately, yours are not, mate.
Fair point, I guess simplicity is sometimes the key. I liked the idea though, so tried increasing the size a bit. Maybe they look a little less fish like now
I quite like the Sherlock Holmes ones someone did, instantly recognizable. 
300 reports
1000 reports
5000 reportsOr possibly another one of birds, as in the old saying 'a little birdie told me'...
300 reports
1000 reports
5000 reports 
Hoping I'm not repeating anyone's suggestion here, went through a few pages, but being honest I didn't read the full thread. How about a sniffer dog, with the colour changing as the number of reports rises? Not entirely sold on the colours, but could change them to anything.

And the rest of my work. Eighth and ninth options looks like police badges. Because people who make reports, they as forum police and guarded forum.

How about some badges which staff members can vote on a monthly basis for the 'best' reporter. Could encourage users to report more, and include more detail, and tackle more complex issues.

It doesn't stand out enough for me to encourage users to report more. I think making it unique to the current ranking up ones would be better, and more effective in getting more users to report. Sometimes the most subtle changes/additions are the most effective ones. Thoughts?
I'm doing 3 icons with color:bronze, silver, gold. And 1 icon with one option.
I'll post the icons and how they will look

I'm pretty sure that it should be a stand-alone icon with a different color for each rank — to avoid similarities with the rank medals.
Because it's not about forum rank, it's just your number of reports and it shouldn't be an equal weight with the rank (which is much more important)
