Also Google said, it's highly possible that Pacman is registered as trademark. In that case anyone who would use it's depiction without permission can be sued. Though it depends on the degree the new character resembles the original Pacman and what the new character's created for, but all of this would have to be proven in court if the copyright holder won't appreciate the parody.

I just assume that it's risky and may require more actions rather then just draw a picture.


Or someone could just send them a letter asking for permission - in which case you have absolutely no copyright issues.

Because there is nothing to guarantee that someones original design that they are submitting doesn't resemble an existing design and therefore infringe copyright or trademark.

From what I have read is that they were granting people the rights to use the characters - so a letter stating that it can be used (Even though it would fall under fair use as a parody) would be the absolute safest option.

It's up to theymos which color and how many (single or multiple) also the order for the selected range of report number.


We can always adjust the color if we have a color code.

Also a hand pointing something could work as a reminder of the meaning behind it, just an example of it(image with Copyright):

Do we really need badge for merit source?
No we don't.

Becouse I actually don't knows how many people in this forum "merit source".

Namco opened the rights to Pac-Man and a few other games a while ago, explicitly allowing artwork that would usually fall under "derivative works"

Yes, but this concerns the development of video games based on that universe, not the use of a character design in a whole. Also these "derivative works" need to be registered somewhere in Namco's halls and their creators should pay the "tribute" if the game is commercial (or allow the ads):

They are available royalty free on shutterstock

Perhaps shutterstock has a license.



= 300 good report
= 1000 good report
= 5000 good report

In fact before I saw the original image, I thought that I'm looking at frying pan.:)

300 good report       1000 good report     5000 good report

Actually that icon is more suitable for libraries or pocket book applications.


Interesting variant - especially when it's single.

I like the pacman one. But would it result in legal problems related to copyright ?
Highly unlikely, but IANAL.
First, I don't think that a tiny icon with a humorous reference to a classic video game may be considered a breach of copyright at all.
Second, Namco opened the rights to Pac-Man and a few other games a while ago, explicitly allowing artwork that would usually fall under "derivative works":

Fair use covers parody.

And for merit source something like this

Do we really need badge for merit source? I think if we give badge for merit source, a lot people will know it and lot people will PM them and beg for merit, just my opinion.
I think that we can try. Give icons to 10 people for example. Becouse I actually don't knows how many people in this forum "merit source".  If it's will be like you wrote then it will be possible to remove.

Merit sources aren't publicly known or listed for good reasons. People would likely hassle them for merits etc.

Guys I create 3 variant icons for reports.

So first variant my favorite. Because hi causes association with protection forum.
300 good report
1000 good report
5000 good report





I think Foxpup will like that one.  Grin

I think this is a good option.
300 good report       1000 good report     5000 good report


The colors give a terrible impression. How can a red report be "good" ?  Grin

In addition to the icons, a good incentive to facilitate the work of "reporters" would be to include them in the whitelist with at least 100 good reports.

Because the delay in writing reports is sometimes very disturbing.
That would lead to people creating fake posts to report, just to be awarded with whitelisted accounts, which in turn they would sell.

Also I think that should be icons for banned and merit source

For example for ban
temporary ban
permanent ban

It's look like this


And for merit source something like this
merit source

It will look like this



Icons will be useful. They are simple and informative

I think a badger for 1000 or 2000 or whatever merits is unnecessary.
I think it's too early for this. I doubt theymos is going to introduce a badge for which only he qualifies (>2000), with only satoshi reaching the badge for 1000+.



It's something to strive for. No point adding something that everybody is going to have or get straight away. It would be meaningless then. Merit is still young and it won't be that long before some people start reaching it, but for those that do it should be rewarded with a badge (and possibly some other privileges should come along with it).


Agreed, that would be better. However, I've suggested this before in other threads, and it didn't get implemented. That's why I tried the second best option: a "banned badge".

Plenty of things have been suggested by numerous people to try combat a wide variety of issues, but rarely anything gets implemented that is suggested whether it's a good idea or not.

It's annoying when users sometimes report
It's useless work for the user too, and would safe all parties time if it can be prevented. If that time can be used to report others, the banned tag can actually help cleaning the forum.

It's a waste of everyone's time. Not sure why it would be much of deal to alert people that a user is banned. Many other forums have such a feature. I've seen ones before that change their rank to banned, or even change their avatar to a prohibited sign:



I think a badger for 1000 or 2000 or whatever merits is unnecessary.
Merit already shows off in your profile. And the forum's discussions are too focused on merit already.

Badges could try to move the attention somewhere else...

Maybe something more bitcoin related. A community helper badger? I see some users like bob123 that are always helping users in the Technical Support board....


You could say the same thing about the rank badges. Rank is already displayed so why do we need the coins? Also, who gets to decide who is 'helpful' or not for the "community helper" badge? What do you measure helpfulness in? Why not let merit be the decider of that? If someone is getting a ridiculous amount of merit then I think it's safe to say that they're pretty helpful or are a worthwhile contributor. Why wouldn't the "community helper" badge also "move the attention somewhere else"?

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.

In addition to the icons, a good incentive to facilitate the work of "reporters" would be to include them in the whitelist with at least 100 good reports.

that is actually pretty good idea, it can be something like this:

300 good reports
1000 good reports
5000 good reports

So far this is my favorite.

I personally had been trying to find images that would resemble, April O'neil for 300, Spiderman for 1000, and Superman for 5000; but I failed.

Then in a slightly combative mood I found these 3
  300
  1000
  5000

Images were found here.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! Makes me want to make several more badges for different things, though I don't know what they'd be for.
Will it be announced to all "such as rank coins" or appear in certain boards "trust system and technical badges"?
I hope that each board "Especially local boards" has a dedicated badge based on the highest reports in that board
