You’ve read it correctly! Now it’s possible to apply for your very own community badge!
How will it work?
For the first event of this kind, we’ll ask for responses to be added as replies to this forum post. Beyond this and depending on how well received this is, we’ll then host an area where you can apply on a web page or something similar for future events of this type. We just want to gauge how well this is received firstly before implementing this on a grander scale.
Once some time has passed, we’ll review the applications, inform the users directly who were picked by TS and then the TS community can then vote for who they think should receive their very own community badge. (We’ll DM the communities who were picked, here on the forums).
Sounds good, what would you like to know?
For each application, if you can reply to the questions in the same format that would be great (so 1-7. If you don’t have links for the community, say N/A, none or something similar, but please answer every question so we can review your community as fairly as possible).
- What is your community name?
- What position do you hold in the community?
- How long has the community been running?
- Do you have a current logo for the community?
- What is the community server address?
- Do you have any web/social/streamer links for the community?
- Describe in as much details as possible what makes your community unique, or what makes the server special.
Potential questions you may have.
Can we reapply each time this event comes up?
Absolutely
Do we receive any reasoning behind why we weren’t picked?
No
We earned a community badge, however we are merging with a another server/we are rebranding/we are updating our logo. Can we update the badge?
No. Similar to other badges, once this has been added there isn’t a way to modify this so please think very carefully about the badge that you would like to represent your community.
Is there a fixed timeframe on when these events will happen?
Not at this time. It will really depend on how many communities are interested in this to determine how often we’ll do this. Each time this takes place however, we’ll let everyone know on all of our social platforms.
Is it possible for the badge we have to be removed?
Only if it’s a last resort. We appreciate that every single server is completely different and has a varying degree of rules contained within each server, however if the server was displaying “bad behaviours” that might portray TeamSpeak in a negative light, we would need to intervene. We would attempt to have a chat about this first to hopefully resolve this, but failing this we do have the facility to remove this if there is no resolution or any other choice.
Is this a public badge similar to our range of badges as it stands, or will it be a badge that we can give out to our users?
This would be a public badge, so anyone can effectively redeem your badge.
If anything else comes up in relation to this topic which needs to be addressed, I’ll update this forum post if it’s needed.
Looking forward to seeing your applications.
