When does a member deserve a certain badge?

There are several ways in which members may receive official badges. Badges may be earned in various ways, which are explained on the many pages linked below.

What systems do we apply for each badge?

Most badges work with a system of upgrading: the more you do the prettier your badge becomes. Almost every badge has its own system of upgrading.
A common system is to start off with a green badge. The green badge then becomes a coloured one. Coloured badges show upgrades through items being added to the badge.
Other badges don't have a green version at all and start with a coloured badge that can be upgraded to a higher badge.
To see exactly how each badge can be earned you can visit the wikis below:

Responsibilities

Even though it is the task of the Elftown crew to hand members the proper badges, it is your own responsibility to point out mistakes that were made. There are just too many members for us to monitor.

Perhaps you were not given the badge you deserve, perhaps you were given the wrong badge or perhaps a typo was made in the badgeslot. Please contact the Guards or the Council and explain properly what the problem is.

Contest badges
Do take into account that handing out badges for contests usually takes some time. Only report about a badge missing if you are sure you have been skipped.
If you suspect a whole contest to have been forgotten, you can report it. However, before doing so you should check if there have been any official announcements about it in the news.

False claims will not be tolerated.
