I wrote to the KDE-www list, but I was told to speak up here as well. I said,
"Hi all, there has been a request for a special badge for those who donate in the upcoming fundraising drive, such as "I support Freedom"
or a button, or similar. Is this possible, and if so, to whom do we need to talk to to get it implemented?"

to forum-admin, kde-www
Hi,

This would probably be something for the forum administrators, I've cc:ed all admins to make sure everyone sees this request.

By badge, do you mean the thing displayed below your username, e.g. "Administrator" on memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=847?
In that case it would probably be simplest to create a new user group (something like "Supporter"?).
The issue then is how to automatically add users who donated to this group.
What information do users provide when donating? Can they e.g. provide an email or optional information, which could be their KDE Identity/forum username?

Cheers,
Hans
=========

When we announce the fundraiser on the forum, we'll be talking to people who already have a login, so I don't think that will be a problem. Naturally, we hope to find people who don't have an Identity account (yet) but they are unlikely to care about forum badges! I think it would be cool to create a new group, and supporter would be a great name.

Hm, what I would love to see is the ability to have more than one badge, currently one can only show one, so an admin will only show as an admin, no way to also show a supporter badge.

Showing multiple badges would require some core modifications unfortunately.
Valorie, do you know if we have the supporters email addresses?
