Our community make The Student Room what it is. They're a huge group of very helpful members who support others by giving top-notch guidance and always being up for a chat! TSR badges are awarded to identify, recognise, endorse and commend our members who helpfully contribute and play an active role in our communities.
We originally began with just three badges (Cleverclogs, Chatterbox and Hero), and we've added 18 new badges in 2017, so you've got a whole new set to earn! These badges will show on your profile page.
If you were already a member of TSR...
We just wanted to say THANK YOU!
If you were already a member of The Student Room prior to the new badge release on 30 August 2017, you might have found yourself with quite the swag of new badge glory. We wanted to recognise all the amazing things you've done on TSR to-date, and say well done! Enjoy your badges, and don't worry, this isn't the last of the badge updates...
Put your game faces on... We're upping the ante soon...
Whale hello!
Whale, hello there! Welcome to The Student Room!
The best way to get the most out of TSR is by getting involved in the chat - the sooner the better. Post once in the first hour of your membership, and you'll get the most pun-tastic badge ever!
One of Us
Hooray! You're a member of the UK's biggest online student community. To celebrate, here's a membership badge for you. This is the only badge on TSR that has SIX levels! Can you make it? If you're already a member, this badge counts from the day you joined.
Conversationalist
Do you have that special knack for getting conversation going?
On TSR, we love a good natter. Start a thread which gets lots of chins wagging, and you'll be a level 3 Conversationalist in no time. Don't forget to pop back and keep the chat going!
First!
Are you the road runner of helpfulness?
No one likes waiting for a great answer to their important question. Jump into a thread and be the first one to respond with some delightful advice to score this top spot badge.
Rep Boss
Is your advice or banter particularly on point?
If you make a post that is super helpful, super supportive or super hilarious, and you get lots of rep on it, you're a total rep boss. But don't forget to rep other people too!
Rep-Present
Never forget to say thank you...
Recognise someone who's really impressed you on TSR by giving them rep. But don't just keep it in the family - the more people you rep, the higher your levels will go.
Questioner
Calling all knowledge sponges!
If you're a Study Help afficianado who wants to know all the answers, you'll have this badge in no time. Make sure you keep your interests broad though - variety is the spice of life, as they say.
Early Bird
The TSR Early Bird is a rare breed...
Only seen only in the early hours of the morning, this creature is at it's best just as the rest of the world is just waking up. Better set the alarm clock for this one!
Night Owl
Late night studying got you burning the midnight oil?
Firstly - get some sleep! Secondly, if you can't - here's a badge! When the books are packed away and you're winding down for the night, a little late night TSR could be just the ticket.
Home Bird
Do you prefer to comforts of home rather than wild adventure?
If all your TSR love is distilled into one forum, this badge will be yours before you can say 'relaxed night in'. The more dedication you show to your favourite forum, the higher the level you'll go.
Social Butterfly
The ultimate badge for the super chatty TSRian.
If you can't get enough of every inch of TSR, this challenge is for you. Can you get around every section of TSR, being helpful, talkative and awesome? Only the most hardcore members will get this beauty.
Section Badges
There's something for everyone on TSR, but let's face it...We all have our favourites. Maybe you're a Games of Thrones buff and spend a lot of time chatting in Entertainment, or perhaps you're a Maths genius and like to be in Study Help to give others a hand. You can earn each of these section badges for posting lots in each particular section.
These badges are the originals. They're like the older siblings of the badge family - showing the newbies how it's done. They have been well-loved by our community for years and are an absolute must-have for all badge collectionists.
Chatterbox
Love to chat? It won't be very long before this badge comes your way.
At The Student Room, we love discussion. The Chatterbox badge is awarded to the number of posts you make it the last month. Heads up though, this doesn't include posts in Chat and Forum Games.
Clever Clogs
Are you super helpful in the Study Help forums?
It's the supportive members who make sure everyone gets a helpful answer that make TSR so brilliant. You'll go up badge levels depending on how many of your posts get 'rep' in the SH forums.
Hero
Do you give great advice and really support your mates?
This badge recognises people who do their best to respond to all the threads created on TSR. If you get rep from the original poster (OP) of an unanswered thread, you'll become a Hero!
