Greetings,
I have always thought it would be cool if you could tell just by looking at a members profile if they had been on the network for very long or if they were a new guy. My network http://hhoinformation.com deals with some pretty high tech stuff so the new guys normaly need help. So when I saw than Ning had developed the badge system I realized this was now possible.
What I did was pretty simple. I just made text badges for each year and went down my members list assigning members a badge that coincided with the year that they joined. Once I did this my members found it very nice to be able to tell if a member was a new guy or a more seasoned member. This also allowed new members a way of knowing who would be more likely to have an answer to a question rather than shooting in the dark.

Thanks for sharing, gabet123! I think that's a great use of badges.
