[Proposal] Roles on discord and colorful Badges

Hi (sanc)tumies :thought_balloon:,

I like to hang around and enjoy the game of collecting Roles :person_raising_hand: and Badges :name_badge: and watch some colorful :rainbow: pseudos on discord in general.

I was thinking maybe sanctum :cloud: could implement some as well based on different criteria,
by either typing some command like /cloud each day and make the size of our cloud big and bigger and at some point, we could buy roles to get some type of CLOUD next to our names :cloud_with_lightning: :cloud_with_rain: :cloud_with_snow: , or like COLORFUL NAMES or even the obtention of some NFT made by sanctum.

Could be based on the activity on the discord in the different channels too (no spamming, like the karma system on Mitosis perhaps?).

Just pure cute designs to have more sanctum vibes on the discord ! :sun_behind_small_cloud:

This sounds like a fun idea to retain community engagement and the feeling of achievement. The Pathfinders server is doing this pretty effectively and I do enjoy it very much. Tea and Mochi!

Nice proposition, @JaunePomme! I also think Discord roles are a lot of fun, and it would be great to see more of them in Sanctumā€™s Discord! The system reflects your actual participation - if you have a badge, it means you truly earned it and value it. It makes it easier to recognize whoā€™s who, not because of hierarchy, but because each person has different interests and contributions. For instance, I love art, so I might aim for an artist badge. It would definitely add to the fun and engagement over there!

If you mix in NFTs based on certain achievements, this could take things to the next level. People would be competing for those rare roles and badges, adding a whole new dynamic to the chat. Pure vibes for the Discord, and itā€™s exactly the kind of thing that would keep people sticking around. :sun_behind_large_cloud::eyes:

I mean, NFT or not, just something to make the discord interaction more pure and genuine, not just people spamming in order to desperately get some roles and cash out of it. :person_cartwheeling:

I just want Sanctum :cloud: to be the chill place on SOLANA chain and making it colorful/playful would be one way to do it I think !

Thanks for your opinions guys ! :sun_behind_small_cloud:

Maybe collect them first :smiley: See what we can do with em to connect to Discord~

Yeah or this, but so far, from what Iā€™ve seen on discord, there is not many ā€œbadges/rolesā€ there. I remember seeing minicloud, cloud, og cloudmaster, server booster, lst something but thatā€™s it

But literally the badges here are like ā€œfirst likeā€ ā€œfirst replyā€ ā€œfirst messageā€, meh :cloud_with_snow:

Not fun enough and worthy to be farmed. Sanctum is a friendly place, the visual is a huge part of the protocol and the community. The logo is literally a cloud, we see a lot of skies and pets, itā€™s clearly oriented to be green/comfy/cutie stylie ecosystem :cloud:

I think having like REAL badges on discord (most of the people is there and not on the research forumā€¦) and having proper titles, friendly ones, would have a good impact on the image of Sanctum Iā€™m sure.

In comparison you can see many discord server where the roles are a bitā€¦harsh, doesnā€™t look good and just there to milk the users. Sanctum could strike strong with this, at least for the beginner-friendly community :sun_behind_small_cloud:

Yeah i get chu, it shuld be more fun and more illustrativeā€¦ maybe those roles n colorful badges can be based on the efforts from @luciotamino and the other cloudmen at:

With the roles, would be good to brainstorm what kind of names and roles and reqs that might be beneficial to identify and reward our cloudmen?

Yep, should be nice to have a consensus to see who/when/how/what role we should attribute.
Just purely for the fun and to motivate ppl and give some sense of altruism doing something useful for the community !

Could be lucio, you and someone else and at the townhall you would vote or something to decide about it :kissing:

Hey guys! Nice to see the roles idea picking up pace! We should definitely brainstorm the new roles!

I originally had the idea of an ā€œartistā€ role, but then I thought of a more fun, engaging concept that fits perfectly with what weā€™ve been doing: a Cloudie Clan role! It would be awarded to everyone who contributed to the Cloudie Emoji Clan project. This would be very fitting because of the collaborative project we have going on, and everyone who participates will have the emojis they created featured on the POAP for Sanctumā€™s Nexus Podcast #4 and will receive a part of a grant donated by several earnest members. It would be a memorable role with a lot of meaning behind it! It could also be a new reason for people to join the initiative! hehe

Of course, it would also be given to anyone who makes new emojis or Sanctum-inspired art, even after the POAP collaborative project is over. But the role would not be awarded for art made solely with AI, or for memes. The role could have the ā€œartistā€ emoji next to it (created and suggested by mith), like the other recently created roles, and for the color, we could consider turquoise or lime (suggested by n8). Right now, there are already 15 people who would qualify for the role!
@Alkine, what do you think of this idea? Hope you like it! We can always adjust if needed. @cwchan should be the first to get the role! Haha.
Thank you!

I like the proposal, let me do a post about it in the discord channel hehe :partly_sunny:
As long as we donā€™t give it to anyone who made one with AI in like 2mn, Iā€™m in !

The role has meaning so one should show how he fits in through art :hatched_chick:

We will add the emoji POAP after POAP on the POAP ART picture so we will see how big the community gets Townhall after Townhall hehe :kissing:

This should be quite the fun. Perhaps can contribute to shedding some lingering apathy towards sanctum.
