I have been wondering this for a while. (This is yet another suggestion for the MB, rather than SRB2). What if we implemented username badges like on the MFGG board? Among other things, it could replace the gold usertitle system for contest winners, which would serve two purposes. First, it would be a permanent record of the person's victory. Second, it would solve the problem of displaying contest victories for staff members, since the new way of displaying contest victories would not interfere with the color of the username itself. Maybe we could also create a badge system for addon authors, too.
I'm not saying that we should go award-crazy and cook up a hundred million different kinds of badges like they do on some boards. That would probably be little more than an inane distraction from the issues we normally discuss. But implementing a modest badge system for things like contest winners or addon releases could be beneficial in that it could reveal the achievements of users to people who are new to the site.
