Peertube: Roles badges

Created on 28 Jan 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: Chocobozzz/PeerTube

In some use cases it is useful to quickly know who got special privileges. It also improve governance transparency of the instance.

Here is some quick mock-up (the icon might be not adequate but you get the idea):

screenshot_20190128_174116

Note that there is just one icon on the images, but 2 icons should be used, one for the role moderator and another one for the role Moderator.

Type UI

i suggest having a few more badges including

  • verified /official ( like the common blue tick) (admin of an instance could verify a user and grant this for example)
  • email verified (like reddit email verified)
  • donor/sponsor
  • instance sponsor

Some of these are clearly quality of life improvements, would help in promoting the idea of a sponsorship model wherein a user would get a badge by a content creator because they want to acknowledge the donors support. The way private tracker websites use donor badges for users who have donated to site. usually they get benefits but other than that, just a warm fuzzy feeling. I am not suggesting going all youtube on this. Gamification should not be the end result and that does not work most of the time but private trackers have shown for years that a simple donor star beside the name works. Why cant it work in peertube also?

We should design a few things here :3

  • [ ] Admin Badge (:shield:)
  • [ ] Moderator Badge (:hammer:)
  • [ ] Online/Offline Badge for everyone else (:traffic_light:)
