Haveeru Online Badges

At present we have Comments Badges, User Badges, and a badge awarded to outstanding comments by Haveeru Online editors.

There are four levels of Comments Badges – 10 Comments, 25 Comments, 50 Comments and 100 Comments. Users can unlock Comments Badges when the number of comments published reaches above those levels.

The Editors’ Pick Badge (Editor gevana in Dhivehi) is awarded by editors for outstanding comments from Haveeru Online users. Comments that strictly comply with Comments Guidelines, and are objective, fair and informative have higher chance of attracting the Editors’ Pick Badge.

Haveeru Online users can give two User Badges – Fakka and Salhi – to comments made by other users of Haveeru Online.

Every day you will get two User Badges to give away. This means you can only give a Fakka Badge and Salhi Badge, each, twice a day.

We will be introducing more Badges that will be more challenging to unlock.

At present we do not reward users financially or give away gifts for unlocking or getting Badges. However, in the future with more challenging Badges and user participation in through MyHaveeru we would be rolling out rewards.
