Badges

Userbars for your profile and under your posts. Most of them you earn by posting, starting threads and getting ink. A few get handed out by staff, and no, you cannot farm those.

Undesirable

The ones nobody wants. Put on by an admin for the thing they are named after, worn on every post ahead of anything you chose, and they do not come off unless an admin takes them off. Catfish and Stained the software puts on by itself.

STAINEDSTAINEDSTAINED
Reputation fell to the bottom tier, or the account was caught being a second one. Comes off when an admin lifts the stain, and not before.
