but IMO for some people it could be an easy way to dismiss the opinions of those who have not paid to support the forums.Because a badge is a clear indicator of helpfulness? Aren't you doing exactly that what you described in the previous paragraph? I.e. dismiss posts by those who don't have the proper badge.I do however think what someone suggested earlier about badges (with a whole system for all sorts of Pandora related support like application development) would be the best way to implement this system and would be a great way to judge the quality of advice given out on the boards.
People really like blinky's coin better than Muggie's? blinky's idea for forum icons is great, and the rest of those icons look good, but his coin doesn't even look like a coin. Do people seriously prefer that over Muggie's? Muggie's coin looks damn good and should be used. The heart looks great, too. Maybe make it optional for people who donate.
It's not going to completely divide the community, but IMO for some people it could be an easy way to dismiss the opinions of those who have not paid to support the forums.

It's hosted on the server that the forums are on. It's uploaded as an attachment to the forums. They should be visible if you can use the forums. Are you sure you're not forgetting to click the link next to the attachment icon? It only shows up in the post for on his original post. It doesn't show up in quoted posts unless you click the link.I prefer Muggie's.

Looks nice! What did you use to make it?Somehow, I felt inspired to make a Coin...
Imagine this in 20x20 Pixel of course. ^^
