Hero badges

Bragging rights
for fixing your street.

Six badges. Earn them by showing up, calling stuff out, and getting things actually fixed. They show on your profile, on every report you file, and they unlock real things — not cosmetic glitter.

What you actually get

It's not just a sticker on your profile.

Trust on every report

Earned badges show next to your name on every report you file. Council reps and other reporters can see at a glance you're not a drive-by spammer.

Your votes carry more weight

Reports upvoted by badged users climb the trending feed faster. The community trusts your call-outs.

Skip-the-queue auto-publish

Once you earn a few badges, your reports auto-publish without manual moderation. No more 'queued for review' for the same person every week.

Path to moderator + contractor roles

Hero badges are the first step on the trust ladder. Sustained activity opens up volunteer moderator + verified-contractor application slots.

Early access to new features

Beta features ship to badged users first. We trust the people who actually use the app to tell us when something's broken.

The bragging rights themselves

Real public reputation in your hood. Your profile becomes a track record of what you've done — and what got fixed because of you.

How leveling actually works

  • Badges are awarded automatically. No application, no approval queue. The system tracks your activity and the badge appears the moment you cross the threshold.
  • Each badge gives XP. XP fills your level meter. Higher levels unlock the trust benefits above.
  • No badge is permanent gatekeeping. Lose your streak? You can earn it again. Got banned for spam? You can lose them. The system trusts the community, not the resume.
  • Privacy stays yours. Badges show on your public profile — which is the display name + handle you chose. Your real name and email never appear on a badge.

Be the reason something got fixed.

One report. One badge. Your name on the receipts. Free, anonymous-if-you-want, owned by the community.
