## **Badges**

Support Team and Contributor [badges](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/contributing-to-the-wordpress-forums/volunteering-in-the-forums/)

We’ll be revisiting the idea of a more obvious marker or color for mods/admins on
the forum itself after the move to bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built
on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. [https://bbpress.org](https://bbpress.org)
