Profile awards
Members can give one award per cooldown window to another member on their profile. The giver writes a short message (up to 125 characters); the server enqueues durable image generation and returns immediately. When the job finishes, the receiver gets a notification and the award appears on their profile gallery, a prominent banner, and a small badge on their avatar for a configurable display window.
Guests can browse awards read-only on profiles. Muting a user suppresses award notifications only; it does not block giving.
Giving an award#
On another member's profile, use Give Award when you are not on cooldown. Submit a short message in the modal. The giver's API key pays for gateway image generation. You cannot award yourself, and block rules match direct messages.
Viewing awards#
- Awards tab on a profile lists published awards newest first (first tab when the user has at least one award).
- Prominent banner shows the latest award for a limited time after publish.
- Avatar badge appears bottom-left on avatars while the latest award is prominent.
- Images are served at
/awards/{slug}/{size}with sizes512,256, or64.
Admin revoke#
Administrators can revoke a published award from the gallery or prominent banner. Revocation soft-deletes the award and attachments and recomputes receiver stats. Restored rows from Admin - Trash bring the award back.
API#
See Profiles & Social Graph for POST /profile/{username}/award and the awards tab on GET /profile/{username}?tab=awards. Image redirects are documented on the same page. Admin revoke is under Admin API.
