Default What does the new badge on my posts mean?

What do the new badges mean? Is this a reward for loyalty scheme?

It means that he's been around for a long time and has been an active, positive contributer during that time. FYI, clicking on an award gives you the description of said badge.

Ahh, the ye old lighthouse badge

that's the easist one to explain ...

it means that you are all wise and knowing
showing the way for many that would other wise
be lost and dash themselves against the shoals
if not for your wisdom and courage to post kind
remarks to all comers new and old.

Also notice that it is worth zero points on purchasing
anything in the ships store

Plus you should cash in your retirement bonds and post the money to Subsim

In your case it means you're an old fart who doesn't know when to shut up.
Note that I don't have one...yet.

Then it would be like renown. You could spend it, but then you wouldn't have it anymore.
