Ability to HIDE or DELETE your badges (or convert them into gems)

[vboechat]

It's all about cleaning your profile. Sometimes you craft a badge that looks ugly on your profile, sometimes you craft a badge of a dumb game, sometimes you craft a badge and simply want to get rid of it times later, sometimes you collect badges and don't want to show it - you're a private collector. You are able to craft badges freely, BUT you can't undo it, not even deleting and loosing de exp. It's like a permanent karma or stain.

Steam should let us to control our profiles better. We should be able to hide or delete the badges we don't want anymore, or even converting them into gems (small compensation). Maybe you don't want to make your whole profile private, you just want to make it simple and clean.

After deletion, may Steam remove the experience earned from crafting as well. There is clearly no chance of abuse.

You may ask: why the hell you crafted the badge, in first place? Well, nowadays Steam allow us to permanently remove games from our accounts - and someone asked the same question for that matter when Steam didn't allow you to remove games (why the hell you bought the game, anyway?). Its the same logic, Steam recognizes WE CAN REGRET THINGS - they even refund you if you dislike the game. That logic should be applied to badges.

Also, we should be able to hide our level - there are several reasons for that, use your imagination (maybe you don't wan't to show you super high level and look addicted).

It won't hurt anybody!

Could be.. but if you look at Live with excellent servers, one platform launcher for them all (EA, Ubisoft, Mic, Blizzard...), ability to play with mouse and keyboard in near future, ability to change you username, increasing digital market, more than capable scorpio arriving with 2000 games library, promising and rich division, pc games such as Path of Exile and PUBG coming soon, vivid online community. Ehrm I wouldnt be so sure.. Most people (like me) are not pixel counters. Yes i think Scorpio will draw attention from Steamers. You're free to disagree because ofc you're a Steam player, but these are relevant matters.

>exellent servers

Steam has that.

>one platform launcher

I only play games that are on Steam.

>ability to change your name

Bugger off.

>increasing digital market

Same with Steam.

>scorpio

I coupld upgrade my pc for the same as it costs, but there is no need for me to do that.

>pc games such as:
>early access crap that got popular because of youtubers/streamers

No thank you.

>vivid online community

Same.

I would really like to choose which 4 badges are displayed on my profile... Not just the featured one. (currently it displays the 4 most recent)

I would also like to keep the lower level badges since some are very cool looking... We payed for it after all...

Both these features should affect steam in no way what so ever so please bring those features STEAM

yeah, encountered this situation few times: cool looking level 1/2/3/4 badge stop me from crafting level 5 badge, it shouldn't be like that.
If I like game I should be able to show appreciation by crafting 5 level badge without any reason to stop me.

I like this idea too

votes for more badge control options

[Nexilein]

The ideas here are pretty great. My two cents:
* Deleting badges we don't want anymore. Best would be to confirm the action like market activities. So nobody can accidently delete a badge they wanted to keep.
* When deleting a badge you could get the amount of gems the badge is worth in return.
* I don't see a problem if the XP would get reduced since nobody would want to get a lvl zero profile again. So trading would probably not be affected at all.

I also like Ninja's ideas:
* Choosing which 4 badges are displayed, changing "Recent badges" to kind of a mini showcase.
* Choosing which level of a badge is displayed.

I too crafted badges just because they were cheap. Please, Valve, let us undo our mistakes. :(

You can choose what badges are displayed on your profile, so I don't see that being an issue.

Not that I care about hiding/deleting my badges, but this is wrong information.

You can only choose ONE badge to be displayed/featured. The other 4 badges that are in that "seperate badge area that people have to actively click on" CANNOT be modified in the same way as the displayed/featured badge.

I get that its extra work to do these kind of frivolous features, but don't throw a smoke bomb.

i support the idea of deleting badges - bump!

[^5Air^3Grue]

+1. Get rid of those automatic ones - like year of service, community and what else is there.

[Ninja]

+1, Bump yes....

But if only we could choose the badges shown instead of "latest badges¨ which comes by defaul.

And also still give access to the lower level badges.. which some look much better that the higher ones.... Then I would be more than happy!

There would be no need to delete any badges and would not affect the way steam level works at all. It´s a win win situation.

Please let us choose intead of displaying the latest badges and give us access to the lower ones we have payed for after all.

Big love Steam

wow now i have a problem as well i hate my badge now that i look at them lol never even crossed my mind befor i say we stage a coup de gra

[Loeher]

As someone who wants craft new badges of games I liked recently but doesn't want level up, I agree with this.

[Hackbraten]

+1 I want to hide/delete my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ badges that I used for getting levels :-(

Didn't vote with the alt-account this year because it would have messed up a perfectly good marketing deployment. All things considered, would like to delete the fact it voted last year.

Think the community stuff should be choice, and the core (like years) stick around in a new panel.

The ability to forfeit a badge should come with forfeiting the experience.

If it ever became possible, it could VASTLY increase the value of cards - at least during the "reset". People will be ... "rebuilding" their profiles.

All things considered I don't care... planned for a strict system like this, no issues so far. But the aesthetic prevents me from caring about... a huge chunk of the system, leveling. "Looks" grab "Likes" and "Sales" - not "XP" tyvm. It time to merge the system with the rest of modern social media.
