- Thanks / Post ratio is easy, obviously since we have that data already in the grid. But this badge may not be a good idea because it could discourage people to post if they are not posting in main forums. Plus, the number of posts and thanks is already in other badges, so I'm not really keen on just badging a ratio between the two.
- Tracking consecutive days with forum activity may require a new DB field or a localStorage JS var in the users browser. I am guessing it is best to to this in PHP and create some new PHP logic on the DB side.
- Tracking monthly thanks may is easy... see next post for example query:
