What are the badges and what do they mean?

Stitch badges are the colored boxes displayed to the right of a person’s profile picture within Stitch. They will typically look like this:

All badges indicate what and how much a member has positively contributed to the community.

Full Member Status Badges

Full members who positively contribute to the community receive Stitch Membership Points, which in turn helps them unlock higher Status levels on Stitch. These levels are distinguishable by Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond badges respectively.

Members with higher status levels stand out as people who frequently help others, and are often a good indicator of trustworthiness. They also earn additional privileges on Stitch, including access to additional features, rewards, discounted memberships, and more.

You can learn more about status levels and the Stitch Rewards program here.

Any member with a Full member status badge on their profile has been verified.

Verified Limited Member Badge

Limited members are those who have not yet opted to become a Full member of the community. Limited members can attend Public events and activities, join Public Stitch interest groups, and participate in Public discussions, but are limited from accessing the majority of the activities in the Stitch Community, which are reserved for Full members and supporters only.

Limited members cannot earn Status badges. They do, however, receive a Verified badge when they verify their account. The verification badge is a green tick as shown above.

This means that all verified members on Stitch will either display one of the Full member status badges or the green Verified Limited member badge. Any member who does not have one of these badges on their profile is unverified.

New Member Badge

Both Limited and Full members will show a New Member badge for the first 30 days after completing their profile, and/or getting verified. The New Member badge appears next to any status or verification badges, and is shown above.

Community Champion

The Community Champion badge is awarded to any member who has successfully held three Stitch events. Community Champions are trusted members of the community who in most cases are able to publish events and activities without needing review by the Stitch team.

Years of Membership

Full Members who have been with the community for more than 1 year will receive a blue badge indicating how many consecutive years they have supported Stitch. A member will lose this badge if they no longer support the community via a membership plan.

Number of Connections

Indicates the number of connections the member has in their Stitch Network, up to a maximum of 500 connections. If the member has greater than 500 connections, the badge will say "500+".

Premium Member

The Premium Member badge indicates a member who has supported Stitch by choosing a higher-level membership plan, either the Standard or Plus plan.

Stitch Team Members

Members of the Stitch team will be shown with the Stitch badge. Please say hello!


Promoted Accounts

Promoted accounts belong to members who have upgraded their membership to a Stitch Pro account. Pro accounts are an old account type used to participate in the community for promotional, commercial, or semi-commercial purposes. Stitch no longer allows the creation of new Pro accounts, as the Pro capabilities have been deprecated.

Partner Accounts

Partners of Stitch have limited access to the community in order to create events and activities that may be of interest to Stitch members. They are only able to attend activities and join groups that they organize themselves.
