Unsung FIRST Heroes get a badge, WFA winners get a badge. I can't win either, so I don't have either badge on my profile or posts. By your logic, those should be taken away too, right?
I think a small recognition of some form like a dot, button, donor banner, or smiley of some kind would be cool. It would stir interest, like -

Curious CD member: How did you get your dot on your profile or why do you have a dot and I'm missing one?

Donating CD member: Well, because I help support ChiefDelphi and you can, too.

Nice idea, David.
