Thread:Talk:Flow/Badges, barnstars...

There is a mention to "Banner messages/pinned messages" in the page, but can you elaborate further? This feature is interesting in the context of badges, barnstars and reflections of other merits acquired by the user over time e.g. the planned MediaWiki reps. Can Flow accommodate this? The ideal requirements would be:


 * Notification sent by an identified bot or user with special permissions (e.g. User:BarnstarGiver).
 * Non-editable, non-commentable notification pinned in a specific area of the Talk page.
 * Only the publisher or the own user can remove it.

The size of those badges could be significant smaller than many barnstars these days. A small banner or even an icon with a link to the page with more info could be enough.
