Advanced User Badge System is a secure and flexible badge management plugin for Sngine – The Ultimate PHP Social Network Platform.

It allows admins to create, manage, and assign custom badges to users, helping you build trust, credibility, and engagement across your community.

Badges are displayed next to usernames on profiles, posts, and comments, making user roles, verification status, and achievements instantly visible.
