 * Hi,
 * Is there anyway to count the amount of comments posted by a user and then display
   an image next to their name once they have reached a set amount of comments. 
   For instance once a registered user has reached 5 posts it displays a badge next
   to their name. Example below:
    [Example!](http://b.dznz.org/comments)
 * I have a fairly vague idea on how to do this, however unfortunately, it doesn’t
   work as I am unsure what the parameter (?) would be for this.
 * My ‘rough’ code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( unknownCode(1) > 5 ) : ?>
       			<img src="images/image.php" />
       			<?php else: ?>
       			<?php author_comment_count(); ?>
       			<?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I’m the biggest PHP noob going. Any help would be great, thanks!
