Count User Comments

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/image next to their name. Example below:
Example!

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!
