That is why my stance should not be confused. If I just wanted to collect badges(and be the best there ever was), I would participate in Ack's tournament, would approve the voting contest thing since I'd have one from there too and post count would be in my favour as well.
No, that is not my point.
I have over 10 years of experience with forum administration, so I take these matters with a rather pragrmatic look. Either way the decision isn't mine, but I like to give my suggestions since I'm a steady occupier of these halls.
And my post count is actually 28178!
Badges!

Badges!
Seha - 28178
Valefor.Sehachan - 14799 Phoenix.Sehachan - 13219 Valefor.Rawry - 58 Total post count = 56,254 It was a joke, anyway. Your non-server user lists your total postcount. So posts under Seha are actually my global count.

Seha said: » Meanwhile I will take this opportunity to encourage people to write some new crafting guides. The ones on wikia are ancient and most synths are far from the most convenient for your money/time. I dunno about others, but personally I'd love to have some new craft guides around. I would do one, but i think the way i craft might not appeal to some people. I normally do the synth that has the most materials atm without regard for taking a loss.

I like the idea of badges but it has the potential of (lack of words) mission creep. You're going to award those who make guides, contests winners/organizers, possible art contributors. Are you going to include those who donate, ones who post news/updates of different games and stuff constantly? What about the people who post heavily that keep threads active like drac and josi?
Cerberus.Tidis said: » Can we get a British badge? There doesn't seem to be that many of us left! I second this. If you just give badges to everyone who is simply active a lot there just is no point to have them to begin with. If people wanna show their activity postcount is right there visible.
Windower team, the guy who updates fb, they all already have vip status as stated before, so they already have their "recognition". Rooks did say he wants this to be not a giveaway thing. And I understand perfectly why. you're already a highly popular member of the forum with a good guide that's been sticky-ed~ do you need more recognition?

Read my post at the top of this page.
No, I don't..
Why can't I give suggestions too on what is proposed? I'm a member on a few other forums where badges are given.
None of those sites make a big deal out of the badges. It's not like winning the Nobels Peace Prize or anything like that. It's just something for fun, and everyone on the site has a few badges. I don't even know of any exclusive badges that only 1 person can have at a time. Stop trying to take something that should be just fun, and making it so seriously. Valefor.Sehachan said: » Bismarck.Misao said: » you donate because you want the site to live on, not because you want recognition and fame :v I mean, it's not like you're clubbing seals, it's just a thank you badge...hopefully... Could give badges based on people's time spent on the website (years since registered), post count milestones, actual specific in-game achievements etc. Lots of ideas to get from there.

Maybe there should be a badge for people that got banned.

Just give me a badge with an arrow pointing up, and the words "I'm with stupid".

As for the badge/no badge debate, I'm not really a fan of the concept. I think they're tacky, and highly facebook-esque. But if it happens and it makes others happy, so be it.
