Badges

Hi there,

so you might have noticed we implemented badges a while ago. What do you think about this idea:

1. Do you look at it when somebody posts a forum comment?
2. Do you feel they add value?
3. Which ones do you want to see in the future?

Looking forward to your comments!

I'll be more serious. I really don't care, in fact they triggered some inane posts by a few members I refuse to identify....(Mostly by me, of course).
A curious example...I made two nonsensical posts in the Canon forum a few days ago, and I've got a "Canon Guru" badge. :whistle:
If you continue, there should be a "most useless posts" badge as well, for which I should be in the running for.....;)

It's OK, I don't mind.......
For some reason it reminds me of the habit they used to have in the communist block: Medals, medals, medals........ :woohoo:

Festina lente!

Been thinking about it...
The idea is not too bad, depending on what the badges are for....
"Perfect attendance"; Suppose I can not, for some reason, log in for a couple of days - then I suppose the badge will be gone....
Badges that give hints on activity level in certain areas could be very useful......

I don't really pay much attention to them unless someone has a lot of them - like Effron! lol I don't know what many of them even mean or how you get them, but I do have to wonder what he's the King of!

"most useless post" Shall we rephrase this to something like: "King of useless posts" e.g. when you post a lot in the lounge?
