Badges that encourage spamming the forum..

[examplens]

Badges are achievements.  Basically rewards.
I don't think adding a badge for this is appropriate, semantically.

Maybe the user could have a red dot under his username or something like that with an ALT text written "25 posts per day"

I agree here, spam should not be encouraged in any way, even if it was just an additional badge next to the username.

However, for example in this case, it turned out to be useful, the user received a warning and seems to have slightly adjusted his participation in the forum after that.

So, coming up with this thread, is not me making anything up, but based personally experience..
Is it really worth it keeping this two badges? Knowing fully well that it encourages spam?

HAHA, you are admitting by yourself that you spammed on this forum. Well I do know you are not a spammer, and I would like to add that at the current moment we can really make 25 posts a day, but it's a little hard if compared with BTC. Because the number of topics created there in few boards is more than the overall board here (locals excluded) But still if you don't reply on every post and save them for one day. For example, if I want to achieve this badge I would not reply to the threads and will wait for a day when I will start to reply all of them one by one and eventually my target will easily be achieved.

But still I don't think we should call it spamming badges or promoting spam, because as I said we can literally achehive them without making spam posts, we only have to make a strategy to make posts, like creating topics, and then replying to them, or giving replies on all the thread in one day after waiting for 5 to 7 days.

Well, it's not necessary a spam badge whatsoever, and neither did i say that the badge is promoting spam, I said it encourages spam, promoting and encouraging are two different words with exactly two different meanings.

But all the same, you are still right, with the right strategy, it's actually quite easy to earn this badges, but then, the chances of not spamming is very little, because from my personal experience, one doesn't read and type all day without  getting tired 😴, while chasing after earning this badge, you sure will get to the point where you suffer fatigue, complete tiredness which often can lead to lack of concentration and proper comprehension while reading, at this point, you should know that it's impossible to engage in a discussion on a thread with out going off topic, or without making just one or two line posts, which if done repeatedly, is what most consider as spam.

Hi ladies and gents..

Talking about forum spamming and all that, which I believe is something we all, or most of us frown to, I came across this thread in my local board, which while replying to a comment there, reminded me of a badge I won sometime in 2020, and that also reminded me how I had to spam the forum that day, to win that badge 😂, here is the badge below..


And here is even another I've not yet won, and may never win, since I can't win this without spamming the forum again 😩


So, there are no rewards whatsoever, that comes with owning any of this badges, but still, newbies (having nothing important to do with their time and looking for how to keep themselves busy) may decide to chase after owning one or both of this badges, and they are
First screenshot - Too Active - 25 posts in one day
Second screenshot - Super active - 50 posts in one day

And this process, they end up spamming the entire forum with irrelevant stuffs, back in September 2020, on one boring Wednesday, I was a newbie then(before teleporting), I discovered the "too active" badge requiring 25 posts in one day, I decided to chase and earn it, I made alot of rubbish posts on the forum and on different boards that day (won't lie), I earned it in the end, but not without spamming the forum.

If anyone try to continue real post i think thats are not problem. When That's post will non quality then it will be consider as spamming. Otherwise without proper reason we couldn’t tell as spamming. And i could not think this badges will encourage us to spamming.
