Are too active badges a bad Idea?

[philipma1957]

Let's not also ignore the fact that there are different kind of posters on the forum. Some post to meet up with either a personal target or probably that of a signature campaign, some post only when they find an interesting topic or have an interesting discussion to share.
For now I don't think badges are yet a big deal on the forum so it's a little like no one really cares.

Honestly, there are different types of posters in the forum as you said;
Some posts to meet up campaign quota;
Some post when they see interesting topics to discuss;
Some posts when they have topic to share.
Some are just using here like a normal forum.
I honestly do not know about the badges and how many I got. It is after reading this post that I went to my profile to check the badges I earned. Some, I don't even know how I earned them. I refuse to believe that someone can just make 50 posts in a day in order to get a badge.

why do you refuse to believe it?
I would only do 50 to get the badge.

This week I have over 20 posts . So I qualified for my signature payout prior to today.

If I work hard today I would get 50 and there would be two reasons one to get the fifty badge and two would be to show you it is possible even if there is no money or reward for the fifty posts.

I don't think badges for 25 or 50 posts in a day are a bad idea. If we stop to think about it, we only need common sense to know that these two badges are positive, since a spammer would have other very different types of badges and probably negative Karma. I don't think it's difficult to understand the difference between good and bad badges, we just have to think a little to recognize the differences.

I would like to have all badges. I would like those badges.

BUt that is nearly impossible to obtain by  me. I can barely make 30 posts per week, image 30 per day!!
This would mean incredible dedication to the forum.

On the other hand, a spammer can make that 25 posts in  a day in just 25 minutes lol

I don't think anyone actually looks at these badges so we are good because the last time I myself checked on my badges before today was several weeks ago.

In 4-6 hours you could totally do 30 posts in a day. But I guess we are closing in on the upper limit of people's keystrokes and cognitive reading.

The most posts I have ever seen someone do in a day is around 125, and on the other forum not here (I cannot find the stats page for this forum).

On the other hand, a spammer can make that 25 posts in  a day in just 25 minutes lol

Or even in just 1 minute: Just get some lorem ipsum text and create a script that sends all the posts at the same time.

When I just came here I was very interested in so many topics and was reading and answering mostly daylong for several days and I've got both these badges (25 a day and 50 a day) on the second day here. But even those days I didn't get a Spammer 100 Posts in one day badge.



As for now, I can write a lot some days so, if I hadn't 25 a day before, it is possible that I'd probably got the one later as well, but 50 posts a day... I don't think the situation when I answer so many topics will repeat.

So 50 posts a day (24 consecutive hours) is achieved hard and 100/250 posts a day is hardly achieved. If you are not a fan of low quality posting...

Tbh, I'm not fan of burst posting rules, as long as you have something genuinely to say, you say it, I don't care how many posts at the end of the day turn out and unknowingly you earn badges for it.

We don't have burst posting rules in general: if all the posts are good, I don't see the reason of taking any actions as a moderator just because the user left too many posts in a short period of time. But it is a mark to check his posts for AI, plagiarism and other things like that more carefully. If everything is okay, I can even give +karma for good posts. But this happens rarely. More often when we see too many posts in a short period of time there are some other problems as well and the low quality is usually not the worst thing can be found.

Correct. The difference is that the spammer will ruin his account with warnings, negative karma, and post deletions, while the person who can put in the most time, even just a few days, will get those badges as a reward. It is not difficult to write a "high" amount of quality posts in the native language, but we do not always have the necessary time. I don't have them all either, but it's something that doesn't worry me, maybe later I'll get some new ones, who knows.

You are right. A spammer will definitely draw negative attention and the fact is that it would only be a matter of time before people notice the errors in their posts as either low quality, AI generated or even plagiarism. Sometimes this post of a thing also depends on the user too. Some users prefer to write longer explanations about a particular discussion or topic. However on the other hand some users prefer to summarise their posts as much as possible while still maintaining their quality.
So in such case I believe that a user that makes short and summarised write ups  more would easily get to the 50 or 100 badge but sincerely a hundred posts a day is soo much ill say.

Usually, there are some members who are chasing rank increases, but really, making more than 30 posts per day, I have no idea, but it might make me nauseous, especially with various activities that are quite busy in real life, it seems that for me personally at this time, it will not be possible. 

But what needs to be underlined is how the content of the posts is, and the distance between posts, sometimes less than 2 minutes in a row more than 5 posts? Well, I don't know how to think about that, between cool or what .......

[robelneo]

Since he manna could have defending himself by claiming I just wanted to earn the badges.

Am I making any sense here?  I voted maybe as I believe trying to win the badges is okay as long as the posts are good.

I also voted as long as the posts are good, if we are trying to earn that badges, it should not be at the cost of spamming the forum with useless posts, We should understand that there are members who have enough time and just want to share their thoughts on many subjects, to the point that they are not thinking about how many posts they did.
50 can be good as long as the majority of the posts are good.

You would need to have mad keyboarding skills, a stable internet connection, and in this case an interest in posting on several old, rehashed topics to even get close to 100. I'm guessing that is something achievable in one day, from my experience, but 250 posts sounds like something only the fastest AI posters could manage to do (i.e. spammers).

To hit this the person will have to be making post for about every 6 minutes interval and that’s just insane. They would just dedicate that whole day to their computer screen and keep scrolling from ont thread to another and from one board to another looking for where to drop their post and they’ll have to do it at insane speed if they want to minimize the amount of off topic posts they’d make since they’ll have to go through few posts in that thread before replying.

Unless they plan on making just a single word post or a one liner post I don’t think anyone here will be able to hit this.

100 posts in one day seems crazy to me, 250 seems to forget that we are alive and that we can do many more things in life than spend it glued to a screen writing. The quality of those 250 posts would be minimal or directly L.Q.P., and our brain, eyes and back would suffer from spending so many hours doing the same thing. With all the text it would take to make 250 posts of acceptable quality, people could learn to program with Python at a basic level in a few weeks.

Well, I guess it's highly possible to make 50 good quality posts a day but for that day someone has to close himself or herself in a room and avoid any distractions at all. Those who wanted to earn such badges may make around 4-5 posts per hour easily and those won't be shit posts or low quality posts if someone is enough knowledgeable about the topic subject. That can only happen when someone does his/her best to remain calm in a room and does nothing else that day other than forum posting.
