Badges are live.... beta rollout!

I honestly don't know why I am still a 'hero level 1'. How is that possible on a purely statistical basis, as a member of the ten-gem master race?

Do explain

Member is another word for penis, TSR is saying you have a small willy.

13 months later, struggling to get past level 1 hero badge. Not that I'm complaining, it makes it more of a challenge

I have the Level 2 but i doubt I ll ever get the Level 3 badge.

What is the highest level for every single badge anyway? Can someone tell me that?

I only ended up with Hero 3 by moving hundreds and hundreds of Study Help threads around

Level 3 is the highest...

I think there's probably a fault with the system - considering how rare the L2/3 Hero badges are, I'd imagine that it's not exactly as detailed on the info page...

Could something that requires less development time be done to address some of the problems which badges were supposed to alleviate? I thought badges were originally intended to reward people for positive contributions to the site, especially in forums where rep is rarely given (universities, careers, study help).

@Roving Fish I assume you didn't see this? Shameless re-post.

You're right, I didn't see it - sorry! My quotes have been a bit mental as a few of us were drafted down to TSR Towers for an SL workshop day thing.

In terms of your suggestion for badges, it would be a good thing to look in to - should this development be picked up again. I would probably lean towards this not being picked up any time soon - there are projects that are really going to change how you use TSR being launched this year, which are really exciting and take priority over smaller stuff like this.

I'm not making a suggestion about badges. I didn't like badges and it doesn't surprise me that the CT have put the project on hold. But they were (apparently) meant to solve the issue of helpfulness going unrecognised - they haven't, that issue is still there - so I'm asking is there anything else that can be done to solve that issue, something which would take less development time?

Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head! A lot of people are happy doing what they're doing without any recognition.
