will never forgive myself for not having a TSR whale hello badge lol

it was not until several months after i initially joined TSR that i realised there was such a thing as the whale hello badge (which, for those who don't know, is the badge you receive if you post in the first hour of your TSR membership). i know it's only a trivial concern but knowing that one of my badges will remain permanently unattained (and seeing it in all black and grey in the badges section) irks me somewhat. am i just being petty or is this somewhat of a valid complaint? idk guys i'm just ranting here. please let me know i'm not alone in feeling this way. i've never seen anyone else voice this 'concern' before so i just thought i'd put this out there but you know somebody has to say it at some point

You'll likely never get neg rep here either so tgats another TSR thing you're missing out on.

You are not alone.

wdym neg rep?

Ahhh to be young enough in your TSR usage, to not know what neg rep was!
Just like how you can upvote/positive rep a post, there used to be "neg(ative) rep"/downvote button. This would take away points from your overall rep. In turn, that could lead to you losing a "rep gem", if you weren't careful enough with your posts
The neg rep function was taken away many moons ago, amidst claims it was being used to bully users.
To answer your original question: I'm older than the badge system, which means I too also lost out on having a 'whale hello' badge. I can forgive myself, as it wasn't my fault, but it's also annoying that I was automatically ineligible for one

also i've never seen anyone with 22 badges (the maximum number you can get on TSR) so if you're that legend then please show yourself

I actually specifically downloaded the app to post something from there to get the one I was missing after reading this post

Same. I wish TSR would let me buy it lmao

👀 How much we talking?

I don't have a job
So a fiver...possibly...

I'd neg rep this if I could.
