[Suggestion] Can we have Achievements on NB?

[A$AP Wap]

some websites have Achievements (small badges) that you get notified for if you do certain things
for example,
- if u reach a certain rank you gain that rank as an Achievement
- if you post a thread and nobody posts for a few days, you could gain the "Lonely" Achievement
- if you get a hot thread for the first time, you can get the "Popular" Achievement
- if you get 5 hot threads you can get the "Hot" Achievement
- if you get 10 you get the "Famous" Achievement
- if you get a certain amount of likes, you can get the "Likable" Achievement
etc. etc.

and on some websites all Achievements have a set amount of points that you can get
they can show on your profile for people to see

i got this idea because lots of websites have an Achievement system, even PornHub has it

idk, maybe it'll make the website a bit more fun
mods and admins, whattya say? add achievements?​

OT: I feel like that would keep some people coming back. Everyone can be a completionist at times.

OT: I feel like people would just try to start flame wars/controversial threads for the sake of getting hot threads.

Self satisfaction is a good enough achievement, lol.

they do that now
if you have an achievement system, you could actually walk away from a Hot Thread you made with some sort of reward

What's the point of having achievements when you can get an actual achievement ( a award in a contest)

And most of these achievements everyone can get. It really isn't a achievement if everyone can get it easily.

that's kinda selfish because you have awards
what you said is basically "i won a contest and got an award so i dont want anyone else to get anything special [like an achievement] because i had to work for that"

not everybody can color, fill in the bubble, or wants to decorate their profile

the point is to make NB a bit better so having Achievements you can get would make the forum more interesting

you have Awards that show up in every one of your posts
if what im requesting goes into affect, you'd have to look at that person's profile to see their achievements

 

[RuckenTM]

it's because NB is getting boring and the threads are repetitive
most people only get on to see troll threads and Dr Doom come back and post porn, tbh

if we had an achievement system, there would actually be a reason to browse forms

If members were given an award based on their ability to browse/etc, they would start to browse only with ideology of "what to achieve next" at doing good somewhere-so, the competitiveness of a having a trophy has gone right out the window when all the achievements are easy to attain, all trying to solo the ace, the enemy. Members might/ would stop trying to to win and simply play to achieve, irreversibly damaging the community as a whole...

some members are Rank whores and always post in FG just to get their rank up
but that doesn't make the community a bad place, does it?

i just want Achievements to liven the place up a little bit

Says the user with 5 awards that only won because they are rigged.

lol...
she/he probably doesn't want anyone else to get the satisfaction of obtaining something similar to an award, maybe that's why they're against my proposal

I mean it will be much more frequent.

If people want a award they will work for it. I competed in potm so many times and it took me a long time to place. Was I selfishly begging for a award because I couldn't win? No I got better. I improved my skills and I was able to win. Achievements don't come easy. You have to earn them. I don't understand the concept of me saying achievements should be earned as selfish.

not everybody can color, fill in the bubble, or wants to decorate their profile

I don't see everybody participating in a contest either or wants to participate. I couldn't decorate a profile. Now I can, I couldn't color a manga page. Now I can. I couldn't fill up bubble. Now I can. If people really want to win an award time and effort have to be put into it. Not everyone can do a lot of things but key word you can learn.

the point is to make NB a bit better so having Achievements you can get would make the forum more interesting

Like what I stated previously all these achievements can be obtained easily. It really holds no title as an "achievement"

you have Awards that show up in every one of your posts
if what im requesting goes into affect, you'd have to look at that person's profile to see their achievements

Okay

Okay

yeah, so all you're saying is that u worked for an award [that always shows up on all of ur posts]
and u dont want people to gain Achievements, a lesser award, that are easier to get than awards [and only show up on people's profiles]

kinda selfish if u ask me

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

how?

Everyone will try to make hot threads for the sake of an achievement. They will go for the easiest way which is spamming, flaming, or reused topics. It will get irritating.

Also, Mysterious is right. If you want an award, do something to get one. Rather than ask for something easier and meaningless. You guys are basically asking for participation ribbons. Which in turn, would take away from the meaning of the awards we have now.

And this should mean something since I have no awards so you can't say what you said to Mysterious about her having multiple.

Trust me, if you work for one and one day, earn it. It will feel so much more rewarding.

So I don't want anybody to have a "achievement" but that's funny because that's false and I like people to win contests and awards.

What you're recommending isn't a achievement.

I can make so many spam threads and post spam (that people think is funny) and win these achievement easily. It has nothing to do with me going against people having achievements. It is what the quality and content the achievement's holds is what I am going against.

And most of these achievements everyone can get. It really isn't a achievement if everyone can get it easily.

But you see, Awards are a more serious thing than achievements. To get awards you actually have to have skill, and some people simply aren't adept in the things on this base to get an award from the contest. Some people, no matter how hard and much they try, could be beaten by people with natural talent for something. Not saying this is always the case, but it can happen. I feel the awards are unfair in that way, tbh.

Alternatively, if you have premium you have a shot to get awards, most of which are pure luck.

These on the other hand, would be a more fun thing which you get by being active on the forum, and it's fair for everyone to have a shot at getting things, no one is left out. It could also help in boosting activity of the base.

OT: I think this is a good idea, and should be at least contemplated. I assume it'd be a plug in feature, so the question would be; could it work with what's already a part of the site? Hopefully someone like Zise can comment on this thread and make it clear. A good fun suggestion to help the base, though, imo.

Everyone knows those contests are rigged. The only fair one is FUB really. The same ppl win the same things over and over

Ppl have their lil chat groups outside NB and tell ppl "hey go vote for me". Ya'll really think ppl dont do that?

Take fanfiction for example, it doesnt matter how good a writer you are or how good your story is, the same ppl win it over and over just because they're known in that community

OT: if you do the achievement thing, just have it as a page on their profile or something, not in the award section under their avatar

 

[Mahesvara]

I guess it would be nice, especially for people who don't do contests(like me).

 

[Zealous Sparks]

I think it's a good idea actually. I know that when playing PS or XBox, I used to put in a great deal of effort into getting achievements/trophies on different games, some of which took hours to obtain (LASO, for example). It could be something as simple as a random selection like some Premium awards, or obtaining a certain amount of rep/posts.

While getting awards from a contest is one thing, not really a wide variety of people tend to participate in those contests. In the latest FUB, there were only 5 entries and 12 votes. Also, a number of people, including myself, don't have the artistic talent to participate in any of the art-based contests. Achievements would be a way to get all members of the forum involved, not just a few.

 

[Urda]

Sounds fun.

I never said I was against the idea of achievements. I said these achievements aren't achievements.


-

if you post a thread and nobody posts for a few days, you could gain the "Lonely" Achievement

Bumping dead threads

- if you get a hot thread for the first time, you can get the "Popular" Achievement

And anyone can get a hot thread. By posting spam material

- if you get 5 hot threads you can get the "Hot" Achievement

If you post 5 hot threads that were good . Posting threads on overused topics or spam shouldn't be awarded a achievement

- if you get causesspamget the "Famous" Achievement

The staff don't award negatives

If you get a certain amount of likes, you can get the "Likable" Achievement

This one is decent

There isn't really a better term to describe what op is talking about, especially since "awards" are already taken. :| Unless you have a better one? Besides, how would moving up in ranks not be considered an achievement? A certain amount of rep points, etc? ^^ Provided that this system was implemented, of course.
