Badge Discussion: Like Ratios + Spending Likes

My recommendation for badges:

Admired

I am very worried about “Admired” cause I am not sure it encourages desired behavior.

Take a step back, what behavior is it encouraging?

  • If I am at ratio 0.74 and want to get to 0.75

    • Should I go to my “back catalog” and start editing so stuff is bumped and gets more likes?

    • Should I stop “posting” so “back catalog” accrues likes

    • Should I adjust my style of posting so I only post stuff that is likely to get liked (WARNING: kitty images)

Honestly, I can not think of any behavior that is good that “admired” encourages, I think we should drop that badge.

Gives back

This is a good badge, it encourages hitting the “like” button, which in turn fosters community.

Bronze: “Thank You”

  • Min 6 liked posts, ratio 50%

Silver:

  • Min 100 liked posts, ratio 100%

Gold: “Lover”

  • Min 500 posts, ratio 200% (eg: you got to like 2 posts for every like you get)

Platinum: :zogstrip: @zogstrip

  • Min 2000 liked posts, Ratio 100000%

Generous

BronzeOut of Love

  • Ran out of likes once

Silver

  • Ran out of likes 5 times

Gold

  • Ran out of likes in 20 times

Note the idea behind Gold is that it is very hard to get, we need to be very careful to devalue gold badges.
