@vivi_1485 I don’t think I see it anywhere. It didn’t seem like anything changed with the membership upgrade lol

It’s just that you can’t see, regulars have some extra access, that other trust level users doesn’t have.
I don’t think, I should just put up everything publicly, but I know some of them.

ರ╭╮ರ There were quite a few Viki site, and mobile updates in 2021, many fans were unable to remain logged in, on the discussion threads. ತ_ತ Is this held against the count towards the devotee annual badge?

Not necessarily. The anniversary badge only needs 1 post in the entire year, a very low bar, whereas the devotee requires 365 consecutive days visits. As you mentioned in your previous post, are Discussions outages held against people who couldn’t log in to register that they had visited consecutively up until then (most probably).

I’ve noticed I’ve lost Regular status and reverted to Member status myself. Probably didn’t do some of the 25% activity within 100 days requirements since I fell down the YouTube and social media Dopamine inducing rabbit hole and my attention span has dropped dramatically, heck, even 15 min YT vids are too long much less 16+ hour dramas! :expressionless::hourglass_flowing_sand::stopwatch:

So, we learn once again that Viki’s @discobot algorithm does not have a sense of irony, humor, or sarcasm. I noted that quite a number of the volunteer community got the same badge for the same topic: Should viki’s paid subbers be overwriting volunteers.

The volunteer community may be moving a conversation or discussion forward, but what will the result be in terms of Viki supporting and trusting the community it claims to cherish?

With all the typos and the inability for me to tell if the Traveler Academy is about travel, about virtual travel, or about life coaching, it makes me think the Korean paid subber (KPS) who keeps overwriting volunteer subs has a side job to pay for treating his/her office mates to grilled pork belly and soju.

I’m not supposed to be drinking any alcohol because it can cause atrial fibrillation, but if the KPS wanted to treat me to pork belly and a bottle of sweet potato soju, I would have no problem accepting it.

@vivi_1485 . . . Enthusiasm, a delightful sense of humor, and a willingness to let others worship at the Altar of Dimples without any kimchi slapping . . . these are just three reasons Viki certainly cannot do without you. Kind of a puny badge, tho.

This is my idea of an anniversary badge. Served in a box . . .
