Badges: Who thought they were a good idea, and where do you go to earn some of them?

[simi11]

Niles dipped a Marmite Bikky Stik into a tub of his favorite eucalyptus pesto as he scribbled out and re-wrote and circled items on a notepad.

Gosh, what are you writing I think you should write some sort of short story… you have a vivid imagination and a creative hand . Btw, is that your handwriting in the pic? I couldn’t read half of it, lol

This pic could relate to other writers on Viki or subtitlers, lol

you should write some sort of short story

This is exactly what we’re trying to do over at the “Viki Original” thread. But we haven’t got very far, what with everyone adding new animals to the general chaos of Badgers’ Production Office! We have a koala and a few other animals I’ve lost track of.

I have tried writing short stories. They’re okay, but poetry is my “thing.” The picture of handwritten notes is actually from the website of Oliver Sacks, the famous psychiatrist. I thought it was appropriate for a brief discussion about the creepy AI function that gets so much wrong and makes life hysterical for Viki users at the same time because of how it’s programmed.

And now that Niles the koala has briefly and definitively confirmed that the characters Miss Willow and OSPD-nim both have creative, out-on-the-edge personalities because of a common ancestor . . . perhaps over at Badger Productions things will begin to go a bit less in weird directions and a bit more in creative ones.

[loveurself_melanin]

I was just saying I don’t know why you didn’t receive a badge…

[leerla73]

Oh! Yea, unless I’m misunderstanding the “how to” go about getting the email badge. So far, it seems no one has snagged it, at least, not yet!

Badges: Who thought they were a good idea, and where do you go to earn some of them?

So, the first time I got a cheery notice that I had earned a Viki badge, my brain did a Scooby Doo. “Ork?” I just, in fact, got a “Thank You” badge a couple of days ago. So, my question at the moment is . . . who thought badges should be a “thing” for people participating in discussions, who came up with them, who programmed the Viki system to award them, and what purpose are they supposed to serve? I did screen caps of all the badges because I find it so fascinating that they exist. I am i…
