Finesthour 7,289 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 This is more of a feedback than anything else. http://mlpforums.com/topic/10652-badges-how-many-posts-you-need-for-which-ones/ This thread desperatly needs to be pinned. We are getting the same threads every day (The "How many posts do I need" or "What is this strange thing under my avatar"), with the exact same responses. "Go to this thread." It is as annoying as the "how to get an avatar" thread that we used to get all the time. And I also have a question in here as well- Why isn't this thread pinned? It is a really helpful thread that helps users understand their badges much more, and stops thread spam. If this isn't gonna happen, just tell me so. I just think we need this to stop the spam! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy 5,565 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 Agreed. The badge thread has been up forever. I hate to sound like an oldfag, but the search function has been there forever. Use it. It works.

Dragonshy 2,305 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I completely agree. I see multiple threads pop up, at least 4-5 a week. You have my support Crona. Yeh Want to know how to get more page views? Click here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,289 July 17, 2012 Author Share July 17, 2012 (edited) Agreed. The badge thread has been up forever. I hate to sound like an oldfag, but the search function has been there forever. Use it. It works. I searched up a thread like this, and I found none. But also, like, no one uses it. Not because no one sees it, but because they are too lazy, and want an answer themselves.

Nightfall 3,950 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I just used the search bar earlier to find this exact thread. Whoa. Mind reader Crona coming through. But agreed, it needs to be pinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy 5,565 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 (edited) But also, like, no one uses it. Well, not yours specifically, but there is a thread that says what post count is what badge and such. I KNOW no one uses it. It hurts my heart a little. It's right there, but people are like "oh this idea is super original no one would have ever thought about talking about Pinkie Pie." and there's 349 threads about Pinkie Pie. Obvious exaggeration, but the point stands.

Simcity11100 773 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I agree, it needs to get pinned, even though the search function is there, new users won't use that as far as I know till they are told it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,883 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I've been saying this for weeks upon weeks upon weeks. Glad this is getting some notice. When I talked to Feld about it weeks ago he said that that thread is unofficial, and that is may or may not be missing some ranks that haven't been demonstrated yet to the public, and that at some point he'd be making an official ranks topic. Dunno when that's going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I DO use the search bar. I didn't find anything pertaining to the need of this.

Zerul 555 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 Not sure if we have this already but a "Commonly asked questions" thread would solve these problems quickly. 2 "Why, am I not royal enough for you?

NavelColt 22,883 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I know, I was going with what Feld0 said Once an official one was made, I'd assume it would be pinned in this forum, maybe even linked to somewhere out in the open maybe, but you're right in that I too believe, if that official topic isn't being made for an unknown amount of time, it doesn't mean the perfectly okay one that answers the newbs who want to know about ranks, isn't perfectly valid, too. It should not only be pinned, but in my opinion moved to this forum and out of Sugarcube Corner. Like I said to Feld0 in that PM, it's become a forum resource more than it has a generic thread for discussion at this point. And, I too agree a 'commonly asked questions' announcement topic that's out in the open would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"your favourite pony" thread is pinned, so why can't the badge thread also be pinned? I agree with both. People often don't end up reading Feld0's PM despite it sits there in front of them upon joining the site, and that's been made apparent by the fact that people constantly ask questions that are answered on there. So I believe both should be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiliscael 3,962 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 (edited) I like this idea. Implement it at once! Edited July 17, 2012 by Feld0 A feedback topic is not the place for personal questions directed at other members. That's what private messages are for.
