Do the badges actually intimidate people?

[Radiance64 7,057]

Nah, the mods are all pretty cool guys. Tehy watch the forum and doesn't afraid of anything.

I used to be slightly intimidated by the staff before I was in it. Then I was in it for like a year and a half and ended up becoming an admin. I'm on a hiatus now, by my choice for personal reasons and right now I have all of my staff shit removed so I can just chill out like I did when I was a regular member. 

 

Now that I've been staff none of them even remotely intimidate me. Working with them made it a lot easier to understand the fact that they're regular people like the rest of us, they aren't big brother or NSA or any of that shit. They're a great group of people who are really kind and friendly like so many people here are, staff or not.

They're a post count. They just make you aspire to be that cool.

Preach! I cannot tell you how many times this has proven true. lol

People with badges here just want to help. Ironically, it’s users who cause some scandal against the public or people in staff, in order to keep the truth from spilling, are the scary ones here. :v

Hey I mean I like the badges but I guess some people find them scary.

And you and I both have two badges. So we must scare people 2x as much.

Confirmed. The badges and account ages really are dangerous. 

[ExplosionMare 21,326]

You know, my account age was actually glitched for a while and said something silly like 2021, so if it hadn't gotten fixed, I could've pretended like I wasn't chronically online since 2016

It’s true, I’m going to have nightmares now. Instead of seeing a monster in my closet I’m going to see a unicorn badge and scream.

Not really. But it must be said that seeing a mod visit your profile is a bit intimidating , like the forum equivalent of having a police car behind you while driving.
