I still consider myself a newbie here. I have just about completed 70 plus days and happy that I have got the hang of how this site works having received payment once and feel I am qualified to receive payment for both August and September at the appropriate time.
However, a few things have been bothering me and I am sure there will be others too seeking answers.
Badges:
The question is about badges. I have been keeping a track of sorts and notice certain badges are not getting added even though there is enough input. I see scores of quizzes, polls, being added every day by several users but they just have those 5 badges and no more.
Having said that the oldies have a string of badges
OK if the site has decided to do away with certain badges then why have them on some as that does not give a true picture as there would be many users who joined later with great input.
Verified users:
Verified users are not moderated but I see violations here and there. How does this pan out to keep the site clean?
Trending and most commented:
Even though there are users with higher views and comments in a limited period of time they do not feature in these categories.
Tags:
Although tags are added at the time of creating posts they do not feature once they are published???
Let me reiterate I have nothing against any users who get projected here but need some input on clarifications I have sought.. They are my friends and I have a great rapport with them.

The badges and the verified user questions bothered me initially now, I have decided that the site doesn’t award these anymore.
Has there been a single user in the last couple of years to receive verified status? I am curious.
Wrong information is doing the rounds such as one needs to be here atleast 10 months but as you have rightly said so many even with 2 or more years here are not enjoying that benefit, Wish we knew the criteria.
If a verified user breaks the rules they lose the verified user status. There was not a single verified user until the site was more than 10 months old. No one has gotten to be verified without being on the site for a minimum of 8 or more months.
while I applaud your effort I will say this. YOU HAVE TO SHARE links. You cannot make a claim (some users are violating the rules( without links to the violations.
Trending and most commented is done over a single day. the clock for a post starts with the first comment and then goes until… the until is variable as I tried to explain to you previously. It is never more than 24 hours.
Tages work for some users, but you have to do them a certain way.
Badges are a topic Carol, myself and many others have brought up many times.
Thank you for your input. I am hoping the issues raised will be addressed.
you raised no issues that aren’t long-time issues. They were submitted with the FAQs the community put together more than 2 months ago.
Tags work.
You have a claim but no proof that verified users are breaking rules.
The admins are busy moderating new posts and seldom read posts on the site.
That is a good suggestion. Since you say Admin does not read posts on the site, I will have to write to them.
may I suggest you build consensus first that the issues you have are the ones the community cares about?
Since you say those who break rules cease to be verified users there ends the matter.
not really, it truly isn’t fair to make claims about people without providing proof.
honestly, that is not a good thing to do.
You have touched very good topic Indeed .
Do you have anything to add? Please do.
I’m also wondering about verified users if there really are.
They are verified users but I have seen some breaking rules
I have been here for over 2 years, but many things are still not clear to me and I am not burdened with this … I also recommend that you do not burden yourself because you will not come to any smart conclusion, my friend
Good advice. I will take it but if I can get answers I will be happy
I wish you good luck, dear Grace … if you can come up with any answer please let me know
I may have to write to Admin to get answers.
This, however, is the hardest part of getting an explanation from an administrator … you won’t even get an answer … but I haven’t had that luck so far
I hope you will find the answer to all your questions!
It will benefit all of us here.
I have a laundry list of questions that have never been answered. So good luck with yours is about all I can say.
Hoping there will be answers.
