I'm a writer for Dragon, and I also helped organize the hybrid playtest back in the day. Does that qualify me for any badges? Scribe? Guide?
I heard there is a "Dragon Slayer" badge for those whose input lead to the change of a Dragon article. As a Dragon writer, I'd think I'd qualify (if it really exists).
Also, I received my Herder of Hybrid titles a while back for my aid with the Hybrid playtest, but I doubt anyone who sees it now knows what it's about. Would it be possible to have my title changed to "Dragon Author" or "Writer for Dragon" or something?
Do I get a dragon slayer badge then?
Might I suggest "Divine Champion"?
IMO, all class handbook authors deserve some sort of official recognition. The sheer volume of work that goes into producing those things is phenomenal. It's people like you, LDB, Nausicaa, Litigation and the rest that keep me coming back to these forums, no matter how much certain other posters try to turn the place into a festering pit.

I thought the internet in general is already a festering pit?

Some people say that about humanity or the world in general. I think it's just that sort of toxic cynicism that creates such "festering pits" and allows them to remain so. We can do better.

I hold both attitudes, that it's a cess pit, and that we can do better. It's officially led to me being the clasical definition of insane (doing the same thing, expecting different results.) Every thread I think to myself "maybe this will be the one that's different and stays civil." Sadly, it never is.
I don't really see any trolls, though this thread has gotten off topic.

The sad part is, no it really hasn't.
I just wanted to request a badge or title change. A lot of this is not about badges or titles.
and i dont think we should give out badges for people saying things that get them banned, even if you think it was undeserved.
i would think you deserve one for contributing to dragon.

Its not like that... people that see other people get banned for posting things are like "What?" when they see why. It has a lot more to do with inconsistency and autobanning people when someone reports their post...
(And on a selfish note, i'd love to have a badge for my community compilations on Gamma World ;P)
That would be cool right up till people realize they can vote for themselves.
If each person only gets to vote once, that doesn't necessarily matter. Any nominations would have to be 'seconded' by several people, to stop anyone from just setting up a sockpuppet account to nominate their 'real' account. Or maybe only accounts that have existed for at least six months could be permitted to nominate anyone? There's lots of ways you could set up a fair and workable system.
Since everybody seems to think they are entitiled to a meaningless pleasantry, I want one too!!!
ME!
ME!
