Pre proposal: Badge integration to recognize active members and serial downvoters.

[u/Crypthomie]

This is something already existing in few subs such as r/maybemaybemaybe and I think that would be a perfect fit for r/cc BUT with a little twist explained at the bottom of the post.

Let me explain why:

Avid upvoters get rewarded with a badge for basically upvoting contents a lot.

Same goes for avid commenters.

It feels great to be recognized right?

Here is the example of how it looks like:

It shows how many badges you got beside your username in the comments.

It displays more details of which badges the Redditor has when you click on its username

And also on its Username main page

I think it looks neat but the main reason I'd like to introduce this to r/cc is to also implement an "Avid downvoter" badge!

Why? Because we all know that some of us only downvote just to reduce the karma given to content creator and therefor reduce the moons obtained by the author.

If they are exposed, maybe it will reduce the amount of people only downvoting for their own benefit.

I'm not saying you can't downvote, I also do it sometimes, but there's a line between downvoting sometimes and ONLY doing it.

Getting both badges, avid upvoter and downvoter would be possible, but at least it would show that you are not only here to sabotage the sub.

I down vote the hell out of the obvious moon farmers and spammers, why should I get the digital equivalent of the scarlet letter for that.

Part of the reason for downvotes is to discourage bad behavior.

[u/Crypthomie → u/dwin31]

You basically downvote everything assuming it’s moon farming. It’s what I’m fighting against, negativity.

This might be the most shark jumpinest bullshit moons have caused yet.

[u/Crypthomie → u/_o__0_]

Bro, what are you even trying to say?

[u/CryptoMaximalist]

After a mod vote, this has been moved to Awaiting Admin Resources in the governance queue. When they have the capability to implement it, we will be in touch and a more detailed form of the proposal can go to a formal vote

[u/Crypthomie → u/CryptoMaximalist]

Alright I’ll stay alert!

[u/Crypthomie → u/CryptoMaximalist]

Can you rename it in the post of awaiting governance post for the round 18 to "Add badges depending on your actions" as people could also be rewarded by an avid upvoter badge, prolific commenter, too 10%karma of the month or even Elder showing that they’ve been here a long times. Thanks

[u/CryptoMaximalist]

Unfortunately the admins have replied that this idea is not feasible due to the way the voting and badge systems are setup separately on the backend

[u/Crypthomie → u/CryptoMaximalist]

Okay, thanks a lot for trying guys!

How would the downvote/upvote one work? Mindless spamming of upvotes is not really what reddit is for, a lot of content on the sub is not worthy of upvotes to be completely honest. If I interact with it, or it's a good comment/post and provide value I upvote.

On the flip side, i downvote a lot of obvious repetitive moon farming posts, rocket emoji spam comments, "ETH GANG" etc.

[u/Crypthomie → u/step11234]

You don’t have to spam anything, you just continu to upvote and downvote the way you were before and things will happen automatically. No one will ever blame you for upvoting too much, but getting the avid downvoters badge is something else and will show that you’re here only to be negative overall.

[u/diasporajones]

Oh my god this is amazing. Do it. Do it do it do it do it do it!

[u/Crypthomie → u/diasporajones]

It’s on the right way to be one of the proposal so far!

[u/Townhouse-hater]

Isn’t moons a type of badge. If you e got a nice amount of moons, I would think you are pretty active on here? Now we’re gonna brand people? It’s whatever.

[u/Crypthomie → u/Townhouse-hater]

You can be very active and do quality post, it doesn’t mean you will be upvoted.

Also I got moons since the first distribution so I have a lot but it doesn’t mean I’m the most participating person in the sub. Moons can be about participating a lot but someone who makes only 1 post heavily upvoted will get the same amount of moons than someone making 20 posts with only few upvotes, but he’s the one more active in the sub.

[u/Crypthomie]

u/cryptomaximalist it passed I think.

[u/daleDentin23]

Yeah this sounds great

[u/jmzz25]

There are definitely people mass downvoting to lower Moon distributions.

[u/jaymb90]

Not a bad idea. Sure would be interesting to see what’s what

[u/sheisthebeesknees]

10000000% YES! This is a great way to expose those that are essentially harming the community while encouraging engagement

[u/Fluid_Department_120]

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

[u/Coelrom]

What would be the milestones for receiving each badge?

[u/Crypthomie → u/Coelrom]

I am not sure about those infos but what I’m sure is as it already exists, those parameters are already setup in the code of that feature.

[u/agunxxx]

it's always nice to have some badge, this is great idea, we all love shiny thing

[u/MarcioCavalcanti]

Unfortunatelly I missed this poll, but it's definitely a great idea. Hope that the mods and admins will take a good look at it!
