Badge suggestions - ones with added thought
-
I call pedantic dickweedery.
-
Hm... It seems like your badges encourage proper forum behaviour, such as closing topics and flagging irritating and offensive posts. This will not do.
TBH, though, aside from @codinghorror's bug-tracking shenanigans and FAQs, how many topics have been closed here so far?
And we're still missing this option:

Outside of #Bug, none that I'm aware of. (That sort of stuff was why I appended the 'With Prejudice' qualifier.) In fact threads were rarely closed over on CS.
None of the ones in #FAQs are technically closed - it's a category restriction applied to anything posted there.
-
Outside of #Bug, none that I'm aware of.
So I don't get any badges for my funny bug reports?
-
No.
-
Am I at risk of having my account suspended from my funny bug reports?
-
No. The "With Predjudice" qualifier was added to protect people against normally closed topics for reasons other than "This Topic Is Getting Out Of Hand And Everyone Needs To Stop Talking About It. Now™" - the ostensible reason for that particular set of badges..
-
"This Topic Is Getting Out Of Hand And Everyone Needs To Stop Talking About It. Now™"
How do you reach that level on TDWTF?
Oh look, I broke it again. Is there a badge for "doesn't even care about bugs any more"?

Just guide a topic towards religious or political discussion.

Just guide a topic towards religious or political discussion.
We have one active with both subjects being discussed, and had at least 2 more topics like that since we moved to "The Work of Jeff™". Nothing got closed. Yet.
Man, it's a pain to write a kinda-unambiguous sentence when you have to replace "thread" with "topic". Yeah, I know, I could've called it a thread but I was already too deep into it.
-
Okay, well we need a topic with both, and then just keep adding contentious issues, such as sexism in IT, until @PJH cracks.

Or Monty Hall.
I half agree with @Keith, and 2/3 with you.
-
So can we agree on agreeing 3/5's with everybody. Except maybe with @Nagesh. That would be pushing it.
-

Agreed. It seems that these badges are encouraging us to stray from our TDWTF ways. Maybe we should all return to CS ...

I would rather say B*****m than agree more than 1/1000 with @Nagesh.

@Nagesh has made 932 posts, and I think I might have actually agreed with as many as 2 or 3 of them. Oh, Belgium!

You can also come out of closet now. Admit it that you're liking my post and move along with life.

BAD! @boomzilla's child visits this forum!
How old is his daughter? Did he breed before getting into computer programming or after?

In that case, @boomzilla's child has bigger problems than reading the word "B*****m."

I think I'm fairly safe. I can only recall agreeing with 1 of his posts so far, and it was pretty traumatic.
-
My counter for that is still at zero. It could probably be defined as a constant.

That's what I thought, then this happened.

He lost me at using Oracle.
Maybe I was delirious from the previous talk about Oracle and got confused into agreeing with @Nagesh.

Remember guys, even a stopped clock is right twice a day (assuming it's analog)!

Almost liked that

I seem to recall thinking the world was about to end. What worries me, though, is that I think there might have been one or two others that I don't even remember.

Yeah, it may have happened and been suppressed by the subconscious.

I have a (stopped) mechanical digital clock. It is also right twice a day.

And also assuming that it isn't a 24 hour clock.

Even a broken clock is right more often than @Nagesh.

If I select the goat and the jesus, will they fuck?

Back to "More or Less OT"… does anyone know if one can (and how to) use the Font Awesome stuff in posts?

I don't think you can. Not any more anyway, after the spin incident.

The spin incident wasn't that bad …

Flash Hater Badge for all people hating on adobe flash product.
-
Flash has its uses and HTML has its uses. When someone uses the wrong one is when I get annoyed.
Imagine if The Brothers Chaps had made Homestar Runner using
<div>
and<span>
tags.
-
I've seen a clone of Lemmings done with div and span tags.
-
-
It got served a takedown notice despite not reusing any of the original code (though it reused the assets, the takedown notice asserted it reused the code too)
-
Much sadness… Wait! "DHTML Lemmings!"
…And there was much rejoicing…
-
Yup, that's the one though that's not where it was originally. Note that if I remember rightly, it is broken in later levels.
-

You can't. Not yet.

Since when has that stopped people?

Is that tonight's project then? Break fa-icons free from the depredations of DC's bug-fixers?
