I was wondering about badges to SNN. I've seen them on some other wikis, but the idea is pretty new. It just makes me think. --Sonicpower We don't need Badges. Badges are overrated. And it's a fact! Cake is a lie 03:41, April 11, 2012 (UTC) Meh, I have no interest in badges. Pacmansonic138 03:47, April 11, 2012 (UTC) Genesjs – "I don't die. I just go on adventures." TALK – 09:22, April 11, 2012 (UTC) I think it would've helped if the author of this forum actually wrote some other stuff besides just the title... As for the badges themselves, I'm neutral on whether they're added or not. It may be a nice triviality for Users to have, but it doesn't do much to help the site overall. Gen, he did, but he put it inside comment marks. I've made them visible. On topic, I don't think they're necessary. -- Supermorff (talk) 11:23, April 11, 2012 (UTC) That's SHE to you. I hate it when people call me a male. Soz tho. ♥Feel mah powah!!♥Or ah fire mah laser!! 04:24, April 23, 2012 (UTC) Genesjs – "I don't die. I just go on adventures."

Serious Sam Heavy 20:46, April 11, 2012 (UTC) I want badges, they'll influence ppl to edit!♥Snegg♥ File:Blazeprofilesgv2.png 20:46, April 11, 2012 (UTC) I think this all wikis should have some sort of fun way of editing here. Most of the wiki's I help out with HAVE badges. Heck, my and a certain user's wiki has badges (Avatra Wiki). I say we should have bagdes. But its my opinon. Thank you and good night (or day)!User:BlueSpeeder 20:58, April 11, 2012 (UTC)BlueSpeeder-3:57pm-4/11/12 Iam going to oppose this because if we do bring them to the wiki we will have alote of people medel spamming and only editing to get the badges, sure there exciting but there TOO EXCITING! So as I said before iam opposing. sonic icon 05:03, April 12, 2012 (UTC) I think that having badges on this wiki might be good. They provide a fun way of editing. I've been on a few wikis with badges, and those badges have urged me to keep on editing and editing so I can get more. I thought it was a pretty fun and amusing way to edit. And I know many users don't want to edit this wiki, but these badges might help them want to make the edits. And I think it could help us a lot on the chat, with less people insulting and swearing at us because they don't feel like getting the edits. Overall, I think it will be a good way to make editing this wiki, and even the wiki, more fun and interesting. So I support this.Lightning the Hedgehog So have we thought of anything yet? --[insert awesome user here] 04:05, April 15, 2012 (UTC) Are we going to use them or not? [insert awesome user here] 06:03, April 18, 2012 (UTC) Why are people against these just because they're not really needed? It influences people to edit! Is raising productivity on the Wiki not important enough? ♥Snegg♥ File:Blazeprofilesgv2.png 12:11, April 21, 2012 (UTC) It may not always be productive. It may cause spam edits and commenting on old blogs/spamming on new blogs. I've seen some of the badges. --Time Biter "The Rift" 12:15, April 21, 2012 (UTC) That's my main issue with them, yes. -- Supermorff (talk) 16:05, April 21, 2012 (UTC) Badges are useless and always leed to lots of spam. And I think that will just make us look like a bad wiki. willaca 06:22, April 23, 2012 (UTC) I'm against, per spam edits and making contributions for the wrong reasons. People should try and edit simply to improve the wiki, not get the next new shiny badge that does nothing except give bragging rights.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 07:11, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
