Just to be clear, the system was able to tell (and I can apply the badges manually as necessary) so if you think you got the wrong kind of pre-order badge just message me and I can tell you if that's the case/I should be able to fix it.
As for the cut-off, we went with on or before September 18th.
@Nathan, baw, that's no fun. Well, I guess it doesn't even matter given how all but one of my pre-orders will be given away (eventually). I probably shouldn't even have the other pre-order badge when all is said and done.
Though the site purchase page did say something about buying ten extra to give away as presents...
Hey all - just wanted to reiterate that if you need a pre-order badge to direct message me please - don't just post to my wall. For whatever reason it doesn't notify me when that happens and then.. like just now, I saw a post from @Magical_Trevor from October 2nd.. and.. yeah.
@Troodon80 psh, me? Do things while you guys aren't looking? NEVER.... *cough*
@Shandyr it's one of the ones that's included with Vanilla forums' badge system, and as such the criteria for who gets it and who doesn't is hardcoded deep within the forum's underdark.
If people would rather no one get it at all, I can disable it?
@Shandyr, I'll be honest, I was holding back the page until someone fount it. You can also find the page here. I stumbled upon it quite by accident about a month ago (near the time when I first signed up).
There also used to be LOL and Awesome badges, too, but it appears they've been completely disabled.
@Shandyr, I can only apologise from the bottom of my heart for the pain that I have cause thee .
Also, yeah, the level up badge was never there. The BG Moderator badge only appear a few days ago, too, even though @Nathan had one for some time before it appeared on the list. My assumption is that only the 'officially used' badges appear on the list. Since the level up badge isn't officially used, it won't appear there.
There could be quite a few other badges that no-one except Nathan might know about...
On a default vanilla forum you can judge somebody's post as "troll" "spam" "awesome" "disagree" "dislike" "off topic" in addition what is possible on this forum
(those are disabled on this forum)
These could start real flame wars and incite more personal attacks if allowed. I think the forum is better without them...
Nahhh you need two posts saying the same thing at exactly the same time for that. I got one in the forum is going nuts thread. But he certainly gets the ninja one
Just went to that thread to check. The synchronized post was mine with @Shandyr as well
We could re-enable the LOL! reactions - my thought would be that the "Awesome" ones would be a little redundant though, what with the Like reaction being there.
I think even the LOL would be a little redundant actually. If you post something funny and someone likes it, it's enough to know you made someone smile or laugh.
It would be interesting if you could mark more than one option though. Sometimes you like a post and finds it insightful as well, for instance, but have to choose just one option.
