Hello there, fellow OLF members!
As we prepare for the upcoming changes in future updates of the forum software we use, it is imperative that we remove any bloat that could potentially hinder us from accessing the latest and greatest updates and features. Badges were a feature added a long time ago, where I would manually award users with badges for various actions on the forum. Since then, we haven't been actively awarding users with badges, and at this point, it feels like dead weight given the direction our community is heading.
So, I ask you, fellow members of this community: Should we remove the badges feature, or should we keep it and find more frequent and creative ways to utilize it?
I will leave voting and suggestions open until next Friday, or until we have enough votes to justify the removal of this feature, at which point we will proceed with the closure of this thread. Polls cannot be added to this node type, so you can either use the up-vote or down-vote feature next to this post to cast your vote, and drop some feedback if you so choose to.
