| May 17, 2013 at 20:41 | comment | added | TheCleaner | The point of my post was that the site has two choices (analogous to a business if you will). It can be happy with the current traffic, retention rates, etc. or if it isn't it can choose to try new things to attract new clients/visitors. I'm not saying the site should be the midway at the state fair, but it could use a little color and excitement. | |

| May 17, 2013 at 5:31 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | There are only 18 30K+ users right now. That number probably should be tweaked a bit. | |

| May 16, 2013 at 22:19 | comment | added | Sven | So, no, please don't add any more of this stuff. At least in my case, it would be exactly counterproductive. | |
| May 16, 2013 at 22:18 | comment | added | Sven | No. People should come here because they want to contribute and help people, not for some stupid worthless "achievements". SE already took this gamification nonsense way to far with all those badges people want to get for some unfathomable reason. The end result? People want a badge and do tons of worthless edits that other users need to check or they blindly click on review buttons without really reading the stuff they are reviewing. This in turn ended in the creating of the review audit system (treating the symptoms) instead of treating the cause (wrong incentives). | |
