derpibooru's badges

But how a forum thread is going to have tags?

@Mildgyth  
Witchcraft!

@TexasUberAlles  
Oh, I think this’ll only be going for forum thread. Image comments are a huge die toss; a beautiful image will have two comments while something a /pol/ spazz sneezed out will get 300.

@The Smiling Pony  
Ah, that makes more sense, by which I mean “any sense at all”; I’m just used to calling an image comment section a “thread”, that’s what made this sound like such a horrid idea. I was wondering why in the hay-hole you would openly court duckery by dangling a fancy badge that could be got by pissing off a lot of people with a troll image.

@TexasUberAlles  
Still, forum topics have same problem. Take this topic, for example. I opened it, but it doesn’t matter who opened it, because if someone else opened it, it would still have same amount of posts. It becomes just matter of speed.

@Background Pony #0C52  
For some “pressing issue” topics, yeah. I guess the badge would be more for “wow, this is an interesting discussion I didn’t think we’d have here”.
 
Also I ain’t going anywhere near the RP forum. That place terrifies me. Truly.

@The Smiling Pony  
The only roleplay thread I go anywhere near is the Three Word Story Game. I don’t go to any others simply because I’m not into roleplay that much.

@The Smiling Pony
 
Threads that qualify:
 
(Just so you know, that badge is gonna apply to a lottttttt of game threads…)
 
Person Above You
 
Time Wasting
 
Fetishes
 
Video Game General (It’s an anon, dunno if it still applies if it was a user who decided to post anonymously or not).
 
Gamergate Discussion
 
Waifu Thread
 
We Can Only Talk in Pictures
 
Smash Bros
 
Pokemon Thread
 
Horseplay
 
Some OPs might be dead.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
That “person above you” thread got MAAAAAAJORLY derailed, and has been derailed for like 3700 pages e.e  
I think it’s a good thing I don’t participate in the forum beyond these site & policy threads, I feel like my IQ would plummet if I did.

@zippysqrl
 
Meh, I don’t see the harm in it.
 
That’s actually one of the major reasons I love this site. Other mods at other sites want to keep everyone on a stringent line when it comes to discussion, which ends up limiting what you can say, do, etc, and give heavy punishments for the tiniest violations. Now, if an episode thread became majorly derailed, I can see why a mod might want to step in. But on something like general, if everyone is okay with the disruption…why break up the fun?
 
I don’t really know why your IQ would go down. I’ve had some fun discussions on those forums that I would have never had if not for the forums. _{though i do miss the spontaneous image RPs old Derpibooru was wont to spawn}

@zippysqrl  
Derpibooru’s fourms in a shellnut.  
General Discussion is the equivalent to /b/.  
Art Chat is pretty tame, but also full of people trying to get people to draw crap for them for free.  
Episode Discussion is really nothing special.  
Fanfiction and Roleplay is like being on /mlp/  
Site and Policy is tame, yet not that active.

@xWoofyhoundx
 
…then /b/ must be relatively tame. There’s some weird stuff in there, sure, like fetish art and cringe pics, but it’s largely people finding them to skeeve each other out. Nothing really crazy (usually).

@xWoofyhoundx
 
@And Brother I Hurt People
 
I’ve never been to /b/, but is it really that bad (outside the porn and weird-crap threads, that is)?

@xWoofyhoundx  
@And Brother I Hurt People  
I prefer /d/ c:

At this point in time, is there any list of all badges, updated to include recent ones?
 
@YetAnotherBrony
 
I suppose I didn’t make this clear, but I was saying that Derpi’s General Discussion is weird, but not too weird. Never been on 4chan.

What exactly is the “Air Ponyville” badge phallen1 got? He has drawn some of the air ponyville images, but is that all? Is it a unique, custom badge?

@JP
 
At the risk of sounding obtuse, the “air ponyville” badge is pretty much exactly what it says it is.

@Archonix  
Okay then. Custom badges ahoy!

If Tsitra360 is the real deal, they could use an artist badge. Otherwise, questionable username.

@cheezedoodle  
I’ll check if that’s actually him first, I doubt it. (it is him)

What’s the responsible disclosure badge? I have a theory, but I’ll ask anyway.

@JP  
At risk of stating the obvious, the badge is exactly what it seems like.
 
Xena told me about a vulnerability(Please don’t hurt me for linking this Clover), I made a proof-of-concept, then Clover fixed it and deployed. (That deploy was the cause of yesterday’s downtime as well, btw.)

@liamwhite1  

 
Actually, the downtime was unrelated. Out-of-the-blue crash of our main database server. A fix for the crash is in the next version of the server but it isn’t out yet, as it’s pretty rare so hasn’t been triaged as a hotfix. Oh, and I updated nginx and the config file rules had changed a little, which I failed to spot for 5 minutes…

@liamwhite1  
@Clover the Clever  
So my theory was correct.
