Badge suggestions chronic longposter and broke the comment box for users who type very long comments. Only You Could’ve Written Fallout Equestria is a fully fleshed-out idea at this current moment, the other two still have much room for discussion & improvement.
One of these should have the badge be of Rainbow Dash making an expression for “didn’t read, LOL” and the other should be a typewriter with a long scroll of paper, but I can’t decide which should be which.
Broke the Comment Box
(better name needed)
For users who use all the available room. Given to anyone who makes at least one comment or forum post of 2,000 words (to average 10 characters per word including formatting and links) or of 19,000+ characters and 1,000 words (in case it makes very heavy use of links).
This should be manually verified to ensure that the candidate comment is on-topic and does not feature ASCII art as a significant influence on its character count.
Chronic Longposter
Awarded to users who type a lot. I can’t decide on the exact criteria, so here are the examples I’m mulling over
- At least 1% of the user’s total activity consists of comments or posts that are at least 100 words.
- Have at least 20 posts and comments longer than 1,000 words
- The total word count for their posts or comments with a word count of 500 or more (so ignoring their short messages) is over 150,000.
Exact numbers are also up for debate.
You Could’ve Written Fallout Equestria
Badge of shame for users whose total word count between forum posts and image comments throughout all Derpibooru equals or exceeds the word count of Fallout: Equestria. A Project Longpost badge is unlocked for those whose lifetime wordcounts here exceeds that of Project Horizons.
