Yeah, but how would the opposite of a Derpibooru duck act?

@zippysqrl  
So give’em to users that are nuts.

@zippysqrl  
OH COME ON UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL IS A NATIONAL TREASURE

@TexasUberAlles  
..I don’t get it.  
*googles*  

 
P.S. it does seem like everyones going the way of it being a “good behavior” award. funny that you see squirrels as something that “behaves”. Last I checked they’re hyperactive little balls of mischief. Just look at the word “squirrelly”, it has two definitions:  
• Someone tending to move around a lot  
• Someone who is very odd, silly, or foolish

@Mildgyth  
A swan.
 
Yep, even in the Derpibooru sense.

@Mildgyth  

 
A drake?

@Registered Anon
 
What would be the opposite of a duck?

@zippysqrl  
Maybe make the squirrel badge the opposite of the duck badge?

@zippysqrl  
Alt text should be either “TippyToe” or “Monkey Joe”, as appropriate.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Is it correct to say that someone has “too much time” when has actually no life?

@And Brother I Hurt People  
I was around when some of those were being posted, i didn’t frequent derpibooru nearly as often back then.  
Anyway this isn’t very badge related.  
People are welcome to throw in more suggestions for this squirrel badge I’ve made.

Here’s a taste.

@YetAnotherBrony  
Sounds like he’s made himself quite Infamous.  
I (thankfully) wasn’t around at the time.

@Exhumed Legume
 
Well, whoever he is, wherever he is, I hope he’s happy that he has a “reputation”.

@YetAnotherBrony
 
Maybe he had too much time on his hands. Maybe he thought that he could prove something. Or maybe it was a corrupted wish. Why do the major uploaders bring so much content to this site, daily? They want people to be happy. I love looking over my images’ scores and comments and knowing that I spent an thirty minutes/an hour making someone else’s day slightly brighter with pony. The scores are a reflection of that. Maybe Kein started off like that, but became completely enthralled with something as unimportant as top scoring. He turned uploading into a game, with traps (not giving sources) and speed over quantity (not giving correct tags). He lost what’s actually good about being a major content provider.
 
I’m not trying to make excuses for him, mind you. He was a royal asshole. I saw that nightmare dupe shit; it wasn’t pretty. Just trying to figure out where he went wrong.

@YetAnotherBrony  
My guess would be attention.

@The Smiling Pony
 
It makes a guy wonder why someone would go to such crazy lengths to do the things he did.

@Solitude  
see I have an excuse for not knowing who he was because I’ve been on this site for less than a year

@TexasUberAlles  
Ah, well, wasn’t sure if you were being facetious or not since Kein had a bit of a reputation, especially with the Nightmare Dupe business. But TSP beat me to the punch.

@Solitude  
H’ain’t a clue, and Google Is Useless for “usernames which are also common words”.
 
@The Smiling Pony  
ninja %#$&

@TexasUberAlles  
Kein was an uploader that uploaded everything he thought would get a good score. He came from Ponibooru, where he was hated due to so many images he uploaded (and not merged or deleted, of course) being dupes. Plus he was, for lack of a better term, a rancid cunt.
 
Here he was known for spamming dupe images, with incorrect or no tags, generally dealt with quickly enough, uploading from new artists while hiding the source (to keep the artist “to himself”…) and later of for “nightmare dupe” (and two other mass duped images) that he uploaded again and again and a again (with miniscule edits to avoid exact-image checks) about a thousand times (an estimation, not an exaggeration).
 
Offsite, on DA he’s known as a kiriban “thief” (using scripts and alt accounts to gain “free commissions” for reaching a page-view milestone) to trump about a hundred artists, and on EqD he used to be known as the guy that submitted everything and would have a hissy fit if not credited.
 
He’s easily on the top-10 list for “piece of shit in the MLP fandom”, and while we may disagree on a lot of things, TUA, I think you can appreciate what it would have to take for me to “elevate” someone to such a position.

@TexasUberAlles  
You really don’t know?

@Solitude  
…What’s a Nubian Kein?

@zippysqrl  

 
@liamwhite1  
Isn’t Zitsuka also a Kein alt? I remember there being a bunch of those with different numbers that eventually got outed as such.

@liamwhite1
 
Looks like I have some catching up to do.
