amix says Aug 03, 2008 11:53PM we have given some badges to users that have Plurk community sites (like kdfrawg). if you haven't gotten one, contact us
reneguerrero Aug 03, 2008 10:07PM i'm thinking platinum with a modest single caret in the middle of a star..
RohanPinto thinks Aug 03, 2008 10:18PM every user here is making the " plurk community" grow, be it via their blog or the use if other social sites or just speaking about it....
RohanPinto Aug 03, 2008 10:18PM if you discriminate..... You loose users.... Do u really want that to happen ?
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 10:24PM pshaws, Rohan, that's like saying "Everyone exercises, so why should we reward an olypmpic athlete as exceptional."
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 10:24PM Some people put more than the usual amount of effort, and it's a good thing to recognize the efforts.
reneguerrero Aug 03, 2008 10:34PM i suppose so. but i don't do what i do to be recognized. i do it because it helps everyone (myself included) and ultimately society itself
RohanPinto Aug 03, 2008 10:48PM I do what I do, badge or no badge... Setting up a " community" site for plurk is easy... But the tracktion it brings is way more important
RohanPinto Aug 03, 2008 10:50PM so rewarding. "few" select ain't fair... And cmon now... Gimme a iPhone app... Not a web mobile app... And that's a champion
RohanPinto says Aug 03, 2008 10:51PM it takes less than a day to setup an rss aggregator of sorts... Does that qualify ?
RohanPinto Aug 03, 2008 10:52PM the amount of folks I have tried to convince that plurks netter than the rest is quite substantial...
LChamp says Aug 03, 2008 11:28PM i have reservations about sites that have special rewards for "special" users. Every user promotes this site...why are some more special?
martinbogo has Aug 03, 2008 11:30PM found that RohanPinto will often take a contrarian, and controversial view on things.
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 11:30PM respects, but utterly disagrees with Rohan's logic -and- position on this.
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 11:31PM The badges aren't a reason to do something, but they are a "thank you"
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 11:30PM Which in general polite society are accepted with a "thank you, very much appreciated" rather than spit, ire, and acid.
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 11:32PM (Pardon the hijacking of this plurk Amix .. shall we move it to a new one?)
martinbogo Aug 03, 2008 11:32PM (mind you, declining is just as simple .. "Thank you, but I can't accept.")
Te-ge Aug 03, 2008 11:43PM isn't sure it qualifies since my blog isn't solely devoted to Plurk, but I have the 10 Minute Guide To Plurk and calendars
LindaZ Aug 04, 2008 12:56AM Did Teeg mentioned her creation of the Plurkiversary calendar where everyone can post their b'day so we can plurk them the day of
reneguerrero Aug 04, 2008 12:58AM i think womenofplurk is going to be the bomb. better than a community- we take it to the streets...
ThoughtWrong wonders Aug 04, 2008 02:33AM if there will be a way to filter the interesting plurkers page to view pleeps w/ badges and such?
PlurkingPoppa Aug 04, 2008 08:56AM commented on bloggeries article and waits with interest for his reply
PlurkingPoppa wonders Aug 04, 2008 08:56AM if the A-Team values honesty or only wants to recognize schmoozers?
amix says Aug 04, 2008 09:00AM we will in the future have all sorts of badges that recognize people that help plurk and the plurk community - this is just one of the first
mojaam says Aug 04, 2008 01:36PM amix: I like the badge idea. I've noticed the invitation badge although deniz invited 6 but has the badge anyway.
alvin says Aug 04, 2008 01:59PM hehe nice catch, mojaam. we gave deniz that star very early on to test the star system. maybe it's time to ask for it back!
RohanPinto thinks Aug 04, 2008 04:52PM its nice to see that we all disagree and agree with each other on plurk and still be "friends".. what a wonderful world
Jane Chin likes Aug 06, 2008 02:56PM plurk A-team and amix for recognizing community effort; thanks guys!
Cristian Ciofu says Aug 06, 2008 03:02PM I just launched a blog about Plurk and the site will be launched soon - what do you think? blog.plurkr.net is the blog [for now]
Cristian Ciofu says Aug 06, 2008 03:08PM thanks amix - I hope my plurkr.net will help Plurk to grow bigger and bigger
Connie Aug 06, 2008 06:37PM amix, our plurkshops.com site is listed as one of the unofficial blogs, but several of us maintain it. Could the badge be put on our blog?
Connie Aug 06, 2008 07:09PM Thanks, amix! connie DebinDenver AmberCadabra BethHarte, MackCollier, TimJackson, pchaney, kdfrawg, teeg.
amix says Aug 06, 2008 07:17PM connie: i have now given the community badge to all of plurkshop's members
Connie Aug 06, 2008 07:22PM Thank you so much, amix. We enjoy using Plurk to have in-depth discussions like the plurkshops.
miketempleton says Aug 07, 2008 07:19AM I love this idea. It shows that the A-Team is more involved than just running the site. They're also out there supporting users.
leonniefm asks Aug 08, 2008 03:03AM if amix & The A-team has checked on plurkertati.com & plurkdev.com ? mahadewa is the guy behind it, he made us Plurkmark, very useful
leonniefm Aug 08, 2008 03:03AM coz I haven't seen any badges on his profile & I think he deserve one.
PlurkingPoppa thinks Aug 08, 2008 07:39AM it's Martin who often tries to discredit peeps (Rohan in this instance) who point out Plurk shortcomings ...
PlurkingPoppa thinks Aug 08, 2008 07:45AM that like karma, the badge *are* a reason to do something because they are judgmental, do rank contributions, and cause competition
PlurkingPoppa wonders Aug 08, 2008 07:47AM why amix immediately responded to Christian with a badge but is still ignoring Poppa's much older blog?
