I'll consider supporting proposal, but I'll have to think about it first. Frankly, all that gameification idea is not my type of thing... I'm not here for (meaningless?) praise from Hivebuzz for something as mundane yet another {N} likes/comments, etc., and I doubt that users who appreciate kindergarten-like participation badges are the kind that is worth attracting or retaining.
Could you think of something to encourage contribution of meaningful good quality content? Something akin "appreciator" but without misuse by rewarding posts promoted by upvoting cartels, shitposts (i.e. poor quality posts), or cake baking recepies?
