You should start pushing weight around here, you're the only one who actually has ideas worth implementing.
That @hivebuzz 'badges for the sake of badges' could be overhauled to really work in a way you outline.
HIVE is am embarrassment imo, it's mainly full of clowns who claim "this is the greatest place on Earth.." but then get defensive when someone points out why it actually isn't. No one wants to actually look at the reasons why outsiders see it as a big turnoff in it's current form.
Everyone just rocks back and fourth chanting "x project will be the killer dapp... you have to BEE LIEVE!"
Anyway the current approach is broken..
IT'S MARKETED AS "FREEDOM" BUT IT IS ACTUALLY "WORK FOR A FEW BOB."
