The problem with the Warpcast Power Badge is that many spammers have it. Here's a list of the top 100 casts with the most recasts in the last 24 hours, made by users with the Power Badge  data.hubs.neynar.com/public/dashboards/b1FfpKPs0IPEVvsopekEgCrlJK7a8CqARAeMRSvC

To create a clean list, I had to manually filter out 145 FIDs that are spamming but still have the Power Badge. You can find the list of these accounts here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SMqs9VqucNo93k9doDJZMBtUwp4OjuzdwLjBo22MnNA

If I can identify these accounts with a reasonable amount of effort, then so can the Warpcast team. As it stands, the Power Badge is not very useful. Don’t just take my word for it, analyze the data via @neynar

This is fascinating. How exactly did you come to the conclusion that I'm a spammer? I only doing unique casts a few times a day on 2-3 channels. Most frequently in my own channel, which is also called /justbuild, the other is /powermonday which is designed to help people achieve a power badge through engagement. 

I spend the rest of my time on the platform replying to interesting casts I come across through the feeds I'm served through FC. I have never done a token giveaway and I do not engagement farm. 

So, I am wondering what exactly are you basing your criteria on.

Join the movement, create a better everything, all we need to do is keep building. /justbuild /talkstory $units $justbuild $moxie

Teaching users how to achieve a power badge sounds a tad bit like teaching people how to spam... to a new user on this platform that is. Maybe you actually do have meaningful content that teaches people how to post things that will gain organic activity but the way it's sounds like I said is you teach people how to spam

Cryptocurrency junior level. Been trading 3 years now and finally coming into gains. Know a lot now but still have more to learn and am eager to learn it.

lol, so again. I have never engaged in spamming, in anyway shape or form. I prefer conversation and replies. 90% of my casts are text. I actually didn't even start tipping until about a month ago. Since then I actually find the activity fun, its like a gamified system of engagement. 

I achieved my badge by doing what you are doing. Starting a conversation with someone that has a badge. Once I found out that was actually how you earned a badge I started doing it regularly, then constantly, and then poof a badge. Through that process I met a group of PBs that invited me to the PM channel, where we make ourselves available to non badge holders (many who don't speak english as their first language) to engage with us. Some of it is silly, some of it is not. But policing what you consider valuable or meaningful, funny or useless is where this whole discussion is breaking down along the edges. 

I think it would have been much more constructive without the label since it was design to judge. But, that's just me.

Yeah, its all good. I could tell by your response that you were missing some of the nuance around the topic. If you don't have some domain experience with these things it might sound off, ildi is one of the very first users, so he knows. But that also tells you why he likely has a very strong opinion on the state of the discourse on FC. Low FIDs vs newer accounts drawn by incentivized engagement often butt heads. Its a cultural clash.

PBs are a very new patch that is being used to try to identify "quality" casters that are actively engaged with the platform and its the debate over what defines quality that brings us here. If you want deep dive conversations about data to be the norm, then you probably consider the prevalence of Pepe GM casts, designed to generate engagement and with it incentives, an affront to that vision. The Pepe GM casters would beg to differ.

I'm in the camp where I think its all relevant and to cast a wide enough net to grow you need to cater to both sides of that coin. ✌️ 😁

Like I said I'm a new user on here so I honestly have no idea what your content is like. I just felt your original defense didn't really do you a good defense if you know what I mean, but how you just explained it to me it feels and sounds now like you are doing nothing of wrong intent. Also not knowing how this platform works coming mainly from the old twitter days I always jump to bots and fake users and things of the such and how much that was taught... The theme of numbers over quality of numbers. So the thought of people teaching others how to get interactions makes me jump to that I'm my brain

And honestly I was just doing what you described, especially cause I'm new on here I'm just trying to talk and get involved in some discussions so I can gain interaction and interest, was unaware of the power mod thing though, didn't even knew it existed till reading
