The whole power-badge-as-a-divisive-topic thing is a bit bizarre here… if you are here to have fun, be clever, enjoy contributing to conversations, and make friends irl, what else matters? I guarantee anyone who does the above will be just fine, otherwise there’s no there there.

Sucks to feel like you can't be noticed for contributions to comversations and to feel like there's no path to a power badge. Non-English users (even those who have since started posting in English) unfortunately have a tough time with the current iteration of the pb system.

I actually ran into so many "rephrase my cast" bots today that I had to turn priority mode back on, so I get you as well.

I totally understand that and take it as a factor here. I feel that a lot of what people think of as bots are actually just non-native English speakers. There are a lot of people who miss the subtleties of humor and sarcasm, hence the responses are bland and generic. Just having a few friends on here is all it takes.

Preach! I know a user with an extensive non-PB experience when I see one, even if you have a PB currently! 🙏
