Personally I say no, we shouldn’t make any change unless there is a very well designed mock-up or someone could get Apple to say on the record “have at it” and we use their logo with their permission. Barring that, I don’t think we should have “some sort of Apple shaped logo” since it’s going to infringe on Apple’s intellectual property unless it’s totaly ...

We probably can't do that due to infringement, but what about an alternative? ⌘ The command symbol (⌘), also known as 'place of interest', has an important place in the history of Apple as being one of its most used modifier keys. In addition, the design won't get Stack Exchange in trouble.

Here's CSS to do this for you, using the  Apple logo character. This won't show correctly on Windows. .badge1::before, .badge2::before, .badge3::before { content: ""; position: absolute; width: 6px; margin-left: -2px; margin-top: -2px; } .badge1::before { color: #F7CE46; } .badge2::before { color: #B5B8BC; } .badge3::before { ...

Because - believe it or not - you still earn reputation on Meta; it is just not shown and the main site's reputation is shown instead. Each upvote on an answer counts as +10 towards these badges, and each upvote on a question as +5, just like they would do on the main site. If you track the Epic or Legendary badge in your (Meta) profile and click on the ...

Yes, this badge and its gold version Lifeboat are new badges, announced in today's blog post Adios to Unfriendly Badges: Ahoy, Lifejacket and Lifeboat. As stated in the blog, We’re retroactively awarding these badges so if you’ve rescued any questions in the past, that achievement will be recognized within about 24 hours. Again, this is for all sites on ...

This is, I believe, a systemic problem with the user base of Ask Different*. Sites like Stack Overflow, where the approach to Q&A was pioneered and little better ingrained in the user base, don't seem to have it quite as bad as we do**. We attract a lot of search queries for problems and solutions that would otherwise have lead people to more ...

Yes, people have been noticing this on all sites throughout the Stack Exchange network. There's a 'central' bug post on the Main Meta which has now been marked status-completed, meaning it should be resolved.

Given these search results, I would say that the phenomenon is far from rare. There are 288 posts with at least 10,000 views with a score of 3 or lower. My cutoffs were arbitrary there, but you can play with the parameters and see that there are many posts with lots of page views and low scores.

I don't think that there is a progress marking for the easier to achieve badges. You can see things on the review tab where the longer to achieve tasks do get progress bars. So in general, the developers of the site are aware that showing progress is good, however it's hard to know which items they may add features to. By asking here or the main meta and ...

From the FAQ on Meta Stack Exchange, What are the badges I can earn on each site, and what are the exact criteria for earning each badge?: Curious bronze; awarded once Asked a well-received question on 5 separate days, and maintained a positive question record Inquisitive silver; awarded once Asked a well-received question on ...

Blockquote Unless someone does a mock-up to show exactly what the design looks like, this feels like water cooler talk and not something we can vote on or consider other than, no - this needs work and a design to be considered. Feb 10 at 20:41 bmike♦ In the interest of perhaps ruling-out or ruling-in further consideration of an apple-shaped badge, I ...

Badges can take a while to award. The 10 hours wait lets you know when the daiy script will run and post a badge that gets checked but once a day. Let us know if it's not happened in a dozen minutes after you can vote again.

Badges on Meta mean different things — for example, the answer badges on Meta means that you've answered a question regarding how the site functions, not the site itself. This is substantially different due to the difference in subject matter. As an aside, reputation is tracked independently on Meta, just not shown.

I think some questions/answers I've down or upvoted have been removed. Because if I count the questions and answers right now, it's missing 4. I think that's why I didn't get the badge.

We cannot view your voting page to corroborate your voting numbers - Mods cannot easily see how many times you voted, and certainly not who you voted for. Once it's more than a day old, the best we can do is see how times you have voted in the current week/month. In this instance checking your profile page suggests you have made 27 votes this week, but it ...

In my eyes they are related, and just a degree of how sustained your moderation efforts on the site relate to the voting buttons. My hope is that everyone that decides to chase the Electorate badge is then so used to the positive effect of voting, that the site grows people that help moderate what content is featured.
