We just launched a brand new feature:
Website Achievements
!
You can use this thread to give feedback about this feature and - especially - to suggest new achievements you would like to see implemented.
Keep in mind though that we want achievements to encourage only
good behavior
such as posting great comments, so don't suggest achievements that will promote
bad
behavior such as "Having your comment downrated". =)
Semi-official list of planned future achievements
Copper, Casual data miner
: Discovered and uploaded a database item to Wowhead that had never been seen before.
Copper, PTR Tester
: Posted a comment on a PTR only page
Silver, Data miner
: Discovered and uploaded 50 database items to Wowhead that had never been seen before.
Gold, Hardcore data miner
: Discovered and uploaded 100 database items to Wowhead that had never been seen before.
Known Issues
The
Pioneer
achievement only works when manually awarded retro-actively. A fix for this is awaiting deployment.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Koper##DELIM##

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought they were an ad, lol.

I would avoid achievements based on the number of topics or replies posted, it would increase spam.
It wouldn't if it it were required that each qualifying post had to have a certain 'rating' (like our comments).
Just sayin'.

Thought it was an ad at first until I actually read them. I like the idea. Hopefully it will get people to button mash Upload on their clients.

The hover on the things to the right of
Achievements:
in the post identity block on the right should show information on how many unique achievements actually make up that number.
For ones like the visit the site n days consecutively, there should be a progress bar on the achievement info page so you can see if the count is still running or if you've missed a day and it reset. I see the n / nmax on the achievement page tooltip but that's a bit obscured.
EDIT
(I see the consecutive visits in the profile page too. I guess that's enough. You could make it a really cool progress bar that fills once for the copper achievement, then fills on top of itself for the silver, then again for the gold. Oooh pretty.)
I think the feedback switch should be flipped by constructive posts to the Feedback forum. Also, does the feedback actually have to be accepted or do you just have to submit it? People might just submit crap if the latter is true.
How is Early Member not a gold achievement? It's a feat of strength, basically.
Neat idea. I like it. Nobody can go wrong with achievements.
EDIT
: I also agree that the coin icon is somewhat mundane and not quite at the standard of the other icons around the site.
Does pinning actually do anything yet? I remember talking about it way before the profiler was even implemented; but, until now, I don't remember actually seeing it.
Dare I even suggest linking achievements with post count?
Perhaps achievements could affect the title text somehow? Instead of just nothing for non-premium or <Wowhead Patron> for premium.

Posted it on the blog but it appears this is the better place for it: tt does appear that there is a bug on the secret achievement counter, as Koper's profile is showing "...plus 1 secret achievement." When he only seems to have one secret achievement, I'm guessing it may be because he achieved it twice.
It's because I have two. It's supposed to only show the ones you already have, and tell you the count of the ones you don't see.
Unfortunately this is not working well (read: at all) because user pages use a very old caching system which, unfortunately, makes this impossible. So I'm going to change it so that it will show all the user's achievements, hidden or not, until we can switch user pages to our new caching system. Secret achievements have vague descriptions anyway, so hopefully we won't give out too much info about them. =)

How about a "Drop by and say Hi" copper achievement to post for the first time in the RB?

Yes pelf; pinning is used for
personalized character searches
. There are some additional pinned character features coming Soon (tm) including equipping items to the profile.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##poeticdragon##DELIM##

I've been considering torturing users with an achievement for the 'secret title'.

There should be achievements for the sum of all the comment ratings received.
And one for having a screenshot as sticky.
And for using an avatar nobody else is.
