HN Badges
- psnehanshu 3y agoI don't understand what will happen if I add that link to my bio?
- mulmen 3y agoI apparently said fuck 33 (34 now) times. But when I click on that badge I get a weird popup instead of a link to the comments. Similarly I apparently mentioned Rick Astley. I'm curious when I did that, but I can't find out from this site. Neat idea but engaging with the site is a total deadend.
- unwind 3y agoYeah, I came to post that too, since I found some of the motivation for the badges dubious, and expected to be able to drill down to see the comments that awarded various badges.
- egeozcan 3y agoThis reminded me of the South Park episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Hits_the_Fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Hits_the_Fan > Throughout the episode, the profanity "shit" or "shitty" are exclaimed uncensored a total of 162 separate times; in syndicated or re-aired versions of this episode, a counter in the bottom left corner of the screen counts the number of times the word has been uttered
- prawn 3y agoA similar segment from The Wire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSMOVeE9YBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSMOVeE9YBI (NSFW, depending on your W)

- romanhn 3y agoApparently I said it 18 times, which doesn't seem right to me. A Google search didn't return a single example, though there were some instances in replies. Wonder if those are included.
- fatnoah 3y agoSame here. It's not a word I'd generally use when posting something here. I assume it's in a reply or something.

- defrost 3y agoI gave that a go on my comments, as I suspected I mostly use the F-word indirectly (quoting from sources, paraphrasing reactions of others, etc) .. but it's interesting the algolia search fuzzy matches to "luck" and "Fukishima" etc. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=defrost%20fuck&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
- rahimnathwani 3y agoTry using quotes: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=author%3Adefrost%20%22fuck%22&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
- defrost 3y agoCheers. Quotes restricted it to exact whole word matches; no fuzzy matches (Fukishima) nor any "as root word" matches, F-ed, F-ing, F-ery, F-ers, etc. As an Australian I'm not sure how I feel about one of our more expressive words being described as a bomb and singled out, but I'll take the badge with pride.
- b_mc2 3y agoThis shows up as zero for me but the badge site says I've used it twice. It's pretty easy to manually check since I haven't made too many comments. I suspect the badge site is fuzzy matching since "luck" or some variation has appeared twice (now three times)
- rahimnathwani 3y agoYes, probably.
- sph 3y agoUh there's a Rick Astley badge? Now I have to find a way to rickroll someone on HN.
- ydant 3y agoThe "f word" detection is not accurate at all. > Has used the F word in at least 2 comments and more than 0.1% of comments. ydant has 4 such comments. My comments: 1 DuckDuckGo 3 Luckily 1 duckdb 1 luckily 1 lucks Replies to me: 2 Luckily 1 bucket 1 bucks 1 fucking
- ydant 3y agoIt is regularly updating, though, as now my count is up to "5 such comments".

- jwhiles 3y agoThis taught me that it's possible to change the colour of the header, and that I had enough Karma to do so! Now enjoying my very pink version of hacker news.
- mulmen 3y agoFor me it is a flavor of chartreuse (d9e86d).
- benatkin 3y agomine's ff4400 :D Or #f40 in CSS. I see here there's no 420, so I'm gonna give 420420 a shot. :D https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors Make that #cbd420 - it doesn't add a light foreground for a dark background.
- beaker52 3y agoSomehow, for reasons I can’t explain, I know that’s hn-orange without even looking. Edit: I figured it out. The user settings page shows the color - mine is set to ff6600 which was close enough to trigger parts of my brain.
- benatkin 3y agoWow! Yeah it's just a bit off the standard one. I seem to remember getting it from an HN redesigned site or something.
- nailer 3y agoNeeds a Startup News badge for people here before the rename.
- thunderbong 3y agoWhat rename?
- grzm 3y ago> Initially called Startup News or occasionally News.YC., it became known by its current name on August 14, 2007. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News#History
- weinzierl 3y agoFor me it shows the "F Word!" and "Rick Roller" badges but I'm pretty sure I'm neither. It would be helpful that at least for the negative badges it would show the source. A quick search showed that I once posted a story that has the f-word in the URL. I don't feel that justifies to be branded as an f-word user. EDIT: Otherwise I quite like it. The idea as well as the execution! EDIT: This reminds me of when procmail was new and shiny (a long time ago). The smart-alec I was created a rule that threw away all mails the contained the string "viagra". Of course the bytes that comprise the string were coincidentally in an important binary attachment. Oops, now I probably gained the "Viagra User" HN badge;-) You hopefully see where the issue with a simple keyword based approach is.
- rahimnathwani 3y agoThe first time was 8 years ago. The most recent was less than two weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35723773 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35723773 Both times you were quoting someone else :)
- weinzierl 3y agoHow did you find all of them? Searching for "f-word username" turns up the one in the URL or lots of comments with the word "luck" in them.
- Hamuko 3y agoThe F word badge is a negative one?

- avindroth 3y agoThis is cool; a UI suggestion would be to show what the badges are when you hover, and not click-to-alert.
- enlyth 3y agoIt already does, if you hover over the text label of the achievement (not the graphical icon)
- andreacavagna 3y agoGreat idea! I was looking for something like that. A legend on badges would be great :)
- eimrine 3y agoI have submitted one topic with 250+ comments and do not have a badge about it, I surprised it does not have 100 upvotes. For me a number of comments in the topics I submit is way more exciting, they are a real people telling a real things and not just some +1.
