    A thread of mine was recently closed. This got me thinking.

    In some video games, there are “achievements” that are unlocked

    by doing certain things or ending up in certain circumstances.

    So, what do you think sh/would be on a list of CR achievements?

    I’ll start – in no particular order:

    (In all cases, Y is to be assumed significantly larger than X.)

    Posting X (and Y, etc.) number of times.

    Starting a thread (and X number of threads).

    Getting X (and Y) number of responses to a thread.

    Bumping an old thread (and bumping a really old thread).

    Posting a post of a certain length.

    Getting a response from Popa to a thread of yours.

    Getting a response from a mod in any context.

    Having a post edited.

    Having X (and Y) number of posts rejected.

    Having a post deleted after being initially approved.

    Having one of your threads closed.

    Having one of your threads deleted.

    Making an “interpreting a post wrongly” joke.

    Making an in-joke.

    Having your spelling, grammar, or language criticized.

    Being trolled.

    Being accused of being a troll (and, in olden times, Joseph).

    Identifying a troll.

    Wrongly identifying a troll.

    Getting a subtitle (without asking for one).

    Getting a second subtitle.

    Being generally known or recognized for something or other.

    Getting an all-bold warning.

    Being rendered inactive.

    Being blocked and unblocked.

    Proclaiming that you quit the CR.

    Coming back after said proclamation.

    Posting under a different name (against the rules, of course).

    Getting into a serious debate.

    Being accused of apikorsus.

    Getting into a silly debate.

    Having your name appear 10 times in a row on the front page.

    Having your name be half of the names on the main page.

    You can’t give out achievements!!

    I’m the official CR achievement, award, and certificate giver.

    You may of course, have the honor of listing the achievements.

    My stats:

    Posting X (and Y, etc.) number of times.

    X and Y are not determined here, but I think I have enough.

    Starting a thread (and X number of threads).

    I’ve only started 38 threads; I don’t know if that makes the cut.

    Getting X (and Y) number of responses to a thread.

    I started a thread which currently has 727 posts (although granted probably at least half of them are from me).

    Bumping an old thread (and bumping a really old thread).

    Yes.

    Posting a post of a certain length.

    Ask my good friends the Moderators about this one.

    Getting a response from Popa to a thread of yours.

    Many times.

    Getting a response from a mod in any context.

    Yes, including responses within my post, responses in a seperate post, and even a thread started by a moderator in response to me.

    Having a post edited.

    Yes.

    Having X (and Y) number of posts rejected.

    I’ve had my fair share, though I don’t know if it’s enough to make X or Y.

    Having a post deleted after being initially approved.

    Yes.

    Having one of your threads closed.

    Yes.

    I think so.

    Not sure what you mean by that, but probably yes.

    Having your spelling, grammar, or language criticized.

    Yes.

    Being trolled.

    I don’t know.

    Being accused of being a troll (and, in olden times, Joseph).

    Surprisingly, with all that I’ve been accused of, I don’t think anyone ever accused me of being a troll.

    Identifying a troll.

    I have pointed out behaviors which could lead one to identify someone as a troll, but I don’t think I ever made any accusations.

    Wrongly identifying a troll.

    See previous.

    Getting a subtitle (without asking for one).

    Yes, and I didn’t even acknowledge it until it was changed.

    Getting a second subtitle.

    Yes, and it was also without asking for it.

    That’s up to you folks to decide.

    No.

    Posting under a different name (against the rules, of course).

    Well there has been discussion as to whether I am Sam2, and whether I am Randomex, but other than that, no.

    Getting into a serious debate.

    Yes.

    Being accused of apikorsus.

    Yes.

    Getting into a silly debate.

    Definitely according to some people.

    Having your name appear 10 times in a row on the front page.

    I don’t think so, but it is possible.

    Having your name be half of the names on the main page.

    I don’t think so.

    I’ll take the challenge:

    Posting X (and Y, etc.) number of times: Mods- you do the math

    Starting a thread (and X number of threads): Again, too complicated..

    Getting X (and Y) number of responses to a thread. Nah, almost none of mine

    Bumping an old thread (and bumping a really old thread): mostly from my oldies

    Posting a post of a certain length: Not really, I generally have nothing important so state

    Getting a response from Popa to a thread of yours: Could be

    Getting a response from a mod in any context: Ohh. Opening old wounds..

    Having a post edited: With salt

    Having X (and Y) number of posts rejected: Actually SOME MADE IT THROUGH!

    Having a post deleted after being initially approved: That too

    Having one of your threads closed: Sure

    Having one of your threads deleted: Sure

    Making an “interpreting a post wrongly” joke: Not sure

    Making an in-joke: Have no idea what a joke means

    Having your spelling, grammar, or language criticized: Yes

    Being trolled: Yes

    Being accused of being a troll (and, in olden times, Joseph): Um…(Hello, is the sky blue)

    Identifying a troll: NO

    Wrongly identifying a troll: NO

    Getting a subtitle (without asking for one) Yes, unfortunately

    Getting a second subtitle: Yes, unfortunately

    Being generally known or recognized for something or other: No, not at all

    Getting an all-bold warning: Yes…

    Being rendered inactive: And YES

    Being blocked and unblocked: YES (and NO!!!)

    Proclaiming that you quit the CR: (you put that in just for me, right?)

    Coming back after said proclamation: Nope! (I’m not really here, am I?)

    Posting under a different name (against the rules, of course): How could I do such a thing? Why would such a zee.. I mean shre.. I mean Golem.. do such thing?

    Getting into a serious debate: Yes, rarely

    Being accused of apikorsus: No

    Getting into a silly debate: Yes

    The coffee room was quoted in an article in the Christian Science Monitor. If you want to see it, google christian science monitor sam2 yummy cupcake.

    The first result is an earlier thread here which mentioned it and the second result is the actual article.

    Upon further reflection, I realized that my assertion that I have not had a thread of mine deleted is incorrect. I have in fact had a thread deleted. Which also means that my total number of threads started is really 39, not 38.

    #1087985

    You have 6 deleted threads for a total of 44.

    Are you sure? Because I’m pretty sure I only had one thread deleted.

    #1087987

    They are all on record. Which one do you remember?

    I’m actually really curious now, because I have no recollection of the other five deleted threads. Can you perhaps tell me what the titles were?

    #1087990

    One was about Avraham Avinu, one was called “Coffee Room Rules”, one was called “Response to Ben Levi”, one was called “Vanishing Thread”, and one was called “Moderators Conspiracy”.

    #1087991
    Patur Aval Assur
    Participant

    Thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t counting those because I assumed that Randomex’s question was if I had had a thread that had been approved and then subsequently deleted, whereas these five were never approved in the first place.

    But once you brought them up:

    “Coffee Room Rules” “Vanishing Thread” and “Moderator’s Conspiracy” were about why a certain post was getting blocked so I can understand why those threads were not approved (we can’t have people questioning the Moderator’s authority). “Avraham Avinu”, I have no idea what that was about. Can I get a hint, perhaps?

    But “Response To Ben Levi” I am disappointed about, because we were having a geshmak debate and then the thread got closed with him having gotten the last word, and I had such a good response to post. Maybe since it’s almost a year later, (and presumably the tensions have died down) you can approve it? Especially considering that most people probably won’t even know what it’s a response to, so no harm will befall them. If you don’t want the debate to restart, you can approve my post and then immediately close the thread.

    Whew!!!!

    Do they really have a record of all my posts, deleted, edited and approved. (Is it really going to be so bad up there? Nothing gets DELETED!!)

    Could Mods produce grand totals (all s/n, including try outs) for:

    Threads created –

    Posts approved –

    Posts rejected –

    How many nasty ones –

    How many respectful ones –

    Ones outright silly (or humorous)-

    and (oh oh)

    Hours I spend here –

    Thanks Mods. (I have an extra adding machine somewhere.. You have to plug it in to 99 + 11 volts.)

    #1087993

    Patur Aval Assur, it is not always about tensions. Sometimes there are complicated Hashkafa related issues which we are not necessarily equipped to deal with.

    Little Froggie, we do not have a record of which posts were edited.

    Does being addressed by my full name mean that I’m in trouble?

    Anyway, I can understand that there were hashkafa issues with the “Response to Ben Levi” thread. Was that also the issue with the “Avraham Avinu” thread? Because I still have no recollection of what it was about.

    #1087995

    Yes to both.

    Most belated response to a post. I am baffled when I see someone make a response two minutes ago to something that was last responded to years ago.

    Having one of your threads deleted.

    I don’t know why…

    Pessimism, perhaps? (Was it ever visible?)
