Update For Regular Content Creators - New Yearly Author Badge

Since its creation, the HiveBuzz project has aimed to support users' engagement on the Hive platform. With this in mind, we created two badges that reward those who are committed and publish their posts on a regular basis:

The Weekly Author

This badge is awarded to regular authors. You can earn this badge each time you publish a post every day of the week.

The Monthly Author

This badge is awarded to very regular authors. You can earn this badge each time you publish a post every day of the month.

New Yearly Author Badge

Many have asked us for it. It is now ready for next year.

This is a badge that will be difficult to earn and which will require unfailing commitment. According to our statistics, only a few Hive users could claim to deserve it.

But, to keep everyone on the same starting line and although the badge is already visible on your board, HiveBuzz will only track your posts from the January 1, 2023.

On your marks! Get ready for next year and get your best posts out of the way because a year is a long time and the slightest oversight will deprive you of this reward.

Remember we use UTC

To find out if you are entitled to receive a Yearly Author badge and validate when you published your post, Hivebuzz uses the time of the blockchain which is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)!

If you post at the wrong time, i.e. taking into account your local time or way of considering weeks, you may miss both badges and will have to wait till the next Monday or month to be able to earn your coveted badge.

These particularities in the validation rules have led to many users contacting us to ask us why they have not received their badges.

Track your progress

To help authors know if they're still on track to earn their awards, there are progress indicators below each of these badges:

They will let you know how many days you published a post this week, month, or year.

If the gauge is green, it indicates that you are on your way to earning the badge. If the gauge is red, it means you missed one or more days, or you still haven't posted today.

Good luck to everyone with this new challenge. We are curious to see how many users will be regular enough and will manage to obtain this reward.

We wish you all a Happy New Year!

Stay committed!

Awesome!

I've included this in the latest issue of Cryptocracy.

Also on the Hive blockchain: https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@allentaylor/will-2023-be-the-year

Thank you for all your encouragement @hivebuzz. The Yearly badge is surely going to be one big challenge, but it's going to be fun chasing it :-)
@lesmann(74)· 1323d
Thank You and You know I will try!
@stayoutoftherz(80)· 1324d
This yearly badge disadvantages posters that care more about quality vs. quantity. So only regular shitposters will "earn" this badge. Better would have been IMO a combination like with PUM, post or power up min. 1 Hive.
@pegarissimo(67)· 1324d
Oh, a new badge :-), this could be a nice goal for the year 2023 (not an easy one, but a great one!)
@jpatrick28(61)· 1324d

These are great. Everyone always likes to be able to "achieve" things. Even if they don't have any practical value, they are still important measuring sticks we all can use to see our progress so thank you for creating them and keeping them out there.

That said, I'm wondering how difficult it would be to maybe add another set of badges for comments? It would be nice if there could be badges for maybe 1 comment a day and 10 comments a day (maybe even 50 or 100 comments in a day) and then the "streak" badges to go along with them.

Hive is basically built on engagement and comments are a vital component to that. Not everyone can post new articles every day, but most of us can at least find the time to engage. I would also argue that achieving a "365" badge for commenting would be even more difficult than the posting badge. You can write posts whenever you want and schedule them to be released on a daily basis. Commenting needs to actually be done each and every day.

I know this is Dec 30th and, not being a coder, I have no idea how difficult it would be to add these, but it would be great if you could get them set up for the new year. lol

Keep up the great work!

Maybe some badges for comments as well considering you state it's for users' engagement? :P
@ifarmgirl(79)· 1325d

That's something impossible to do. I'm curious about who got this badge or we will get it first. My guess @daltono will be the first one 😂
@borsengelaber(76)· 1325d
Wow, that yearly badge will be very hard to get! But good idea! 💯
@stevenson7(73)· 1325d
Wow, that would take an incredible level of commitment to publish every day of the year, high quality post 🥹

Whoever wins this deserves an award.
