You go to more options with the three dots on top of the awards request thread, search under "who replied" and put your username!!

I searched for yours and the last post count was 4600

Hello! I have a few questions regarding some badges that I owned and were deleted (because they didn't have enough keepers I'm guessing):


- Weki Meki Suyeon; the only Weki Meki member to be deleted (Ki-Lings of this site I am judging you all for real; I was the only one keeping her it seems smh), how would I proceed if I wanted her badge back? Can I just, I don't know, just ask for it to be added again (I have the badge saved if needed lmao) or do I need to host a badge thread just for her badge alone with the same process as usual and all that?

- Stray Kids Felix; same case as above but I guess this is different since well all the members were also deleted (lmao), for this, we would just need to host the thread for all the individual members again and do the usual steps right? (I still don't know why no one showed up and kept the members as promised but-)

- Actor Han Gichan / Kingdom Hearts Aqua; these two were added through the normal Awards Season threads of actors and characters; is there any plan to re-host those again anytime soon or should I just buy the two forms from the shop and just host their badge threads separately (and if that's the case, I could just suggest again the previous badges right?)


I hope all that made sense lol; thanks!

Hey, we discussed this and came to this conclusion:

Regarding member badges, users can either decide to create a new regular badge thread solely for any members who do not have existing badges in the system or create their badge at the same time as updating other members' badges during awards season if other badges for the group members exist already - this can happen all in the same thread if the fandom prefers, so that everything can be together. We plan to host awards season soon, so if you would like to wait until then it's fine but you can also create a new voting thread today. As for the actors/character badges, you can either wait until awards season (probably a month or two) or you can use the awards form from Shop+ to host the badge threads. You can use the same badges that were previously voted on, but for transparency reasons it should be voted on again just in case there is new material.

We are aware of the ''problem'' regarding some users who promised to keep badges but never requested them, from now on we will monitor this a lot more than previously. We cannot and will not force people to request badges but if a user repeatedly don't keep badges after a certain amount of time there may be repercussions.

Oooh I see!

Since Awards Season should be soonish then I can just wait to re-add Suyeon's with the others when hosting the Weki Meki thread in there (not that Fantagio is planning to release anything anytime soon anyways so-). As for he actors/characters, since you told me it's in a month (or two lol), I can wait for them and try my best there indeed. Thanks for the info!

Yeah it would be nice if the whole keeper thing had actual repercussions because I spent a lot of time (and effort tbh) in hosting Stray Kids' badges just for them to well...be stray indeed lmao. I don't know if I have the motivation to host for them all again from scratch just for them to be ignored and deleted again soonish so we'll see.

Anyways thanks for all the hard work and for answering my questions!

You should have a PM somewhere with @sm maid and @Idol Killer I believe where they keep track of your VIP+ badge perks! You can just message them through that and they will let us know when you're ready to update the badges + what badges you chose

I'm interested in hosting a badge thread but i'm kind of confused on the process...
- Are awards threads only allowed to be hosted/started during award season?
- If they are allowed to be made year round, is the first step to make a thread asking if anyone else is interested in the badges and getting 2 keepers per member/badge?

1. If the badges don't already exist in the system, a thread can be made at any time! Awards Season is mainly for updating the photos of existing badges.
2. You can make a thread to check for interest if you'd like before committing to making an awards thread, but that's entirely optional! You can also try posting in the official artist thread(s) if any exist for the badges you're interested in getting made. You can just collect the badge keepers in the awards thread itself if you skip an interest thread (users will post and let you know if they're interested in being keepers).

Hi

Sorry if this is a silly question or if it's worded weirdly but if I request to remove all badges or some badges, when I request badges again do I carry on from the last number of posts I requested for (e.g. for 3500 posts), or will I start from the beginning (e.g. 25 posts) or however many badges I removed (e.g. I removed 4 badges so I go back 100 posts)?

Hi! If you remove all badges you can start from scratch, so 25 posts. If you remove some badges you can either go back to 25 posts or the last number you claimed badges for. The general idea is that the badges you have are attached to a tier of posts so I think it could be easier to just do it like this in case there's any issues - so the badge you claimed for 200 posts stay as a badge claimed for 200 posts, if you get what I mean. If the badges you wanna keep are for 25, 50, or 75 posts for example you can just carry on from the next tier. Hope this makes sense

Yep, that makes sense, thank you Mina!

I have a few questions:
- who can vote on voting threads? The whole forum or only the keepers? (/supporters)
- is the person hosting the thread allowed to vote?
- how does double voting work?

1. All users are allowed to vote, including the thread OP if they'd like to
2. Sometimes thread OPs prefer to give the people who are keeping (or will be keeping) badge +1 extra vote since they'll be the users who own/display the badge and they might want their opinion to weigh slightly more because of that - sometimes it can also help prevent ties in voting!

How do I request an award?
Once you reach certain post thresholds you can begin to request awards.
Your first one can be requested at 25 posts and will increase by 25 each time (so your second badge can be requested at 50 posts, third badge can be requested at 75 posts, and so on).

did this change? bc last time i did this it was every 100 posts after your first 100
