I want to start a guide and a little bragging spot to showing off and how one gets badges. We are the Forum Badge Hunters Club (FBHC)
I’m super stoked about this one! Who would have thought insomnia would pay off? 
The way yo get it is you have to pay attention to when your hearts come back. You get 50 a day but can only use so many at one time.
Community is what builds forums nice add @_j and thank you for joining in on the fun!
“Safe fun sustainable for everyone “ kicks butt
I am still a huge fan of badge hunting. I feel if folks focus on badges and not level they will be incredible community members 
That is one I’ll never get my first couple months in forum was odd… I got a ton of flags 
Every post I did until August 30 2024 was removed by community flags so I have only been posting about two months haha.
I joined Jun 4 2024
There should be a badge for flags… although that might encourage bratty behaviour? On the other hand – we are all adults (I assume).
As adults we should follow all rules ever all of the time. 
See, I think, what’s missing in this forum is some kinda “General Forum”, or “Lounge” space, where we can no-life-post random stuff all day…
The only issue I can see is this…
I found this place via web search, and if it is full of random topics that aren’t related to OpenAI and LLMs, it might be a loss to users who need help working with the API, or who have questions about ChatGPT!
Is it possible to close off a space from Google, Bing, DuckDuck, Ecosia, and such, like so it won’t show up in search results? 
No what it is, is a basic user gets auto removed if flagged… and someone flagged everything I did no matter its topic… once I made it to member it stopped and now I am a regular.
I did not break rules back then either but any topic flagged and if your a basic user the system hides it. We all can’t be as on topic as you @proxy
But for a solid 2 months I was not able to post…
I am also pretty sure who was doing it but nothing like this Truely bugs me…
OMG. You are the flag king! 
I found this by the way:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
You can hide a whole forum section from the searches!1
It is trust levels. If members flag a basic user the system automatically removes a basic users posts…
We have unlisted catagories they are still web searchable…
How is searching confusing? Copy paste errors into search. The biggest issue IMO is users don’t use search … I answer same questions everyday… OpenAI goes down no one checks the down site they just post…
I mean when you use a web search. I didn’t even know this category existed… I’m still learning how to use this forum.
Yes I know you can also search with a gpt4o
Oooh… so this does exist. Just not for me… boys only club? 
You know what? I’ll build my own treehouse, and everyone is welcome to join me in it – including machines!
Lounge is not a secret it is lvl 3 + chat. It’s not a “boys” club it is lvl 3+ so they can chat about forum management…
Read this it explains
I am confused we are no longer talking about your new user of the month badge… I will never get it because I had a user trying to keep me from posting. At least if you tried you can make level 3 and join lounge and talk about forum posts and other forum management…
You too can do free IT 
It was just a joke, don’t worry, Mitch. 
(Might build a treehouse anyway. Can never be enough treehouses.)
