Today I noticed that a "10 countries" badge had been attached to my profile (I think I was able to remove it). I have never bothered to count countries, so I don't know if I deserve that badge, but I'm a little curious about how FT knows.

Honor system. Why would we need to lie to others in FlyerTalk?

They appear to unlock once you make a post. I experienced the same thing and they allowed editing as soon as I posted here saying I couldn’t change anything.

Small update to the Tampermonkey script. The infinite scroll loads the images with a relative URL (whereas the original page load is with an absolute URL).
Code:
// ==UserScript== |
Nice monkey script :-). I really do not care about badges, I am here for the content (in cases the lack thereof). But I added some just to fill in the dead-space. My suggestion (and was already suggested) for the badge hiding is to make the fill color the same as the background color.
As for the country badge, I also agree with others that additional limits would be nice. Of course the ultimate badge would be letting users create their own (kinda adding a profile picture). |

Hi everyone!
We're very happy to launch our latest feature: Badges. These are viewable in both desktop and mobile skin and signify your personal accomplishments in the world of travel. While some, like your time on FlyerTalk, are automatically assigned, others are on the "honor system" and you may assign the travel badge that best corresponds to your milestones at your leisure. We have more in the works! I'd love it if we could design and upload our own custom badges. Would be more interesting than seeing how many countries someone's visited. Of course all the normal TOS would apply. Thanks for considering. |
Add me to the camp of ”contribution badges” instead of ”bragging badges”

I’ve been to over 50 countries, and my badge only has 10 countries. And, my profile indicates UA 1MM, yet I don’t have a MM badge How does the Flyertalk bot come up with the data for the badges? I couldn’t figure out how to fix this.

Interesting idea. I'd suggest that you may need to add higher options for the countries visited badge, I am far from the most widely travelled Flyertalker and have hit the badge limit at 50.

Not to brag, but I've visited 867 countries. How do I load up the badge for that?

I find it funny that people would display ALL the 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 countries badges concurrently, which is quite senseless. Can these be made exclusive, as in, you can only select and display ONE of them at any one time?
