Popular Post blackcab Posted February 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2023 My apologies about the temporary newbie status for everyone. While re-indexing is happening points, ranks and badges will not be displayed. After re-indexing, your ranks will be reinstated. In the meantime the system will award achievements as it discovers them, hence the nice surprises everyone is getting. Thank you for your patience. 2 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I always wonder how many people care about those badges. Ok, I have to admit it feels good to be in the top 1% or something like that. I just read and post because it is fun. I won't hurry to write 10 more posts to get another badge or so.

Pib Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I think I figured out what is happening Elon Musk just bought AseanNow and he thinks members with higher rank ratings get paid more and is demoting everyone to a Newbie member at minimum wage. Somebody needs to explain to Elon that AseanNow members/posters, whether a Newbie member or Grand Master member, don't get paid for their posts. Oh that Elon, he's such a penny pincher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
