With the recent edition of cycles and Replit looking into good ways to be able to give them out for free without it being too easy.
I think if you reach a certain achievement here whether it’s x number of solutions, x TL received, x replies made, or something else you receive some cycles. The harder the achievement is to reach the more cycles you receive.
For example, let’s say you get the badge for making at least one post each month for the year. You could receive 25 cycles. If you got to 25 solutions you can receive 150 cycles. If you have posted 1k times (not including deleted posts) you could receive 300 cycles.
I’m just throwing ideas and numbers out there and they are not based on anything.
I actually got an idea:
What if the Solution badges could grant you Cycles? It’s not everyday that people get Guidance Counselor or Know-it-all, so it’ll be easier for mods to keep track amd award Cycles.
E.g. S=1C, GC=10C, KIA=40C, SI=150C
I’m very up for this feature, I would love it if this came out!
…can we finally get cycles as a reward for contributing to the forums? I’m not paying for them especially with the predatory subscription overhaul and the removal of the education version.
Yes but you can by Core with cycles so they still have a use. Imagin if I wasn’t a mod or didn’t get core from being a mod. I could spend all the cycles I get from here on Core and use it a lot (Maxing everything out) it wouldn’t be good for Replit
It’s not like they don’t get anything out of it. It would encourage more people to contribute to Ask. You’ve earned your reward (in this case it’s free Core but still you’ve worked hard for it).
