I apparently said fuck 33 (34 now) times. But when I click on that badge I get a weird popup instead of a link to the comments. Similarly I apparently mentioned Rick Astley. I'm curious when I did that, but I can't find out from this site.
Neat idea but engaging with the site is a total deadend.
I gave that a go on my comments, as I suspected I mostly use the F-word indirectly (quoting from sources, paraphrasing reactions of others, etc) .. but it's interesting the algolia search fuzzy matches to "luck" and "Fukishima" etc.
This shows up as zero for me but the badge site says I've used it twice. It's pretty easy to manually check since I haven't made too many comments. I suspect the badge site is fuzzy matching since "luck" or some variation has appeared twice (now three times)
Quotes restricted it to exact whole word matches; no fuzzy matches (Fukishima) nor any "as root word" matches, F-ed, F-ing, F-ery, F-ers, etc.
As an Australian I'm not sure how I feel about one of our more expressive words being described as a bomb and singled out, but I'll take the badge with pride.
Yeah, I came to post that too, since I found some of the motivation for the badges dubious, and expected to be able to drill down to see the comments that awarded various badges.
> Throughout the episode, the profanity "shit" or "shitty" are exclaimed uncensored a total of 162 separate times; in syndicated or re-aired versions of this episode, a counter in the bottom left corner of the screen counts the number of times the word has been uttered
Apparently I said it 18 times, which doesn't seem right to me. A Google search didn't return a single example, though there were some instances in replies. Wonder if those are included.
For me it shows the "F Word!" and "Rick Roller" badges but I'm pretty sure I'm neither. It would be helpful that at least for the negative badges it would show the source.
A quick search showed that I once posted a story that has the f-word in the URL. I don't feel that justifies to be branded as an f-word user.
EDIT: Otherwise I quite like it. The idea as well as the execution!
EDIT: This reminds me of when procmail was new and shiny (a long time ago). The smart-alec I was created a rule that threw away all mails the contained the string "viagra". Of course the bytes that comprise the string were coincidentally in an important binary attachment.
Oops, now I probably gained the "Viagra User" HN badge;-) You hopefully see where the issue with a simple keyword based approach is.
This taught me that it's possible to change the colour of the header, and that I had enough Karma to do so! Now enjoying my very pink version of hacker news.
I have submitted one topic with 250+ comments and do not have a badge about it, I surprised it does not have 100 upvotes. For me a number of comments in the topics I submit is way more exciting, they are a real people telling a real things and not just some +1.
