Do ACCOLADES give you an incentive to become more active here at hubpages?
Do ACCOLADES give you an incentive to become more active here at hubpages? Do you like having goals and achieving them?
I have most of them already so not much point in making goals to achieve them I do think they can serve as an incentive for people to participate more in the HubPages community. In the end, if you're here to earn money then they don't really matter though.
I would have thought that the accolades are more of an indication of what your fellow Hubbers think of you and what you write rather than anything else.

My goals are set based on real-world achievements, not virtual medals. That's why I have my Accolades turned off so no one sees them on my profile.
No, not for me. Little icons on my profile don't really mean much. It doesn't pay the bills.

What milestones have you set for your hubbing?I decided to write hubs as a way to relieve tension. Just sitting down and writing something that is not class related is relaxing. Then I decided that I really like what I'm doing so I started to set goals for myself. Increasing my followers from 18 to...

Now, I'm not asking which have helped you the most, but rather, which hubbers do you believe have had the most influence on you here - good, bad, or otherwise.
