   Just checked out the new feature, "Accolades" in my profile page. Didn't even notice it at first until I jumped into this forum.  Love it. Makes me feel proud of my small achievement and feel a lot guilty for being away for a while. Many thanks HP!

   Can we not use the Useful, Funny, Awesome, Beautiful feedback? Like is there a way to hide that so it can't be seen by anyone. It's silly. What is it's voted Useful and it's supposed to be Funny?
   
   Why not just have "Did you find this page helpful?" Like most websites have?

      You can hide the summary of your Hub feedback on your profile by editing the settings on your profile. However, you cannot hide the useful/funny/awesome/beautiful buttons on your Hubs.
      
      I think that the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons serve the same purpose as "Did you find this page helpful?" We think that useful/funny/awesome/beautiful are a fun and interesting addition to thumbs up and thumbs down.

         But we can't  see whether or not people found the hub useful, so what good is it to us to have the thumbs up/down if we can't see the results? We can see if someone finds a serious hub funny, but not if someone finds it useful.
         
         i still find this feature unnecessary.
         
         is there a way to option out of it being on the hubs, not just on the profile?

            "Useful" is one of the 4 descriptors that visitors can select, and that you'll see the numbers for.

               Yes, but the thumbs up and down also tell whether or not the hub is 'useful' or not. Why have both? Why have one we can't even see results on? Is it just for hubpages benefit? How is the thumbs up/down supposed to benefit if we can't see. It's just redundant to have both.
               
               I guess I'm just not a fan of the feature. Why would someone think something serious is funny, or something funny beautiful? Useful or not, is probably the best way to rate a page; that seems to be the universal rating on nearly every article site I've seen. Even Google implements in on their FAQ pages- did this answer your question yes/no? There's not a was the answer awesome option?
               
               Guess I'm just old school, so to speak.

   Hey Jaymz, just curious if you are that insecure about yourself or your work? If someone rates your stuff useful, but it was suppose to be funny, Does that not tell you something is wrong?
   
   What difference does it matter if it is displayed where people can see it? Then again, what you see versus what other people see on your hubs is not always the same(i.e., IP addresses are only shown to you and not others).
   
   But, that's just my thoughts. Not my intention to offend, just learn.

    And, on another note... "Did you find this page helpful?" Like most websites have? Would the be MAIN reason for not doing it, like everyone else.
    
    Why be the same?? Is unique or different always better? Makes one stand out, instead of being lost in the mix. Again, just my thoughts.

    This is a cool new feature, thanks.
    
    I don't think most readers will ever see our accolades as many probably never read our profile page beside other hubbers. Could this be added to each hub, or maybe accolades specific to each hub? I imagine it would take up a very small amount of space. If anything this just may encourage readers to check out our other hubs, especially if it linked to our profile somehow. A sticky web site is good.

          does anyone else have far fewer hubs listed in their accolades?

             Yes, it only counts the number of Hubs when you have reached milestones. Right now, the milestones are 10/50/100/300/500/1000/2000/5000/10000 Hubs.
             
             A list of milestones is available on the FAQ.

       The accolades are automatically awarded.
       
       You are asking about the "helpful Hubber" accolade. "Helpfulness" is a fuzzy concept, but basically we are interested in whether you are significantly helping the community in one or more ways.  It doesn't count all forum participation, only participation in forums where you are directly helping new Hubbers.

          Hmm.. So how is helping hubbers within forums and helping moderators by flagging related? Is it just helping?
          
          Also, how do you know what accolade is what? I don't show the names of each just the descriptions.
          
          And, how do we know what hubs got what description? Funny, beautiful, etc. I don't know what hubs I have that would be marked as 'beautiful,' so it'd be interesting to see. I don't have any that were written with beauty in mind. I'd rather just see whether the hub was useful or not; I don't care about funny, beautiful, or awesome. Makes more since to know if the hub was helpful.
          
          Ooo, and does the traffic accolade increase, or does it just stop at 1 million views?

             The "helpful Hubber" accolade is just what we have been calling it here in the HubPages office, but the accolades don't have official names. And yes, I suppose "helping" is all that flagging and forum help have in common.
             
             You can see what types of praise (useful/funny/etc.) each Hub has received by scrolling down to the praise buttons just above the comments. We might eventually build a single page where you can see at a glance which Hubs have received which praise, without having to go to each Hub individually (but that doesn't exist yet).
             
             There are accolades for 10 million and 100 million Hub views. See the FAQ for a complete list.

                It would be interesting to have all the praises for each hub on one page. I'm not going to each hub individually to check it out. Not really worth my time or interest, so one page would be nice (although I'm still not a fan of letting people judge my work with how they think it is to be intended. IE if it's not meant to be funny, it shouldn't be voted as funny.)
                
                Is there a forum accolade for just participation? What accolades can we earn?
                
                Thanks I didn't realize there was already a tier, so to speak.
