Help! I keep losing an accolade!

1. 0

   ExoticHippieQueenposted 12 years ago

   Last week, I woke up to find 1 of my 9 accolades missing.  I contacted the team at Hubpages, and they responded by saying that it seems to be there now.  Yep. It came back, so I had nine.
   
   Woke up today to find my 9th accolade missing again.  What is going on? Anybody else have this problem ever?

      Check under your keyboard. I usually find it there.

      I don't know and I honestly couldn't care less.  Accolades are only there to feed the Hubber's ego, they don't do anything to improve your readership or earn extra income.  I don't even know which ones I've got.

         Well..., they let other Hubbers know if you are awesome.
         
         I just checked yours. 1M is not bad!

            I use them as part of my judgment as to whether to follow someone.  They are sonetimes helpful.

      Yes.  It was the hubber community accolade.  It seemed to appear and disappear at random for a couple of months, regardless of my hub-hopping or comments in the forums.  But it's been back now for a few weeks without disappearing.  I suppose I've hit the required activity level for it to stick around, if not permanently, then at least for a while.

   Certain accolades take repeated participation in order for you to keep them.

         In the second row, I have one that you don't. It's the adorability one. To attain this one, you must become as lovable as I am.

               I immediately thought of an excellent answer to that. Namely to check a certain person's profile. If that accolade existed, it would definitely show up there. However, it's too early in the year to start another cat-fight.

   Jeez, I skip the forums for a day-and-a-half and HP rips off one of my accolades. It was my be-nice-to-others accolade. Tough town, tough town.
   
   I guess I'm going to have to go find someone to be nice to.

               You know, I've done some HubHopping lately, which I suppose is part of that accolade, but I am having a hard time because I really feel that I'm too damn critical.
               
               I see lots of stuff that I just skip by - it isn't good, but it isn't really bad and I just can't figure out what to say.  Then there are all these "business card" hubs that are plainly promoting a business and again they aren't necessarily "bad" but I'm not sure they belong HERE.
               
               I see so much stuff that I really think is substandard, but I'm not sure it is by HP's standards and as they refuse to give much guidance on those issues (and yeah, I know that's hard to do) I get discouraged and quit..  I don't want to add to staff's burden by flagging dozens and dozens of hubs that they are going to say are fine.. aarrgh!

                           Nah, this was the lovability accolade that they took away again. We were both good little forum Hubbers today, and this is how we are rewarded? I guess I'll go write some more hubs instead.

                  I feel exactly the same way about hub hopping. If a hub is obviously spun I will flag it, but otherwise, if it's not engaging or if it's written poorly, I don't know what to do and just go to the next one. I don't have the heart to vote a hub down. I end up skipping many of them.

   I kinda like the accolades... they are something to keep me motivated.  Within the next couple weeks I should be getting the one year, the 50 hubs, and the 10k views ones.  It gives me a little glow... (I'm pathetic... I know)

         The glow there was from being outside in the late fall running after the small one.

    I have one that has been coming and going for the entire time I have been here. I have finally decided, after extensive investigation, that it has to do with whether the hubpage computer is in a good mood or a bad mood.
