Courier Badge change?

I see what you're trying to poke at. The courier badge is a begginer's badge. It will start over when you delete all. It'll show other users you are a message freak when you get to a Gold Star. The courier badge is there for many reasons.

.

Why did you delete your inbox, anyway? It was too laggy?

.

I can understand that.

.

Stuck? Or have you just stopped messaging?

.

That's alot. But you can't say you're stuck though...

.

Let's just say, it's really hard to get this gold badge.

.

It's based on whether or not the recipient keeps the messages you send. I believe.

What we really need is for the inbox and outbox to be paginated.

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Basically you're saying combine, correct?

.

What if you have a alt account? Like you where to friend it and spam mail onto it and read them on that account. You're gurranted to not have them deleted so your corrier badge wont go down. You could spam your way up to a Awesome corrier. Though, you shouldn't make a account just for that specific use.

Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

This courier badge has me confused.

...

I have sent over 100-200 messages,still no badges ._.

Toribash- Donate TC! Send at least 500 TC to Fereldan

Most of us here understand the Courier badge wrong. According to the badge maker, the Courier badge keeps track of how many mail messages were read and not deleted (from the recipient's inbox). It should have absolutely nothing to do with one's outbox. I believe that is why outboxes receive periodic database wipes and inboxes do not. That said; there are still many cases when the quantity is tallied up incorrectly, but that is a coding issue separate from the badge's intent.

Catch my drift.

Craig- True, but I believe he stated that more so for those of which that don't understand it the correct way so to speak. As for members like RinCanFlyy evidenced by her post.

Yet, I believe it be better if The badge was only based on by how many messages you have sent and read. Not sent, read, and kept in the recievers inbox.

Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

My explanation apparently largely did not hit home. The recipient's inbox and the sender's outbox are not linked together in the sense that if someone receives a message but deletes it from their inbox, it does not affect the sender's outbox; if someone deletes a sent message from their outbox, it does not affect the recipient's inbox. Your Courier badge is controlled solely by your own activity of reading and not deleting. Sending messages does not make the Courier badge's level budge. Other people's deletion habits do not make the Courier badge's level budge.

With that said. The suggestion that the badge level be determined by sent messages rather than read messages is foolish because that would obviously make the badge incredibly easy to spam. The suggestion that the badge level not be determined by messages kept and not deleted is also ridiculous because if one follows that logic, there would be no badge decrease penalty for spamming up any badge, resulting also in fraudulent badges. (Yes, spam is more common than we may think.)

Hopefully that makes some sense.

Catch my drift.

That beacuse Hullbreach uses two different table after you send a messages it insert the from_user data into outbox that why it wont effect the inbox part.

A true developer

@Hallianne You could send thousands of messages to every member here and still have your badge never move at all. The badge has nothing to do with sending anything.

Catch my drift.

I think that's really good also l think on our 'Mails' we should have a delete all button.

Never fear or the fear,fears you!

On my old Zion123 account:
