Getting Medals for Getting most favorited, top viewed and more
I think that you should be able to get awards for different things in scratch. The medals would be on a user's my stuff page, and close to the "Add to favorites" button on a project. Here are some ideas:
On project:
-Getting on "Featured Projects"
-Getting on "Top Loved Lately"
-Getting on "Top Downloaded Lately"
-Getting on "Top Viewed Lately"
-Getting 10+ "Love it"s
-Getting 50+ "Love it's
-Getting 100+ "Love it"s
-Getting 500+ "Love it's
-Getting 10+ "Download"s
-Getting 50+ "Download"s
-Getting 10+ "View"s
-Getting 50+ "View"s
-Getting 100+ "View"s
-Getting 500+ "View's
-Getting 1000+ "View"s
-Getting 2500+ "View"s
-Getting 5000+ "View"s
-Getting 7500+ "View"s
-Getting 10000+ "View"s
On user:
-Getting Total 100+ "View"s
-Getting Total 500+ "View"s
-Getting Total 1000+ "View"s
-Getting Total 5000+ "View"s
-Getting Total 10000+ "View"s
-Getting Total 12500+ "View"s
-Getting Total 15000+ "View"s
-Getting Total 17500+ "View"s
-Getting Total 20000+ "View"s
-Getting Total 100+ "Download"s
-Getting Total 500+ "Download"s
-Getting Total 1000+ "Download"s
-Getting Total 250+ "Love it"s
-Getting Total 500+ "Love it"s
-Getting Total 1000+ "Love it's
-Getting 1 project on "Featured Projects"
-Getting 5 project on "Featured Projects"
-Getting 10 project on "Featured Projects"
-Getting 1 project on "Top Loved Lately"
-Getting 5 project on "Top Loved Lately"
-Getting 10 project on "Top Loved Lately"

That's all. Tell me if you have any other ideas. I might add it to the list.

Re: Getting Medals for Getting most favorited, top viewed and more
this is a good idea because it drives the scratchers to get that award, and it also makes younger or begginer scratchers feel good if they get one of these.

Ya. It makes the people have a goal. Plus it shows what they've done with having to look at each single project. Even though archmage will have over 50 medals probably.

Re: Getting Medals for Getting most favorited, top viewed and more
I don't think that users should get a medal. Most people on this site are beginners who are new to programming. Maybe projects could have a special picture in the project's page that indicates that it was on the frontpage at one time.
Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

Re: Getting Medals for Getting most favorited, top viewed and more
I fully support this idea. It'll make new users feel like they accomplished something if they get a medal and motivate them to make more projects. Good projects will also get more publicity this way. It also lets people who feel that Scratch is getting boring strive for something and have a goal.
Of course, the only problem would be integrating this system so that all past projects are given medals...is it tracked in the Scratch database if a project gets into Top Loved/Viewed/Downloaded Lately?

Lanie, you would only have 8 medals? ok, I would have . . . . oh why bother counting. I would have a bit. But archmage, you do have a point, but its something you will be able to admire and this way you would have a goal to do.

Re: Getting Medals for Getting most favorited, top viewed and more
I can see what you are saying, but I can also see what Archmage is saying. I'd like to see what a Scratch Team member thinks about this.
