Thanks @tiwane ! Good to know stuff like this should go in Forum Feedback.

[image] cs16-levi: Something I noticed when checking out the badge was that it hasn’t been given since May … I received the Reader badge on December 19, 2023, and people are in fact still presently getting it. One was granted on March 13. See Badges: Reader for a list of recipients.

part of me finds this issue interesting Hahaha, the reason I posted this was in fact because I thought it was interesting. The tech nerd part of me, and possibly those of a few others here, would be interested in learning of how this works out for you. :slight_smile: I’ve just done so and mad…

Hmmm … I just noticed what seems to be a gap in the sequence of URLs in the thread of interest. Try visiting this address: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/beware-ai-images-on-inat/44346/5 Note that there is a post number 4 and a post number 6.
