No, IMO. The probability to get accepted in campaigns, especially high-paid ones that are competitive depends on some factors:
- Average post quality.
- Overal net-effects: should be positive (post quality is only one of them). Contribution in the art contest is only one of them but it is a minor one. Because it is in short term while net-effect is for long-term.
- Trust flags history.
I agree. Art badges seem like there is nothing to do with that. The track record of the user and his post quality will determine to be accepted or not.
If the Art badge is temporary, theymos would have not added in the forum, if you take into consideration when it happened, not within the period for April Fool.
Makes sense! But will be clearer if theymos explains a bit. Since no clues related to the time period of the badge use, we only can speculate [guess].
even a high school kid could tell you that in a flash.
Really! Sorry, I doubt it..
People are reacting to your loaded question because it sounds a bit malicious in intent, why would you even question whether the art badges are permanent or not,
A bit malicious in intent?? How can?? It is an honest question and I have no intention to underestimate anyone.
I'm a typical person who prefers to ask than guessing. So, let's think positively. Asking is everyone's right..
