Poll Maker Badge Suggestion
I made a post about this a while ago, but I thought it would be a great time to refresh the idea. I think the poll maker badge should be attributed from number of polls rather than from number of votes.
As it stands, it is possible that no new poll author gets the badge. All the authors who are close to 100k votes are retired or semi-retired. @GabrielFox is the author who gained the most votes in 2024. But, he is still 47k votes from the badge. That is almost two years.
It is also worth noting that with the current popularity of polls, it is way harder to get the badge than originally intended. At GabrielFox's rate, it would take someone 510 polls to achieve 100 000 votes (only 6 authors have more polls than that).
Anyway, I know it is not a priority. But, I think it would be nice to update the poll maker badge to reflect the reality. Offering the badge to authors with more than 100 polls would be my suggestion.

I couldn't agree more. I think 50 polls is a reasonable number that requires a bit a work to achieve and might be a comparable midpoint to what it took previous pollmakers on average to earn their badges.
