Did you remove the notification for getting a badge?

With the re-introduction of the Prediction League (and with @kirby007 insisting!!), I figured it might be a good time to educate the community as to how exactly you can earn VG$ (the currency used for all League activities). The majority of your VG$ are generated through game database contributions (right now, this is actually the only way to earn them). The following is a break-down of the VG$ you can earn, based upon the type of database submission:

 - New game added: $1.50
 - Banner added: $2.50
 - Boxart added: $2.00
 - Summary added: $4.50
 - Release Date added: $.75
 - Game information updated:
      - Alternate Name added (Japan, PAL, NA): $.75 each
      - Genre updated: $.50
      - Developer updated: $.75
      - Game rating added (CERO, PEGI, ESRB): $.50 each
 - Screenshot added: $.50 each
 - Extras added (Trophy, Achievement, etc.): $.50
 - Cheats added (Maps, Passwords, Walkthroughs, etc.): $1.50
 - FAQs added: $.25 + proceeds from FAQs purchased by community
 - Critic Review added: $1.00

There will be additional opportunities made available for earning VG$, but these are the only ways available today (beyond the initial $1000 you are given at sign-up). If you have any questions regarding how to submit any of the above, feel free to read up on the excellent Database Tutorial assembled by @versusevil and @vgpolyglot - I will update this thread as new features are added. In the meantime, feel free to keep banging away at our game database!!!!

 

Note: Please keep in mind that any attempt to "game" the system in order to generate additional VG$, will not be looked upon very favorably and could quickly lead to your being banned from any future database submissions. We absolutely want (and continue to encourage!!) our community to take part in helping build our game database - but we will not tolerate any abuse, for the sole sake of trying to increase your VG$. Thanks!!

What is VG$ for other than wagering in the prediction league?

I got tons of badges about not having been banned, fancy and all... but why do I got badges for not being banned in 5 and 10 years when my account is only 2 years old? Might need to finetune that a bit.

Also, the 10 years not banned badge had been awarded twice.

Edit: seems like it got corrected now just after I posted this.

LOL!! Yeah - didn't think you'd score those THAT easy, did ya??? 

Nah, and wouldn't have wanted it, either.

Going 2 years and counting without any ban is pretty good already here, all things considered.

13 new badges, from not being banned and the games in my collection. Not bad.

Thanks, guys.

Speaking of the badges, when I click on the badges in the notifications, instead of bringing me to the list of my badges in my profile it sends me to the gamrconnect entry page (gamrconnect.vgchartz.com)

Sorry if I sound like someone who's complaining too much

I feel like it is easy to get the ban-related badges - with inactivity. Probably not something a forum encourages. I think connecting it to activity is more like it, something like 1000 posts without getting banned. Or a combination: at least a year and 1000 posts without getting banned.
