About "Missions"

Dear SCN,

I have been observing "Missions" under "Reputation" tab for a while. Why the secrets of "Missions" have to be shown to SCN Users?

Since these are shown, there is a chance of getting driven only by the Quantity not by Quality. I don't say everyone is running after Quantity, but some are..

For me, I like surprises. If SCN awards some points as bonus for getting qualified as per the Mission criteria, then SCN will be full of surprises and makes life more interesting.

This is What I feel..

I am expecting your opinions too now..

Regards,

Suman

Hi everyone,

You can think of badge missions as a way to do 2 things:

- Encourage a certain activity or behavior: it's an open debate whether we should be open and transparent, and share all the requirements - this is what pure gamification is - or whether we should be vague or hide certain things in order to prevent abusive behaviors. There is no right or wrong answer, just a lively debate 🙂

- Reward special achievements: in these cases we can hide missions/badges so that when someone receives them it's a nice surprise. Hiding missions is also a way to reward altruistic behavior, but of course once the badge is out for the first time the news will spread 😉

Hi Laure Cetin ,

Hope you have gone through all replies My idea in raising this post for the debate purpose only.I would like to thank you for supporting and initiating a lively debate.

As I said in initial post, I am looking for surprises in SCN. People should not be able to predict What are they going to get . This creates lot of curiosity among all and makes SCN more precious.

Regards,

Suman
