Introduction:
There should be an option to turn off the Achievements. So far, there doesn't seem to be any real use for the Achievements other than fun, and for a lot of people, it's just intrusive and annoying.
Even if you try to turn off every Achievement-related thing possible, you're still going to get an announcement every time you get one, which will automatically bring up a pop-up that fills the entire screen. There's a "Don't pop up this window again" option on the pop-up, but whether it's checked off or not, it'll pop up again anyway.
The pop-up can slow down computers, or even make browsers crash entirely. If there isn't some kind of prize for the Achievements, there's not much point to getting them. If the points can be used for something later, then the points could just secretly accumulate without sending out notices.
I'm not saying Gaia should get rid of Achievements entirely; just make it so people who don't like them can opt-out of them.
Rules:
1. Follow the Terms of Service and Petitions Forum Rules & Guidelines.
2. Don't try to sign more than once (such as posting your signature more than once, using extra Gaia accounts, etc.)
3. Don't say [other person's name] also signs. You can only sign for yourself.
4. If you want to sign, say "I sign" or at least make it clear you're signing.
5. Don't send me your signatures in a PM. Just sign in this thread.
6. Don't quote the Signatures List to sign. It doesn't count as signing, even if you "add your name" to it.
