Achievement Stamp - Stamp for crossing certain number of words used in a letter
Mr. Dud
Like me, i have seen lots of people love writing long letters. So, this stamp is for those people who regularly writes long letters. We can have different limits like crossing 1000+ words in 3+ letters, 2500 words in 2+ letters and 4000+ words in 1 letter.
Sounds interesting, right?
This will motivate people to write more and it'll be worth for people like me who writes long letters 😅
Hope you guys like this idea. Looking forward for it. Thanks in advance!

Achievement stamps for writing a certain number of letters or length of letter!

There was already a hidden achievement "Golden Pencil" (now cancelled). Vote for its return.

Александр П., Yes, that was a wonderful stamp and it's sadly missed.
I wrote a Blog post in November 2020 about it - '
The famous 'Golden Pencil', now vanishing.
😕Would love to see it return, although Slowly team probably removed it to save on their server costs - it had to be monitoring ALL posts from all users, everyday, to pick the one single letter that got the award.
I believe it could return, maybe as a special award for an outstanding piece of writing - for example a submitted and published 'Slowly Stories'.
The never disclosed algorithm used by the Golden Pencil was a lot more complex than the simple threshold word counts suggested by Mr. Dud. I fear a simple word count could be easily 'gamed' with copy and paste, sadly.
Mr. Dud
Александр П.: Was there? And how was it supposed to be unlocked? How do you know? I have been here for around 2 years and never got any achievement even though I usually write long letters. So, I believe it was not for length or word count at least. Shed some light on it if you know.
Btw, definitely should vote to return that achievement. And thanks for the information :)
Mr. Dud
Yann2: As a developer and engineer, well yeah, I agreed that it can be challenging to prevent copy paste method and I realised that before as well, but as it will be a hidden achievement and I have given the basic idea of the criteria, they can fine tune it more or add few more complexities to make it work maybe.
As a long letter writer, I would just love to get some achievement, that's it tbh 😅
So yeah, looking forward to see what they come up with or if they come up with anything at all 🤞🏻

Yann2: I quite understand the reasons for removing this achievement. But perhaps the developers will decide to bring it back as a personal, rather than universal achievement? (Savings on brand design.) For example, for writing X letters longer than X in a month.
About scoring. Virtually all achievements can be scaled. Exceptions translator and shopping. But is it worth the trouble to fight this? There are no ratings here.
Александр П.
Mr. Dud: The Golden Pencil was a hidden achievement based on the entire total rating for the day. The exact algorithm is not known.
