Welcome everyone! If you found this thread you have probably already used, or at least heard of /u/badgebot.

Way back in November of 2009 I had a chat with another redditor and helped them decide to quit smoking, which led to /r/stopsmoking being born. This event catalyzed something far greater than I ever expected — a motivational tool used by thousands in their journey towards self-improvement!

It wasn't long before the idea caught on, and soon badgebot was dishing out badges in other communities like /r/stopdrinking and /r/NoFap. Today, badgebot averages about 2000 badge requests per day across the communities it serves. You can browse them all at once with this multi.

What amazes me the most, though, is the support, advice, and compassion these self-improvement subreddits inspire. The real heroes are you, the community members who embrace each other and help get us back on our paths when we stray.

So let's chat! I'd love to answer any questions you may have, or listen to your thoughts, experiences, and ideas about badgebot or any of the subreddits using the badge system.
