When did all the review-stats get cleared? From the numbers maybe some time last year? There had been a few review badges left that I just now decided I should try to work toward --- but now I see all my review counts are down in very small numbers. What happened?
@Khallil If you have questions, they're best placed on the main site, where there are (a) better tools for formatting questions, (b) more people to see your question, and (c) other people with similar issues can find answers to your questions.
@whuber re stats.stackexchange.com/questions/561409/… -- I told the OP the same thing (I think it was word for word the same as what you wrote there) a day or so back on another site but it didn't seem to register.
@Glen_b You now get a gold badge for every 500 reviews, then it resets ad infinitum for as many badges as you want. Evidently the powers that be really, really want us to use the review queues...
Is there any way I can draw additional attention to a question I've posted on Cross Validated? I know the bounty system kicks in after 48 hours, but I don't have enough reputation to set a bounty.
@whuber Thanks for clarifying. The problem I have is that all my pre-existing progress toward those badges has gone away (everything reset no matter how far along it was). If after a decade or so of using the site I go from say 400 reviews in one category to 0, ... that's not an incentive but a Sisyphian disincentive.
I might do the odd review in those categories to help out, but I'd be giving up on ever getting a gold badge on the rarer categories now.
