Venue Categories + Badge Requirements = win
Create broad categories for venues ("Restaurant", "Bar", "Club", "Store", "Office", "Residence", etc.) and use these categories for requirements on some badges. I'm suggesting this because I got the "Crunked" badge after checking into Target one night. Perhaps only allow "Bar" and maybe "Restaurant" check-ins to count toward getting that badge, since few people will be getting crunk at stores or offices, etc. :)
I’m silly

Inappropriate?Makes sense. I think that's part of the reason there are tags though. The crunked badge just needs to be limited to venues tagged bar. Plus, peeps need to tag. -
Inappropriate?True, though, with the fixed categories, there would be less room for error than when using human-entered free-form tags.
I’m happy

Ah gotcha. Yes, just a few fixed categories would help. I would make them fairly broad so they would be mutually exclusive since you would only assign one to a venue. Or were you thinking of being able to assign a venue to multiple categories? If the former, just being able to label a venue as 1. club/bar/restaurant, 2. shop, or 3. uh, something that covers workplaces and cultural institutions/universities would be great. Oh, plus parks and other public spaces and...what am I overlooking?
In order to add them retrospectively it would be good if anyone could add it to existing venues too. -
Inappropriate?And frankly I'm not all that crazy about "Crunked" as a badge. This is something to aspire to?2 Comments Add a comment

An equally good point, which is why, if I'm going to end up with the badge on my profile, I want it to be legit/deserved and not because I was running errands on a Saturday. :)

It gave me a laugh when I checked into a club late one evening and got it. Yeah, I'll have another night like that in about never.
Yes, I would've been disappointed to get it at Target, or the library or any of the other very uncrunkish places I'm the mayor of. They need a badge that's the opposite of crunked. -
Inappropriate?HA! Perhaps the "Geezer" badge, which I would probably qualify for after I became mayor of the Allandale HEB one day. I seriously cannot imagine a less glamorous place to be mayor of in all of Austin (except another HEB).

Hmmm, if I became mayor of my local HEB, maybe I could demand that they always have fresh *whole wheat* tortillas and reserve a box of strawberry popsicles for me so I don't have to try and make do with the tangerine.
Ah, Foursquare née Dodgeball, you've come a long way since you were just some NYU kids' drinking game.
