Achievements are trophies you earn for being active — publishing poems, gaining followers and reads, keeping daily reading and writing streaks, and commenting. There are six categories across five tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond) — 34 badges in all, since each category has its own ladder of milestones. They live in your Trophy Case on your profile; you need to be signed in to view anyone's.
No — badges are permanent. If a follower later unfollows or a count drops, every badge you already unlocked stays unlocked. Achievements only ever move forward.
Reading and writing streaks count consecutive days. If a full day passes in your timezone without the qualifying activity — reading at least one poem for a reading streak, publishing at least one poem for a writing streak — the streak resets to 0 and starts again on your next active day. Your longest-ever streak is always kept, even after a reset.
Yes — three extra tracks sit alongside the regular ones. Founding Member is a one-time platinum badge for the first 100 GS Pro subscribers ever. Patron tenure badges honor 1, 3, and 5 continuous years of membership. And Insight Reader rewards the days you spend in your Analytics Pro dashboard. They appear in your Trophy Case just like every other badge.
No — like every badge, they're permanent once earned. If your membership lapses you simply stop progressing toward the next rung (for example, your Patron-tenure clock pauses); everything you already unlocked stays in your Trophy Case forever.
Diamond is a single capstone tuned to be legendary but reachable for that specific activity, so it is not the same number everywhere. Total reads top out at a million; followers at 100,000; comments at 50,000; poems published at 1,000; and both streaks at 1,000 days — roughly 2.7 years without missing a day.
