Achievements are trophies you earn for being active — publishing poems, gaining followers and reads, keeping daily reading and writing streaks, and writing comments. 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. Achievements and streaks are free for everyone; GS Pro adds a countdown to your next badge on each track.
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 different days you open your GS Analytics Pro pages. 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.
The comments you write on poems, as long as they are still showing. Comments that were removed or are waiting for review don't count, and comments other people leave on your poems don't count either. The badges come at 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 50,000 comments written.
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.
