To be honest I'm not sure I understand your criteria, if I go by the name alone I get it, if I go by the above explanation not really. Placing that aside, I happen to be a fan of Originalworks (though as you stated it might need some fixing), to me it meant it proved my work was mine. Whether someone liked it or not wasn't the point, that's why I like @whalepower so much it gives it a stamp; a human came by (very well appreciated).
@coquiunlimited first off thanks for commenting. and now perhaps i can clear up any confusion. no one is saying originalworks is a bad thing...I and others involved with Human certified works are all fans too. what is being said...is that it is possible to fool and some scam/spammers are fooling the bot that does the originalworks searches. Humans can take a few extra steps to ensure originality and those with a badge have received some instructions on how to ensure the post is original to the person claiming it. So that is the aspect dealing with original works.
As to the criteria of my explanation. there are many badge holders... each real humans. each given a degree of autonomy in choosing which posts they want to give the badge. some badge holders lean in the direction of art... some science and information posts .... some writing and poetry....and so on. i think it is best to not think of it like originalworks.... as at this point you can not simply call on human certified original works .... a badge holder must find you...and they must badge you as to there specific criteria. we are each humans behind the badge.... we pick and decide as seen fit.
my above stated criteria is personal to me... other badge holders have there own personalized criteria.
in my criteria i am specific that it is not about whether i like it or not.
i have chosen to make my badge about searching for the sense of a real person. i can see why this could be confusing... who am i too say who is real and who isn't. i guess im saying above that i get a feeling off of certain posts. like the person has shared something personal or there is a vulnerable honesty or that every word that the person writes just feels so true to them... it is not an easy criteria to explain it is a very individual human thing to me. but here on steemit i am literally called the Butt or Buttcoins.... so i wouldn't worry to much about me or it. 😎
i hope that this in someway brings more clarity
Thank you for taking the time to clarify. It most definitely will be of much value to others that may have been equally as confused.
