This is a great idea, and one I absolutely support. I like virtuous uses of gamification.
I will caution that setting "this never happens again" as an objective may be a bit unrealistic. All the testing in the world cannot replicate the reality of going live with tens of thousands of active users. Minimizing the chance? Sure. That's worth the effort, and its realistic.
I would definitely recommend going through the post's text. There were significant issues of style, grammar, and proofreading that made it a bit difficult to read at times. I'd be happy to point out some examples in a follow-up comment, if you wish.

Thank you! I agree with you, it is hard to never let this happen again. But it is a goal we would like to work on. There was a saying, which fits well here :)
Please do write some examples on how I can improve, because I would like to improve my writing skills as well.
I often say "perfect is a goal, not a destination," so we are in agreement. Now, to the examples!
The word "have" is redundant. It makes the sentence present perfect, and it should be simple past: "I logged in."
A few issues here. Starting with that redundant "and" at the start, which I guess may have been left over from a different form of the sentence? There's also no punctuation. Punctuation is good!
Whose own testnet? @gtg's? All of yours? Also, again, punctuation. Let's do a sample edit:
"@gtg, the wizard of Steemit, proposed making our own TESTNET. He stated that it is not needed only for hard forks." (A comment here: I guessed at @gtg's gender based on Gandalf being male. I would have considered using the singular they if it were my post and I didn't know the gender).
Let's make this simpler and more accurate: "So that future hard/soft forks are bulletproof before implementation."
Thanks a lot for your effort @didic. Very good advice. Will try to improve!
Thank you for your review, @didic!
So far this week you've reviewed 26 contributions. Keep up the good work!
Resteemed and upvoted with joy and hope! This is true leadership in action. Big thanks!!
Also, I kindly suggest you to consider implementing a blockchain reset. Here is a discussion on this regard: https://steemit.com/steemit/@smitop/re-develcuy-fake-steem-sbd-witness-market-condencer-and-so-on-let-s-test-steem-for-real-from-now-on-20181005t192446714z
The main purpose of a fresh start is to speed up testnet deployments which then will allow real Test Driven Development (TDD) with automated testing, regressions, integrations and all its goodies.
I see you have great ideas and experience. Please join us on discord. Will be awesome to have you there!
Good idea, yes. I looked into this previously and was told that Steem and Steemit are not whitelisted for utopian, but the only explanation I got was that Steemit inc. weren't seeking to do that (for reasons unknown to me). If Utopian and Steemit can arrange that it would be great.
I suggested already to use a system like http://www.testquality.com/ to organise the testing. Part of the challenge is gaining oversight into what has been done and what needs to be done. When lots of people who are decentralised try to work together it is common for things to be overlooked or unnecessarily repeated - I think a system like this will help and it is free for public repos too.
Excellent advise @ura-soul, will look into it. This is the main change, to connect steemians, developers and witnesses, so that everyone is aware about what needs to be done and what has been done. Already second time I am seeing this service, testquality.com
Would be great to incentivize and empower people who are willing to help with testing and development of steem.
Great, ok. I did paste the link to this in the witness chat room but no-one replied about in detail there yet.
By combining reliable testnets with the community repo on github and a management app like this, we will be in a much better position going forward.
Agree with you 100%. That is the plan, truly decentrialize and open source. Not the way things are right now...
