Make Foursquare more traveler-friendly
Make Foursquare traveler-friendly with continuous history across cities in user page feeds, and histories that don't disappear after you've left.
Once I switch cities, my history is only displayed within the city I am currently in and all other history from other cities is not displayed. This creates a lot of gaps in my feed and causes confusion, paranoia, and extreme sickness about my current and recent whereabouts.
Also mentioned in an earlier getsatisfaction post, when my friends leave the city we're in, all of their history is removed with them. This also causes confusion, paranoia, and extreme sickness about whether my friend was really here with me.

So this morning I was in NYC, congratulating Mr. Bloomberg over brunch at Balthazar, when I got to missing my friend Rana. So I jumped on a plane, and flew over to SF, grabbing a coffee at Blue Bottle and some cigars at Grant's. I called up Rana, and it turns out she's in LA for the week.
Undeterred, I bummed a Cessna 320 from a college chum of mine, and departed for Hollywood. I stopped by the Amoeba, and then grabbed a Pepper Smash at Seven Grand while waiting for Rana. But one turned into a couple, and a couple into a few and a few into a few too many.
Forgetting about Rana in my newly acquired fog, I meandered back to the airfield, and snuck aboard my nemesis Billy Lear Jr's prototype LJ85. After sharing a few cubans with the pilot (James), he agreed to fly me over to MLPS (Don't steal jets and fly them drunk kids!).
We landed on Nicolette and parked the Lear while we got a mid afternoon shake at The Bad Waitress. I introduced James to my best buddy Matt, and between the three of us we got a little silly. Eventually we got 86'd from the BW, and we decided to roll over to the Otter for Karaoke with Townies, it's always a good time.
Finally exhausted by my somewhat big day, I flew back to my parent's place in Phoenix, and grabbed a night cap at a local watering hole that only I seem to know about (Pecos Lounge).
Now it's the end of this huge day I have... 1 point?

If only you know about that watering hole, you'd get 5 points for the new venue, 5 points for checking in on your first visit, and 2 points for your second check-in in Phoenix for the night (assuming the airport was your first.) I estimate you'd have 18 points in Phoenix by the end of that day. You'd also have multiple points in other cities as well.
It's a shame you'd have no special badge for visiting multiple cities. -
I sadly no longer get points for checking into Sky Harbor, and I've been going and checking into Pecos Lounge for months.
So it looks like I was wrong never the less, I'd have two points, one for travel and one for checking in. -
Inappropriate?Your history is not wiped...it's just not visible. Once you go back to your original city, you'll see it again. Your complete history across ALL cities is always visible on the web site under the "History" section.

That's not the point - the thing is that if over the course of Saturday you go to 5 places in San Francisco, then fly to Vegas, and go to 5 places there, then a) you won't get Oversharing (as a badge) and b) you don't get the additional checkins towards Explorer or whatever. I went to Vegas one weekend, got a few badges, but guess what - back home I don't have them. It is probably normal for folks to be more adventurous when out of town... Plus, if my friends go out of town I'd love to hear what places they're going to!

That's because each city has its own set of badges/accomplishments; I have the overshare badge for Los Angeles and also got the overshare badge while in Vegas for a weekend.
-
Yes, but that's the central issue here. I don't want my friends to drop off the radar just because they go out of town either - I live vicariously through them!
-
Inappropriate?I'm not asking for badges to suddenly become city agnostic. But I feel that points ought to be. There could also be global badges, but that's a whole other request.

I really don't think people should have to compete with people in other cities too. Those of us in Boston want absolutely nothing to do with those cheaters down in NYC. (This includes the ones getting a stupid parade today.)
