1. Should the "Participant", "Megaphone" and "Chatterbox" award be removed? These awards require one to earn 100, 1000 and 10000 activity points respectively, but I read that the activity points cannot be viewed since 2023. (Or are the activity points still recorded somewhere and I can still get the awards?)

2. Are the awards for game number (the awards you get for playing 1, 5, 10, 25, 100, 1000 and 10000 games) removed for bullet, blitz, rapid and variants? I can only get the game number award for daily chess (Daily 10)

3. I can't get the Friend Me award despite having connected my accounts.

On 1, I believe the points are still being tracked so the achievements are still possible to get

On. 2, I think those are just broken. 3 may also be broken

Update: I cannot get the Dangerous Intersection Award (I have played two 4-player chess game on the Variants tab because I cannot play 4-player chess from the Play tab since I am always redirected to the Variants tab whenever I try to play 4-player chess in the Play Tab). I cannot get the Second Opinion award despite having analyzed lots of games. I also cannot get the 3D Glasses award despite having played a game with 3D pieces (after tweaking my settings in Board & Pieces). I cannot get the Live 960 500, King of the Hill 500 and Crazyhouse 500 awards either (my rating for these three variants are above 500).

You have it now. Probably just took a little time to be awarded

Update: I cannot get the "First!" award (which is a secret award) although I have solved Monday's daily puzzle and left a comment.

Yes. They absolutely should be removed. They encourage spamming and random , mindless comments just to achieve these awards.

Will the broken achievements be fixed?

Possibly at some point but I believe it's a very low priority fix when compared to other projects and bugs

1) I learnt that I can get the Puzzle Veteran achievement by doing 1000 puzzles and I can get the Full Day award by doing puzzles for 24 hours. Do unrated puzzles count towards this?
2) Has the Silicon Brain achievement been fixed? I am planning to do all drills but I just read a forum post in 2023 about the Silicon Brain achievement having bugs.
3) Can a mod give me these achievements: Blitz 1, Blitz 5, Blitz 10, Blitz 25, Blitz 100? I have played 105 blitz games.

I think 1 only counts rated puzzles in the puzzle interface.

I don't know if Silicon Brain works or not.

On 3, mods can't unlock achievements, only staff can. For the count ones I think they can only unlock the 1st one and not the others.

Can a staff member unlock Bullet 1, Blitz 1 and Rapid 1 for me? Also can a staff member unlock variant rating achievements for me? (For example, Crazyhouse 500, Crazyhouse 600, Crazyhouse 700, Crazyhouse 800)

Nine-point-Circle

These are the awards that I am eligible for (can a staff member unlock these awards for me?):
Bullet 1, Blitz 1, Rapid 1, Chess.com Supporter (since someone gifted me a diamond membership), Dangerous Intersection (since I have played a game of 4-player chess), Second Opinion, Hindsight 20/20 (since I have analyzed 10 games), 3D Glasses, Live 960 500, Live 960 600, Live 960 700, 3-Check 500, 3-Check 600, King of the Hill 500, King of the Hill 600, Crazyhouse 500, Crazyhouse 600, Crazyhouse 700, Crazyhouse 800, Bughouse 500 and Bughouse 600.

Some can be unlocked by staff, some can't
