Talk:List of badges/@comment-5334617-20140728024615

Personally, I don't like the badges system at all. Firstly, badges are spam attractors. They only reward acts, regardless of quality, which encourages acts of lower quality because they are easier.

On a more fundamental level, though, I don't like the badges because they have percieved value that detracts from (or at least distracts from) the actual value of the wiki: to be a (helpful, useful) resource.
