User blog comment:Wetstream/Removal of Badges/@comment-17759525-20140427204356

I hate it when people are idiots. What makes them think they can just get away with adding nonexistant categories or other people's pictures? It's like they don't realize wiki activity exists and monitors their every edit.

If I'm being honest, I did like the fact that I was in the top ten on the badges, and I did want to earn as many as I could and see how far up in the rankings I could get. But I still tried to make meaningful edits and all. I don't get why people think they have to be all spammy to get the badges - honest, good edits can add up if you have a decent number of stories.

I'm sorry to see the badges go, but I think it's the right decision. Hopefully they'll come back soon, though :3
