Forum:Badges need to come back

I wrote a blog about this, but a forum would be a much easier way for the entire community to get involved. I noticed this wiki's activity has been limited to a handful of users lately. Now, this is mostly because the next season hasn't started yet. However, there is another way to increase activity on this wiki again, and it is badges. I understand the pros and cons of badges, but to make it easier to read I'll just list them off.

Pros
The most active editors are ranked at the top, giving them credit for their work

Gives users another reason to edit

Makes the wiki more competition based, attracting better editors

New users get badges faster, keeping them interested

Cons
Some users will edit for the sole purpose of getting badges, or fluff editing as you call it

I am being completely honest here. I could not think of any more cons. If users are editing just to get badges, they can be blocked to rid us of their bad edits. Badges are not a problem people. We should bring them back to this wiki. If anyone thinks they shouldn't be brought back, speak to me. I can give you plenty of reasons to change your mind.
