User blog comment:TDADJ/Badges. We're all guilty for trying to get some./@comment-1671624-20100617031050

Thing is, I do post to get badges. But that's the whole reason that they were added in the first place, to encourage contributions. I'm always going to make sure that my edits are meaningful. Some people don't, but that was the same before the badges change. We can just fix them. The important thing isn't earning the badges, but making the Wiki better.
