Oh deary, I'm gone for only one day and boom! Explodes. Lol.

I'm afraid that Deilann is right, Malkin. I have no issues with how the badges work for the wikia community in general, but it has exhausted it's use for HabitRPG.

The aim of badges on most wikias is to encourage users to contribute with "friendly competition". As a part of HabitRPG, we thought this would be a good tool to use to promote our HabitRPG wiki, under the belief that we'll change the method eventually when things get a bit out of hand (as they have).

I agree with you, Malkin, there's nothing wrong with Badges. And if there was, I will definitely send wikia a message about it to improve this test feature that they're developing. But to be honest, I don't see a problem with it on other wikia pages because they don't tie directly into a program like ours.

We just used the badges in a way that it was not intended for, and hence ran into problems. :)

I look forward to seeing how this develops over Trello. I haven't logged in over there yet. I'm anticipating another explosion over there....*quivers in fear*
