The badges thing is neat. It looks like the excitement has turned back to zaps.

A thought I had was that it seems like badge awarding should work like a message. Does badge awarding honor a user’s mute list? It’s probably fine now with a small friendly community, but anyone can make a badge and it is displayed wether you accept it or not. Some people have already awarded badges that weren’t very nice, etc.

I’m going to claim my first badge, Girl Next Door.
