I hope some day, badges are removed from this wiki. I've seen people who seem to just add/remove a comma or rephrase content just to make progress in badges or to avoid losing progress in "contribute every day" badges (editing userpages, blog posts and message walls counts for that kind of badges BTW). And when someone is blocked for cheating for badges, the wiki loses a potential good contributor (I mean, if that editor just makes useless edits then the wiki loses nothing, but if someone is helpful in the wiki in addition to cheating for badges, the wiki's missing out on the usefil edits), and you're not a better contributor if you do 5 edits on 5 days than if you did all of them in one day. Badges don't make people edit more, they make them edit strategically.

When I was globally blocked because a user reported me to VSTF, I decided to never edit again on wikis with badges. But I might edit on thiis wiki if badges are removed. I know who's the youngest, oldest, tallest, shortest, lightest and heaviest suspect and killer in the first 3 seasons, and I might add some missing relatives (even parents and grandparents despite my message to Reg Boy).
