Depending on the badges it might also easy to game. e.g. if I need 100 commits
to get a badge, then I’m going to make lots of small commute rather than one
big one. If there a badge for emails send to lest then I’m going to send more
emails. I ‘m not sure that this would bee a positive gain for the community.
+1 - I have similar concerns.
Now, if there was a way to take advantage of people's tendency to want
more badges / a higher score to encourage behaviour that is a positive
benefit to the community then that could be very interesting. I am
thinking along the lines of Stackoverflow's reputation (although I
recognise that that is not without issues). The biggest challenge is
that it would need to work with mailing lists.
Maybe get a project, or a small number of projects, involved to run
pilots of various schemes to see what works and what does not.
