So... this "badge earning" thing... I'm curious as to why there are folks that think it's a huge enough deal to "edit spam" just to earn some on their profile pages on wikias in general. (And to be clear, I'm not talking about frequent legitimate edits and such... just the excessive random insertion of unneeded symbols/spaces/pictures/etc. and/or undoing and redoing between the same exact changes over time... I've seen this happen on both here and some other wikias I've browsed in passing.) To be quite honest, it's just as annoying as when unregistered spammers/vandals come by and do the same thing. And other than being an awesome visual representation of one's history of working with a wikia, there's no other purpose badges serve outside of that, to be brutally honest... so why fake the work and waste time instead of either leaving well enough alone, or better, actually making edits that help improve the quality of an article by adding information and correcting errors instead of causing them? v(=A=)v

In other news, I think I just had another musical epiphany moment... but lost half of it trying to type this post up. XD
