TT Community participation badges

[lmheim]

What do folks think about the various badges we get for posting/particiapting in the Community?  I think they are silly and of no value.  Is there something about them I don't understand that actually gets us something?

@lmheim the badges that pros get here in the Community are to acknowledge and celebrate your level of contribution and interaction. We also have seen this as a definite area for possible improvement and would one day like to do more work to restrategize and restructure them. Much of our time and resources for the last while have been going toward relauching the new version of this Community, we want to do all that we can to get that right first. For our future reference, do you have any possible ideas or suggestions that you'd like to share with us to make badges in the Community better?

@Kameron Admittedly I am biased.  I think 99% of it is just plain silly.  The only thing I find worthwhile is seeing some indication of "seniority" by Pros names when they post.  But I could care less about whether I have won the Chatty Cathy badge or whatever.
