User blog comment:Numbuhthreefan/Badges? Seriously?!?!/@comment-1781822-20100714182950

That's my opinion too. I noticed people are getting competitive over ranking, and people who deserve to be in the top 5 aren't, because the badges only take in the quantity of the edits, not the quality, still, people cheat and try to bend the rules to get them, occasionally getting warnings.
