That's absolutely true, Alfex. A badge alone does not mean TCG is a better contributor. Now that's not saying he is a bad contributor, but achievements alone should not determine how good an editor you are.

That being said, it is true that a more active contributor is more likely to get a lucky edit badge, but there is always a possibility, due to the editing count on the Wiki, that a spammer could earn the lucky edit badge by doing vandalism. The chances of this are highly unlikely, though.

When achievements were first enabled on Nitrome Wiki, there were a couple of vandals who swooped over NOBODY and took the lead by a few hundred points overnight. The leaderboard made it look like they helped a lot, when all they did was mess up a page and undo their edits about fifty or so times.

You seem to be very against badges, so I am curious to know whether you disabled them in your preferences or not. I myself dislike the achievements system, so I hide my badges.

By the way, congrats, TCG.
