Think of all the electrons wasted displaying badges under everyones names when noone could care less about them.

This board exists for site feedback, will mse be responding to this feedback?

See the third thread from the top of this board.

They serve no purpose whatsoever. A complete waste of screen space

I don't even know what mine are for anyway. And, I'm nearly 60, not 6 - why are we treated like we are toddlers? complete rubbish

Fully agree with this post. I too go to my profile, click on threads to find threads to see if anyone has updated them, have to scroll past loads of Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!

It would be OK if they were shown on the default landing page for the profile. But once we click a link (e.g. to look at threads or replies) we don't still need to see them!

Completely agree.  I don't actually blame MSE itself, as I suspect it is the new forum platform that merely follows the American-led penchant for infantilising the public (yes well, they could turn the badge facility off, I suppose).
We see it constantly in inane slogans, catch-phrases, and the bestowing of meaningless titles in workplaces (I did temp in an American bank in London for a few months, where every small department had a vice-president). Badges and other enticements, more suitable for boy/girl scout cubs, are handed out in the misplaced belief that the recipient will feel "part of something".

The badges were always there Quasar it's just that they are bigger on the profile page now and you have to scroll passed them to get to what you want to look at.

See, I  never even noticed them before. That's how pointless they are  in my opinion

Moaned about this when it first appeared after the revamp, needless to say it was ignored, who cares how many badges we've got?

Seems some people do as they seem to post for no reason at all. It’s either waffle/ irrelevant/bragging/pointless (I could go on).  Take the badges away and it might help with not inflating their already oversized egos.
