From its start, badgehunting has been a useless and annoying rule. When we put badges in front of new users, quite a few may take the bait. I aam speaking out of personal experience, as I was one of those users unlucky enough to stumble across the badges.

The Leaderboard serves absolutely no purpose other than badges and badgehunting, yet we still have one anyway, and outlaw it. Since when has the leaderboard done anything to help? In fact, I've only seen it confuse people.

Please post your opinion.
