For a second I parsed this as indicating that HN had instituted a system of badges, about which you were unenthused... phew!

- andrewstuart 16y agoGiven the industry trend for badges I wouldn't be surprised. Do I get an HN badge for having karma over 400?
- pinko 16y agoOver 500 (or somesuch -- it's a moving target) gets you the ability to downvote. Which raises an interesting point -- badges do nothing for me, but feature unlocking is compelling, as much as I wish it weren't. I don't actually care, but if I stop paying attention I often find myself behaving as if I did.
