User blog comment:Sshakenbakee/Badge Hunting is...Good?/@comment-3417255-20131213070626

I donno... I see badges working both ways. While it does encourage involvement, some may only see what triggers them, and grab them for pointless actions... that is, unless they could be lost when/if the edit is undone/removed. That way, it kinda encourages content additions that are of actual value, as opposed to bump comments for edit counts...
