You mean the badges at the community? It is just to encourage you and keep you engaged in the community.

I actually got scared that, as a new instructor and member of this forum, each time I click on something, I get a new badge, notification and promotion 🙂

I know how it works and I'm fully aware some people should feel happy with this. But for the rest of us, used with this kind of forums and this silly marketing, there should be a way to disable all this non-sense.

The badges are noticed however, I wish we could get more students from these badges.

I would like to meet instructors who have thousands of students?
