Dec 28, 2014 at 1:12 comment added cfr Note that it is a jump to conclude that nobody was 'interested enough'. It might just be that nobody felt able to answer. Or, even, that the question has no reasonable answer at the present time. (Some questions would require significant rewriting of an engine's internals, but even needing the development of a new package is a lot to ask. And sometimes it is not obvious to the person asking that what is being asked really is rather a lot i.e. it isn't clear that X is really difficult since it seems simple enough as a question.)
Dec 28, 2014 at 1:09 comment added cfr Well, the existence of some badges clearly skews the behaviour of some users in somewhat disruptive ways at times. However, I don't see any obvious danger of that with these specific criteria. They are a little complex, though, and I wonder if that's a consideration. Most badges seem to be associated with relatively simple criteria (1 or 2 requirements rather than 4).
Dec 25, 2014 at 9:44 comment added 1010011010 I don't see any downsides to this as criteria for getting badges are arbitrary and they allow for a fun mini-game to the more experienced question answerers.
Dec 22, 2014 at 9:30 comment added Andrew Swann There are some badges related to some of these aspects already, including Self learner (once only) and the Nice question/Nice answer hierachies.

Dec 20, 2014 at 19:46 comment added Werner Mod Highly-specialized badges are what secret Winterbash hats are all about! Oh, you're talking about a real badge. Requirements for these things should be weighed up through queries to see how may people might suddenly receive this, as well as suggest a badge class (bronze, silver or gold). Finally, this would be something that covers the entire network (of course), and would therefore be better-suited on Meta.SE using the tag badge-request.
