@RoryAlsop I got all kinds of messed up in Physics for going after badges. If you go after them you can get edit bans and suspended if you don't know how to get them with patience. Some of those create work depending on your reputation privileges.

@Muze Yes - however, if you fully read the help pages (which are presented to you when you first join a site, and can be read at any time) you can see what behaviours are good and what are bad.

Looking forward to getting badges, and focusing on doing things like: give good answers, make good edits, write good questions etc is all good

Gaming badges is less so

Remember, we have a huge FAQ that gives all this info (in fact anything on meta.stackexchange.com tagged faq is good to read)
