User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Announcing Achievements - Edit your way to the top/@comment-1326752-20100805224349

The only problem(and it is a big one) I have is what happens if say somebody makes a ton of edits that arn't really helpful and we have to redo all of them. I don't want people just editing ZP so they can get a lot of badges, I want them to edit ZP so they can improve it.

The only way it could be fair is if the "scores" include edits made prior to the achievements being implemented and if an edit is undone, or a page/image/blog/etc is deleted then it will not be counted for the achievement.

I strongly encourage you to not implement this, but if you must, I implore you to allow achievements to be disabled if the admins don't want achievements.
