I'm not sure. I assume it might be. After all I explicitly requested this hub to be enabled on a wiki I founded, and am a bureaucrat and administrator on. The way I see it, it's okay to make edits to get badges, and to try and get on the leader-board. But only if what they're doing serves a valid purpose. Don't get me wrong though, I do find it unacceptable for users to make throwaway edits "just" to get badges and "just" to get on the leader-board.

I do try to get badges and improve my ranking on the leader-board, but if and only if what I'm doing to get them is useful, constructive, and serves a valid purpose. Sadly, there are too many users out there that do do things just to get badges and get on the leader-board.
