User blog comment:Tbguy1992/Badges? When did we start getting badges?/@comment-1483327-20100814160850

"Edit Points"? There was no such thing. It was simply a plain counter of the edits a user would make. Though I agree that it was frustrating when my several thousand edits suddenly became worth zilch, but I still like the system. I feel its like the achievements and Gamerscore you get on Xbox 360. I think that it is fun to strive towards a goal.
