True, but white would at least solve the problem for a non-trivial portion of users.

The Venn diagram of the crusty curmudgeons who don't want badges, and the computer Luddites who lost you at the pipe command, is 100% overlapping.

Given all the discussion in this thread, I have a question: does FT have a beta program where select users try out upcoming changes and provide feedback? If so, was feedback provided for this feature?

One of the reasons I dislike these badges is that there is now so much clutter in the left-hand sidebar that even a one-line comment takes up a lot of screen space.

Thank you.

I hope they can figure out a way to have them disappear (for the ones who don't like them).

I do agree on this point. I thought this was the reason that signature length was limited

See above for comments for countries and FT profile age but, essentially, while I recognize there are 200 countries (give or take), visiting even 10 is an extremely privileged position to be in. Less than 5% of the developed world has travelled to more than 30 countries. BUT a 100 countries badge will be coming.
The FT population is not representative of the developed world. It would be interesting to see the stats on countries visited in the FT population, I would think it is much higher than average considering it's an air travel forum.
