I have the "All eyes on you!" badge, and am duly joyful about having started an extremely popular thread. 
I was inquiring about the "Conversation starter" badge.

one more time — while it would be *REALLY* nice to know when FT (or IB) implements a new badge, it would be even nicer to know their criteria for “awarding” it
at least “Community Builder” has a somewhat more conventional (traditional?) implication than “All Eyes On You”

another (probably academic) question — since this is FlyerTalk, why do some profiles (like mine) have “number of countries visited” as the first badge? I’d *think* either “airline miles” or “years on the site” would be far more logical defaults, esp since it doesn’t appear there’s a way for an individual user to re-order the icons

I have deduced through expert analysis that "All eyes on you" is awarded when a thread you created reaches 5,000 views.
Anyway, point of my post: can we get more badges for number of hotel nights? The maximum of 100 is barely 1/4 of the total possible nights! A 365 night badge would be nice

tel nights" anyway? Lifetime? Per year? It doesn't say.

The title of the section is "Yearly Hotel Reward Nights" so I've been treating it as per year but you make a good point, it doesn't say on the badge, and it would be more consistent if it were lifetime like miles, countries and points.

unclear. The airline miles, countries visited, and years on FT categories are lifetime related so IMO the hotel one should probably be as well.

is there any way to turn this off? I don't want badges, I don't like it when the forum software "awards" me some dumb badge and it's automatically added to my profile without asking me and then I have to do a bunch of unnecessary clicking to take it off. this "feature" should be opt in or removed completely.
