Regarding Participation Badges

[Sol]

Participation badges could just be done away with altogether, they're pretty pointless considering all you have to do to get them is well, participate, and if that's the case participating in a competition can just be its own reward. It's not like the badges tell you which competition they took part in, either, so basically the only thing we get by seeing them is "Oh, that person entered a competition once. Okay." If it really matters, you can make a competition records thread, pin it, and simply update it after every comp. with the entrants and winners. (and maybe their entries)
