I am very sorry if some of you feel offended by the badges. We have talked about an option to make them private and we are still discussing it.

I am also sorry if you feel they were/are a complete waste of time as it was and is something we thought would be fun.

We are still focused on fixing site issues and these are NOT at all meant to anger people in any way.

I honestly do not want to get into a debate over these as it is not like we are posting how much someone is spending, an address, etc. I do understand the concerns, hear them and will do my best to address them.

We are trying here guys, how about a little bit of a break? It seems as if no matter what we do, there is a crowd that finds something wrong. I know and understand you all have been through a whole lot of changes and some not for the better, I get it and I am trying to turn it around. It does take time.

Things like the badges, if you do not like it, it's fine. However, there are a WHOLE LOT of members, Vendors, Prime members, etc that LOVE them.
