Fantastic. I didn’t even know about that link.

No, it doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s a good way to motivate people to participate in the community.

I’m not familiar with Discourse’s plugin arch. How hard would it to build a plugin that displays something like this next to the user’s name?
