I like badges and TL very much and obviously dislike point or posts numbers as @erlend_sh has explained that very well:

> [@Reputation Spec: Proposal and Critique](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reputation-spec-proposal-and-critique/29696/9):
>

but why don’t think to a default organization for badges, by level, as I have already suggested here?

> [@Define additional badge types](https://meta.discourse.org/t/define-additional-badge-types/31781):
>
> Continuing the discussion from [Badges feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/t/badges-feedback/13789/11): Let me resurrect this thread, I need additional types/colours like Platinum, Diamond, ecc.. Groups are not enough for my purpose. Is there any chance?

it could be a good a good alternative.
