Matt, do want a gold badge?

Since the reversal badge seems a little worthless why not give it away for free, and with 8K helping others out every day, it might as well be you. I will sacrifice this question, just need -5 votes and then all you need is 20 up votes. Voila

I think Kev and Rob are right. But I would really like a Creme Egg... Mmmmm, chocolate!

20 upvotes is still very hard to achieve...

Also, it might be easier for him to update the version of StackExchange that's running and go for Electorate (voting on 600 questions), or Fanatic (like me, for 100 days straight).

I don't actually have any influence over the version of stack exchange or anything else that's running, i'm a mod rather than an admin... But Rob - definitely +1 for the tagging - LOL

When you have the power for the code, then you can alter the rules, right?

Sure, but he's hardly going to introduce the "becauseIamMatt badge"

Yup, I'm expecting for the Taxonomist badge for that one!

If Matt wants a gold badge, I'm sure he'll get one in time - it's not that hard to get one. In the interest of trying to grow the site, I don't think we should be 'fixing' questions to reward individuals - that seems a bit elitist.

I like this response the best - joking aside from my previous comment.
