If they get the badge, that means they've produced a resolution that enough people thought would be good for the GA to actually get it enacted, thereby generating game activity. And if it's Bitely and World Space Authority, that's on us for not communicating well with voters.
The only reason "they just want the badge" would be a valid inference to attack the motivation is in the case of plagiarism - which is what someone does if they want the reward without doing the work. But actually plagiarizing something is far, far worse than simply wanting a reward. This particular reward is rewarded for actually creating a resolution, which is the entire point of the game.
If someone misjudges the amount of work it takes to pass a resolution, that's not something to denigrate them for. Either they see it through or they don't; in neither case is there anything for GA players to shit on them for.
I am not badgehunting. Or whatever you call that. I don't even know BEFORE you guys told me.
