Badge is not a bad idea, but it reminds me of kindergarten when you got gold stars for participating.
I guess I'm still not convinced that a big reason people are sharing is because of points. I have looked at how many replies a thread of mine has gotten, but I never cared about points. Maybe people are motivated by different metrics.
Personally, I think the forum would be just as popular today if you never had a rep system to begin.
It isn't like people don't see quality posts from the same people. It takes time to acclimate to the forum culture. That isn't a bad thing. With time spent, you start to know who you're interested in reading and who you're not.
I never used the rep system to ascertain who I wanted to read. I just spent time reading and figured it out when the same name kept popping up.
