Hey, most of the badges seem to work pretty well, but I've noticed two that seem to not work very well: the Editor of the Week badge and the Rookie of the Week badge. For instance, if you examine those who have been winning them, and the quantities that they have been amassing in order to win them, they seem way too low, and in most cases don't really even make sense. I can't verify this with the Editor badge, as there isn't a list that shows how many posts that people have edited, but as for the Rookie one, it is easy to see that something is wrong. Am I missing something, or is there something wrong with how the site has been counting these two things?

Not sure, but I'll pass it along to feedback. Thanks, BigMike! - rac1, Mar 18, 2013

Maybe the winners got lucky and edited a lot when others didn't edit much, becoming "Editor of the Week" fairly easily. When it says "of the week", it could be reasonable or make no sense at all. No, you are not missing anything. Keep in mind that there are catches.

Example: Star Student of which lesson? An easy one? A difficult one. How do you know someone isn't copying and pasting?

It's not everyday I have this question.
