It may have been already answered, but how do your points go up? I'm just intrigued to know 

A brown envelope stuffed with used notes when the Basschat heavies come knocking should do it.

OK, here's what I think I've found out:

- Rank: based on post count outside Off Topic.

- Great Content badge: based on number of received TLRTs.

- BC Hero badge: based on number of replies given.

- Watts: number of received TLRTs of the types 'Haha', 'Like' and 'Thanks'.  'Confused' and 'Sad' not counted.

I may dislike them, but the phenomenon seems interesting in a psychiatric way. 😁

Reportedly there are huge differences between individuals - badgers being kept on "farms" ranging from dog like ones to vile bone choppers. I'd guess free ones would be averagely "worse".
 

Sorry, badger farms? Is that to make shaving brushes with?

From what I've read it seems to be about people being fascinated with them and offering them an infrastructure they can thrive in as semi-pets, in connection to the person's house or farm.
A badger keeper in our municipality in Holland told about the enormous differences between individual badgers. That is the total extent of my knowledge.

Just as a trial, I checked out your list.

 

My profile said 473 points from the next level.  A post in off topic leaves it unchanged.  

 

A "Thanks" TLRT on your post gave me 3 points.  Whoopee.

 

EDIT:  Replying to your post gave me 2 points.

 

EDIT:  But editing my own post gives 0.

Quoting your own post also gives 2 points.  Just to prove that either arguing with yourself, or agreeing with yourself is regarded as a good thing by the powers that be, and that talking you yourself isn't entirely pointless unless you don't like badges.

I still don't get why it is says "Badges! We don't need no stinking badges!" in the thread title. Why are they stinking and what are they stinking of? I cannot smell anything. I even sniffed the computer screen but just cannot smell anything. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Only the rusty sheriffs badge stinks.  I don't mind the badges one way or another.
