Badges - When do you get them?

SO here we are again.

BUT how many times ?

Badges: what are they?

Can you help me make sense of "badges" on this forum? I don't know what they mean or what they are supposed to be used for. In particular: What is "karma"? What, if anything, makes it vary? What's up with the names of scientists/inventors? I got Sagan recently (I used to have some other name that I can't remember); there's Tesla, Edison and so on. What do they mean? What causes a name to be replaced by another one?

Forum badges meaning

Hi Sorry for my ignorance on this subject: Some badges used in this forum, when clicking on them, a box appears explaining what they mean, but not others. I searched but I couldn't find any place that has the meaning of the bagdes. I found this link that shows all the badges, https://forum.arduino.cc/badges but I have not been able to know the meaning of some. Example: LeGuin, Karma: 1+. Can someone help me find this meaning?

Also I thought someone said that Karma is now likes (ie the heart someone clicks on your post to like), so should the Karma Title reflect the number of like from other people to you? If it stays at 1+ then it's a meaningless title. Thanks

I've earned a badge, my KARMA just topped 50?

F-iddy, F - F - F! And a WTF too! See how long before I donate again.Maybe when I have 800.

Username titles

I have no idea what section to post this under, but what are the titles that are displayed after usernames? What do they mean? What is their use?

Not a God member any more

It seems we've been demoted from Gods to Heros =( Actually is was getting a bit crowded in the God group, every man and his dog has recently be Godified (myself included). It was getting to the point where we would all be Gods which I believe took something away form those who really have a lot of posts. How about adding another break point say at 2000 (maybe more or less, you'd have to look at the post numbers to arrive at a reasonable figure) for those who have done a lot on the forum? Rob …
