Q: How can I get Badges?
A: Each badge is achieved by doing a different thing, some are easier to get then others.
Q: What are badges for?
A: Well, most people collect them for bragging rights, but there are other benefits. One being that if you collect 20 badges, I or another GA at the time, will make you a custom, official badge.
Q: Why do some people have custom badges?
A: Some people like to make there own badges, just for themselves. These do not count however, as they are unofficial, and do not count towards your total number of badges.

Q: How do I get the badges in my signature?

Q: What if I run out of space?
A: If you run out of space in your signature, PM a staff member of rank Global Moderator or above. They will add your current badges to the censor list and then make it so you only have to write one word to have all your badges appear. From then on, just tell the staff to add it to your censor.
