idk where to put this since I don't have a badge anymore, but this seems fine.
People don't like putting effort into things unrewarded. Lots of the more interesting threads that require more than 3 minutes of typing get 0 participation. Many other ones end up with only new & inexperienced users contributing, which is better than nothing, but often not particularly informative.
if I remember correctly, some part of smogon (uu?) did this to good effect a few years ago, so it's not unprecedented. Was something like "winning the creative set thread one week gets u 10 points, research thread gets u 20 points, etc", then you could redeem those points for cute shit like gif avatars, custom titles, ladybug badge, etc.
