8.2 Add a rank above Scratcher or allow users to skip the New Scratcher statusThere are three ranks: New Scratcher, Scratcher, and Scratch Team. The only reason the New Scratcher rank exists is to prevent spam, and since it only takes a few weeks to become a Scratcher, bullying and separation are rather minimal. Similarly, the Scratch Team rank exists so users know who is on the Scratch Team; generally, Scratch Team members do not brag about the Scratch Team rank. In contrast, there may be division in the community between Scratchers and those with a higher rank, which could also lead to bragging and bullying. This also includes a “verified Scratcher” status where well-known Scratchers get a special symbol next to their name.
Although the restrictions for New Scratchers may seem annoying, they are extremely effective against spam and inappropriate content. For New Scratchers who are wondering how to become a Scratcher or what it means to be one, check out this post. The Scratch Team will not allow any accounts to “skip” the New Scratcher status, even if it is an alternate account of an existing account.

8.8 Scratch achievementsSome users have suggested Scratch achievements such as “Created 50 projects” with the idea that this would give users motivation to keep using Scratch. However, this sort of idea does not really fit in with the purpose of Scratch. Some users may use their achievements to determine that they are “better” than other users. However, you are allowed to make achievements in your own games, if you like.

Probably because — Verifications would basically cause chaos, given to people or not, not everyone would like it as it'd show a “priority over users” factor. We have a * (star) to indicate whether someone is in ST and that's enough I think.
Plus — Badges would just be ‘FINALLY I GOT THE BADGEEE’, not really worth adding.
I don't think these would be beneficial for Scratch.

Dont worry, i do not careBro really thought this was my reaction.

Not the best time to say that. It's proven and you can't do anything about it. That includes not caring at all and thinking it's a troll.

(#4)Don't worry, the topic should be closed by an ST member later since this might turn into flaming. Also, we weren't mad, just telling you both are rejected. Just so you know, I saw your post before your edit.
