Just because an idea was turned down doesn't mean that there aren't some aspects of it that might be worth discussing. Let's leave it open and see if there are any good arguments put forth that might sway some opinions

You can do that with cloud lists, right?

Yep. You would need a list for characters, their codes, and a list to store the decoded cloud data.

Here's everything you need.

Even though it's not gonna happen, I would love that. However, there would have to be a limit to the amount of points awarded for each badge.

That would be really cool, actually. Codecademy has a badge system. I guess it would be a really neat way to show off how far you've come, and even help new Scratchers strive to improve.

With this said, I support.

i would support badges that exist in good taste and fun (like most helpful). i would not like to see any badges that are awarded as a result of popularity or that are a way to quantify fame.

Like if there were step-by-step tutorials on things, you could earn badges, etc.

This would be a great way to improve!

I disagree.

Why?

Though it is a very interesting idea, I'd like to have a badge system, but I'm really afraid it could become a game and a competition between scratchers. Look, I'm a better scratcher than you, I have more badges than you, I have the badge +200 followers, etc etc.
It's yet very painful to see how Scratch is getting bad because of immature scratchers now, I think it could encourage the “fame competition” on Scratch, that is a big big big problem.

It would be nice and encouraging to be able to get badges for helpful behaviour, being friendly and such (NOT for most followers, most love-its and such)

But -1
because I think it would be very hard to administrate (how do you “calculate” helpfullness? It must be decided manually! A lot of work to do!)

you're right! i suppose us users could just award each other.

Completely agree with both of you.
