Problem is that stuff like "scariest Creepypasta ever" is extremely subjective and in order for the badges system to be credible they need to be objective. Before you talk about "why the badges exist" it's simply to rank members of the website. I do like where you're going with this though, I do think that something like "most discussed article" or "most comments on a blog post" would be great achievements for giant bonuses....except they'd probably be earned by moderators/administrators who already are super high ranking.
