Taking them away will stop a lot of people pointsgaming, and be sure some of the users you mentioned are pointsgamers. And what do you mean more likely than lose users? When people don't have something to strive for, like Reading said, they lose the will to do ANYTHING. And stopping pointssgamers, as for that, guess what? If you stop pointsgamers, they turn into bitchy whiny little 10 year olds. I would rather deal with pointsgamers than a flood of kids bitching at me for "Taking away badges".

Fine, then.
