Jul 25, 2010 at 10:53 comment added Georg Fritzsche I would add a minimum score on the answer (e.g. 3) to prevent too easy gaming.

Last paragraph made simpler. Minor edit: grammar/spelling/case/punctation/etc.
Jul 29, 2009 at 20:57 comment added sal @Graeme Perrow maybe that badge should be called beat-skeet?
Jul 21, 2009 at 13:55 comment added Damien Oh, he'll find a way...
Jul 21, 2009 at 12:49 comment added Graeme Perrow Interesting idea: a badge that Jon Skeet can't get!
Jul 14, 2009 at 19:12 comment added Quinn Taylor @devinb I doubt people intentionally gives lousy answers on SO. This badge would be likely to incentivize users with less rep to post good answers in the hope of earning a badge for giving a better answer than a much more experienced/reputable user. I can't really see a downside to something like this...
Jul 14, 2009 at 13:10 comment added devinb (-1) On SO, everyone should be giving the best answer they can. We shouldn't be operating on a 'tier' system. You should answer a question when you think no one else has it right, their reputations should not matter.
Jul 13, 2009 at 13:39 comment added KyleFarris I like the name "underdog" as well.

Jul 5, 2009 at 3:12 comment added user95071 Needs to be called "Grasshopper"
Jul 1, 2009 at 7:58 comment added Daniel James I wouldn't just use a plain multiple - as it'd be too easy to get the badge when you've got a small reputation, so I might use 'x * reputation + c' or perhaps 'max(x * reputation, c)', and I'd make 'c' pretty large.
Jul 1, 2009 at 3:20 comment added gnostradamus "... submitted by something with x amount times more reputation than you"??? Are you implying that inhuman creatures are infiltrating SO? =)

Jun 30, 2009 at 17:53 comment added Damien Nice, I like Underdog
Jun 30, 2009 at 16:40 comment added Quinn Taylor Apple's WWDC has a traditional panel called "Stump the Experts". Maybe something like "Smart Upstart" or "Underdog"?
Jun 30, 2009 at 11:43 comment added Sampson While skeet is a great guy, I don't think the community should ever start operating around his persona.

Jun 30, 2009 at 9:04 comment added Ladybug Killer And makes a lot of badges.
Jun 29, 2009 at 19:30 comment added Damien last one is good, makes it more serious as well.
Jun 29, 2009 at 19:20 comment added Daniel James You could award it for when a rival answer was submitted by someone with a much higher reputation than your own.
Jun 29, 2009 at 13:07 comment added Damien It was more of a fun idea ;)
Jun 29, 2009 at 12:55 comment added Jon Smock This is somewhat dependent on Jon Skeet always being a prominent user, right? Not that it doesn't appear that way - just playing devil's advocate.
