A pentient for pedantry, a knack for nazi-ness, a craft for craziness. — George Stocker, Sep 9, 2013 at 13:09
If you are new, you probably shouldn't be asking this question. — BoltClock's a Unicorn, Sep 9, 2013 at 13:14
@BoltClock'saUnicorn If you've been here for a while, you probably shouldn't be asking the question either. ;) — Bart, Sep 9, 2013 at 13:15
Surely that should be "A penchant for pedantry..." No pedants are sorry they all revel in it. — Robert Longson, Sep 9, 2013 at 14:05

The badge requirements are only for SO right now, and the reputation requirements are different on other sites as well.

Do we need 3000 reputation on a particular site where we want to be a mod or total network-wide reputation need to be 3000?
