**Edit: TL;DR:** To get the Disciplined Badge, you need to delete an answer which is not accepted with 3 or higher score, then undelete it a minute later. You will not lose any reputation this way and earn a free bronze badge, since it is legal and known, I advise everybody to do this. =========================================== **Edit:** I changed my mind. This was a bad idea. At least I learned something. =========================================== ***Disciplined Badge*** : Deleted own post with score of 3 or higher. http://stackoverflow.com/help/badges/37/disciplined I don't see how this badge affects the community in a positive way, it might be doing more harm to the community than good. Even if this badge is moderated for abuse, it wastes the time of moderators for a useless reason: "Some guy deleted a good answer for this stupid bronze badge" ( Negative effects of this badge / Positive effects of this badge ) Is definitely over 1 and I think it should be deleted or stop from being earned anymore.
