Let people oppose if they have really valid reasons to oppose. Sometimes, you can't easily convince a person to change their mind. Enough said. Why are you all derailing this thread? Read all of the above replies and you will see that we are not derailing this thread.

As for your question about my reasons for opposing you for running for the position of rollback, my answer is: it's not a silly accusation. One example is in the thread in where people proposed for IYNH to be demoted. Some of your replies were not suitable that they had to be removed from the thread. Forum has no connection to Mainspace. You don't earn badges on Forum. This is mainspace. I get the whole not enough mainspace. I can't argue with that. Forum may not be connected to mainspace but your attitude will be still checked. If a user is active in mainspace but has a habit of harassing users or spamming in the forum and wants to be a rollback, do you think that user should be promoted? I don't think so.

And actually, you can still earn badges from making forum edits but the badges that you can only obtain are the Lucky Blovers. I do not intend to argue with you here, but Lucky Blovers are by luck. I think what Zambie means is there's no predictable badge you can earn in the forums. Zambie said that you can't earn badges in the forum. Actually, you still can, by getting the Welcome To The Wiki badge if your first edit was a forum edit or by earning Lucky Blover badges.
