We have the badge system that encourage users use more features on the site. Does that make sense to give user more reputations after achieving badges like nice questions or nice answers?

• It's not completely clear what you're saying. Which badges in particular are you referring to? Are you suggesting adding a reputation bonus to some badges, or are you suggesting that with certain badges (like Good Question and Good Answer, for example) since the poster has already gained reputation for that answer or question that a badge as well is unnecessary?

• The latter. Thanks Jun 27, 2016 at 14:39
• Could you edit your question to be more specific and/or explicit, please? Jun 27, 2016 at 14:40
• Sorry for unclear question, I am new to CV and have a lot of questions in mind. When I ask this question I did not thing though. Jun 27, 2016 at 14:52
• While there's not much issue with discussing these things, note that changes to the system would be network wide, so if your intent is to propose some change this would probably be better placed on the network meta (meta.stackexchange.com). If that's what you're trying to achieve, once your question is polished up it would be possible to migrate it. (Though I expect this has probably already been raised there, so check for duplicates first.) Jun 27, 2016 at 14:53
• Your title still seems to be asking the former (it appears to be a request for additional reputation for earning a badge) rather than the latter (questioning whether both badges and reputation are necessary) Jun 27, 2016 at 15:35
• @Glen_b Yes, I think myself is not clear what is the question, but your answers explains my confusion 100% in detail in both ways. If you think it is necessary to make it more clear, please feel free to edit my question. Jun 27, 2016 at 15:40

More of the story comes when you look at the tag badges, for example, whuber has a spatial tag badge, spatial statistics being a topic on which he has vastly more knowledge than me. Knowing that he has that tag badge and I don't might help to indicate his relative expertise on the topic.
