There are a maximum number of points you can earn for each of the above activities over different time periods.
Badges are awarded based on your all time point attainment. When you earn a badge, it is displayed next to your posts, on your profile, and other places where your name or profile picture appears. Badges are a quick way to convey your reputation to other members.
