Are there any rules regarding badge farming, either in this Ethereum Stackexchange site or general Stackexchange rules?
More concretely, I will provide two examples:
1) I have been editing empty tags in order to add information to them for future users to see. This accomplishes two goals—future users now have more context when using a tag and I have earned the Research Assistant tag.
2) I created the Talkative and outspoken chat channel that is meant to be used for members to chat. It may also provide a farming ground for the talkative and outspoken badges.
To me, scenario one is perfectly valid, as it is adding concrete value to the community. Scenario two is more questionable, in my opinion. Is scenario two valid? What are the rules around this?
