Achaea Forum FAQ
Maybe it's right in front of me and I'm just missing it - but I looked around the forum a bit and couldn't find an FAQ on the forum itself. I.e. what are all the badges there are and what are they for? Obviously the more stars the better - but what do they represent and how do you get them? Etc.
Could somebody point me to it - or give me a brief rundown?

Quick rundown:
Forum users get (or lose) points for positive (negative) reactions to their posts. The number of stars next to your name corresponds to the total number of points you've gotten. You can also get points from earning various badges.
There are four reactions you can give on a post: like, disagree, LOL, WTF. Like and LOL add one point to the post, and give a point to the user, WTF removes one point from each, and disagree is point-neutral. A post that gets 5 or more net points is highlighted, and one that gets negative 5 or more is hidden. Moderators have an extra reaction, promote, which adds 5 points to a post and 3 points to the person who posted it. Posts can also be flagged for abuse, meaning that they contain content that you find inappropriate or offensive; this counts for -1 point for the post and the poster. It should be noted that the admin has requested that abuse flags be reserved for posts that violate the forum rules or are otherwise in need of specific moderator attention.
You get badges for certain specific things, like changing your profile picture or mentioning someone else in a comment for the first time, or for certain landmark numbers of likes, LOLs, etc. There's a list of possible badges at http://forums.achaea.com/badges. Some of them pertain to reactions that aren't active on these forums (agrees, upvotes, etc).
@ next to a name is the rank after 5 stars.
