If ... Nobody actually crunches for badges, they crunch to do good for the world. That's the point of Boinc.
Then why go on and on about changing them??

Prime badge?

When you do analysis that may be true, but I'm not going to do that for every user on the page. What I see as a 'regular' user is that I have done 46M credits of work along with 19 other people on that page that have done the same over a period of over 10 years and there is nothing to show that anyone has found a prime.
Dad
But then again 12 of the 20 folks listed on that page don't appear to be actively working on PrimeGrid (based on the RAC's of 0, 1 and 4.)
But, I can see your point that there is no way to visually note (on the top participants page) who on any given page has found a prime.

Michal Vlasak has been 'searching' since 2007 for over 46M credits and doesn't show anything, nor does any user on that page. This is the page that I am currently 'at' in my searching.
http://www.primegrid.com/top_users.php?sort_by=total_credit&offset=2140
Dad
Could be that that user is not "looking" for primes and prefers to rack up credit by sieving ....
That user has 46.570.969 total credit of which
That user has 17.623.588 credit in PPS SIEVE (no primes found by sieving) and
That user has 23.790.128 credit in PSA (bet it is mostly sieving.) and
That user has 407.448 credit in GCW Sieve and
That user has 28.252 credit in PSP Sieve and
That user has 70.764 credit in TRP Sieve, leaving
4.650.789 credit in PRIME FINDING sub-projects

This is all getting very close to a "participation" badges and "leveled playing fields".
That combined with the scraping, gaming, whinging (love that word), farming, someone has a faster system than me, has more systems than me, has a cloud system, is aborting too many work units, is using systems at their school/business, too many big farms are running the project that I was running and all the rest of this endless petty crap ... has surpassed the limit of TheDawgz interest in active participation at PG.
TheDawgz are done ... we'll continue to crunch here but, all active involvement, team participation, hell even bothering to read the forum posts is just .... over.
It's been fun
John

edit: I did just think of something. Due to your very cool flagging of new posts in forums showing up, now it's very obvious when we post here. Whether other users read I have no idea but at least it's now a flag waving in the breeze.
This forum does NOT show up in the forum list of non-members. You don't see any of the other team forums, right?
@Mike ... You are correct.

Result displays are turned back on, but workunit displays for in-progress workunits are suppressed. Completed workunits are visible.
Thank you Admins!! Excellent fix!!
The cat is out of the bottle, the genie is out of the box and Pandora is out of the bag.
The concept of gaming the system to only work on first-run work units so as to increase the likelihood of being the initial finder of a prime will not go away at the end of TdP.
Please consider leaving this change in place permanently!
