I don't really see any trolls, though this thread has gotten off topic.
The sad part is, no it really hasn't.

I just wanted to request a badge or title change. A lot of this is not about badges or titles.

Some of us requested troll badges for temp bans that were unfounded. That makes us just as on topic as you.

Do I get a dragon slayer badge then?
Might I suggest "Divine Champion"?
IMO, all class handbook authors deserve some sort of official recognition. The sheer volume of work that goes into producing those things is phenomenal. It's people like you, LDB, Nausicaa, Litigation and the rest...
I second this. Should have done this days ago.

i would think you deserve one for contributing to dragon.
and i dont think we should give out badges for people saying things that get them banned, even if you think it was undeserved.

On topic, I'd like to throw my support in for the people that did the class handbooks. Those take a lot of work and research to write, and are a huge help to the community.
Yes, the latest book/release that you don't like is a blatant attempt by Wizards of the Coast to make money off the fanbase. They all are. That's kinda the point of the Free Enterprise system, companies are in it to make money... Spoiler:
Show
You can't! I tried... and the next night masked men came into my house and beat me until I burned up my ranger character sheet and rolled a scout. They told me... if I ever thought of making a non-essential character that they would kill mitsy..... OH GOD THEY ARE COMING BACK AND ARE FORCING ME TO BUY HEROES OF SHADOWS! SOMEONE STOP THEM PLEASE!
Your DM is your friend. He's not trying to screw with you, or dick you around. Play your character how your character would act. Accept that your character won't always be able to do what he's best at, but also know that as a goddamn HERO, he's gonna try to do his best at what he can do.
Roleplay your goddamn character, make the decisions he would make, and roll appropriately. Everything will be fine.
But filling a post with vitriol, hate-filled comments, like "these people should be fired", swearing at us or other ambiguous members of the company - there really is no reason for that. Please share your feedback respectfully, and consider how you would share your ideas if this were a face to face conversation between real people, not faceless names on a screen.
If you see me posting in a thread about editions or Essentials (that isn't simply a rules thread or similar) remind me that I'm trying to stay away from them. (My blood pressure will thank us both.)

Its not like that... people that see other people get banned for posting things are like "What?" when they see why. It has a lot more to do with inconsistency and autobanning people when someone reports their post...

I'd definitely like to see people get handbook badges too - there are several people who do a ton of work that I use on a regular basis. Those people really do deserve some community recognition, though its not like most of us who frequent CharOps don't already know who they are.
(And on a selfish note, i'd love to have a badge for my community compilations on Gamma World ;P)

What about introducing a mechanism whereby the community as a whole can nominate and vote for 'award badges' for individuals who have contributed in an exceptional manner?

That would be cool right up till people realize they can vote for themselves.
