@shivangiawasthi True for some badges but I was more interested to learn about how the other kinds of badges that are not task driven and standard awarded such as gemologist.
Seems like they're automatically assigned for achieving some milestones and other specific actions.

@sviridov @lizworthy Thanks for the link. appreicate it. Like I said, It's interesting and would love to learn about how the algorithm works. What exactly does the system consider a bright idea or a thoughtful comment or something else for that matter!
The almighty ProductHunt algorithm (aka automatically assigned based on predefined thresholds per activity).
