How to disabled badges

[edcarden]

Is there a way to turn off the badges system?  I just got one for posting my 5th post and for me this is just silly. I don't need constant affirmation to ensure I will continue to use the site/boards. Well thought and timely replies are more then enough for any site like this. I already get enough spam email as it is without adding these to that. I don't want to turn off everything (which appears to be the only option in settings) because I would like to know when there's been a reply to a thread I strtaeed or am involved in but I don't need email affirmations with every few posts I make. 

Thank you
