While achievements and points are fun as personal goals, it's important to remember that they don't really matter. They're nothing but numbers on a screen. There's far too much gray area about what constitutes vandalism or policy violations to get worked up about it.

There has been one clear-cut case of someone making updates that amounted to spam/vandalism to get points quickly, and he stopped when asked. Everyone else I've seen seems to be genuinely trying to improve the wiki, even if I don't always agree with their opinions about what makes things better. If I disagree strongly enough, I bring it up in the forums so we can hopefully work out an agreement as a community. That's the ultimate goal here - to build a better wiki as a community. Achievements are just window dressing.
