There are badges on WikiAnswers because each badge symbolizes the work one particular contributor has put into WikiAnswers. The more badges, the more associated that particular contributor is with programs of and with WikiAnswers. For example, a Supervisor (category or floating) badge shows that a person is dedicated to patrolling WikiAnswers for vandals and what is out of place and what shouldn't be on WikiAnswers. Another example would be the SPA (Special Project Assistant) badge, which shows that this particular contributor helps with small projects around WikiAnswers to make it better that most contributors are to busy to take care of completely.
