First off, let me say that I think the W&W forum is absolutely awesome. I love hanging out here and I enjoy helping people out with detailing information, teaching myself new tricks about detail products, and looking at the results people get when they post up some great looking pics. This is such a fun place to hang out because of the awesome admins like Wanabe, thanks for taking the time to maintain such a cool place. 
Amidst all this I'm a little confused why we give out W&W badges so easily. No, I'm not saying that we should be a group of elitist bastards who brag out having our badges.
But, I've seen plenty of posts recently that didn't qualify for Wacko status at all in my mind. There have been plenty of fuzzy cell phone pics and people saying "I just went to Autozone, bought some soap and washed it, can I have my badge now?".
I also don't think we should give out badges based on pics that aren't an S2000. I realize this is a public detail forum. But, it's a public detail forum on an S2000 website for S2000s.
This isn't Autopia, so if someone posts pics of a nice Lexus and asks for a badge I'd be asking to see some pics of their Wacko'd S2000 before I ponied up W&W Wacko status. 500 members doesn't mean a whole lot if they don't own an S2000 to participate in the other group activities on the site. It'd be like me going to a Corvette detailing forum and wanting a Wacko Corvette badge just because I cleaned up my S2000 and thought it looked nice.
I'm not complaining here, just giving my opinion on all those recent badges being awarded. I just wish the Wash and Wax forum was a little bit more careful about who they gave the badges to. Part of the reason why I find this forum so useful is that it takes a huge amount of generic detailing info that can work on any car, and makes it specific and unique to the S2000. It's very easy for me to go here and figure out, thanks to the many S2000 Wackos, what does and doesn't work on the S2000. We've essentially taken a really broad subject (auto detailing) and narrowed it down to a specific car, so when I do make a decision to buy a product for my car I'm confident that I'm making an informed, knowledgeable decision based on the experience of other S2000 owners. This is why I like to see those W&W badges stay with S2000 owners.
