The badge is a good Idea but, I think it should remain until the newb learns how to use the forum. 3 lazy questions doesn't make them a valuable member or, a scrapper.
In my opinion there is a big difference between a scrapper, a Junker, and a scavenger. It is a choice one makes.
This forum and it's members provide the knowledge and help needed to move from one class to the next. Some don't want to put forth the effort or time to move up in class and, that's fine it's a free country and their choice.
Even in the scavenger class there are two types the ones who throw every thing in the truck and take it to the yard for shred price and that is fine too. In my opinion the scavenger class are those cord cutters and smash and grabbers who leave splintered TVs on the street, drive way or lawn for a bit of copper.
Some one will come on the forum and ask how to tell the difference between alu and ss, in some cases to the un trained or inexperienced it's hard to tell that is where we can be helpful to a newb but, to come on and ask where to find scrap or how much is copper worth obviously has not read one line of info here and in my opinion does not have the common sense that deserve our respect, or our time. just my .02 mcw
my rant for the month
