This is going to be more of a pain in the ass than Vista's Security popup or whatever it's called. It'll be the #1 way to make users hate using your application, I assure you.

Badges need to enhance the application not interrupt it. I have never seen a badge application pause the application to award you with the badge. The entire concept is pretty nuts. It's a good idea, such a shame about the implementation.

Mozilla can easily provide an interface to delete badges you don't want, or ban applications that spam you from the badge system. The whole threat model idea is just self-sabotage.
