I think it will naturally become more that just that, despite initial intentions. Having the hat and the time you have it is the best badge/metric we have as of now to judge a user retroactive engagement attitude. Unless other visible metrics/badges are developed for that purpose.

We have other badges planned around attached wallets, so that should help some.

Good point. I don't want to change the rules of the hat - it'd be unfair to everyone playing that game and who likes that game - but maybe there's a better metric we can badgify.

Thank you for considering that. Mind you, I'm just trying to give constructive feedback here for I value the site and I see that it can be greatly improved by this considerations (IMO as a user).
Possible badgifiable metrics for quality of contribution could be:
  • For Posting: ( post_total_stack / number_of_posts )
  • For Commenting: ( comnt_total_stack / number_of_comnts )
Possible badgifiable metric to measure retroactive engagement could be:
  • ( total_spending / number_of_answers ) ; number of answers given to posts or comments
