Revise or even remove the "Author" badge

Hi, could you please revise or even remove the "Author" badge?

It's annoying, especially now with AI, where people write tons of text just to get and keep this badge.

I'm not exempt from this; I write just as much nonsense for this badge.

How about simply removing the badge or changing it so that instead of the average, a certain number of entries (x) must be reached? For example, to get the highest badge, one could write x log entries of 100 words each. Perhaps this could improve log entries again?

Since I earned this badge fairly, without spam or pointless copy-and-paste logs, I oppose its removal.

My alternative suggestion would be to link the badge to the "similarity of your logs" and stipulate that if the similarity exceeds x%, the author badge will be revoked.

The problem with this badge, as I have pointed out before, is that it is based on an average value. This means that with a high number of finds, is it almost impossible to go up or down a level. As such, it becomes meaningless and therefore I would also support its removal.
