Looks like you and Dr Pachuca have had a bit of an "agreement" regarding obtaining points!
Stat padding is stat padding - awards or not.
So the question becomes: If I need 40 kills IAR to get my "whatever badge". And I try to kill 40 people to get it... Is THAT statspadding, or playing the game ?
If you think that's padding, then you're nuts. Stats padding is if you ASK someone to go get continously killed by you and subsequently revived by a team mate. I've even seen people "tricking" others into that crap by having the SL ask people to join his squad, except his friend (on the other team) is killing anyone spawning on the SL, then the SL revives, ad continuom. THAT'S padding. Having 4-5 people lobbing nades at an empty mountain while you get ammo points for respplying them, THAT's padding. Having some one wounding someone (or himself) so you get healing points, THAT's padding.

Simply playing to get a badge is NOT padding. Let's at least get that straight. Otherwise we might aswell consider anything not on an IO server padding, because you would earn time/(points toward badges... Oh and we'd have to remove the infantry awards also. Otherwise you might accidentally get one and be considered a padder.
