I am really impressed with your reply but do not agree with your statement.
In this world, each and every person has his own way of thinking.
Hanging certificates on wall doesn't mean that you are showing off to
others. I can state it as "the certificates on my wall encourage me to get
more of them".
and if I have a certificate that means I am increasing my knowledge as well
and what about your professional career where you need certificates first and
knowledge their after.

Pity you feel that way. Anybody who strives for the praise of
others is deeply flawed.
That might be okay, since it's the results that count; but as a
motivation, well, that sucks.
The MVP award is not praise, it is a designation of service to the
Windows community.
Then it would be forcibly endowed upon many regular participants in
absentia (i.e., without their permission to have someone endow the MVP
badge upon them). Only those that are offered (nominated) to be an
MVP get a choice but they still get a choice to refuse the badge.
I have degrees and I have multitudes of certifications but I don't
hang them on the wall. They get stuck in a file drawer. I took the
courses to learn, not to profess to the world "hey, look at me, I'm
special, look at all my awards, hey, look at me, look at me, I'm more
special than you". When I walk into an office with its walls
plastered with certs, I know that I'm in the presence of an insecure
person.
If you are willing to *remain* here only if you believe that someday
you will receive a shiny "MVP" badge to append to your moniker then
the purpose and content of your posts is suspect. Someone that spews
out thousands of superficial responses with no further follow up is
hardly MVP material. Someone that has been around for years and
submitted thousands of helpful posts where doing such has become their
daily routine isn't thinking about some nebulous badge to add to their
moniker.
