This blog post makes the concept clearer, I think; the "reactions" feature seems to be specific to Vanilla, while "badges" are more or less what you describe. But I'd be very interested in learning how badges can be customized to reflect off-forums data, too, which would be most relevant in Fanlore's case.
Hm, maybe time to go and lurk the help forums while I'm still stuck & bored at work :P
ETA: Actually! it makes much more sense to look at the *software* page rather than the *hosting business* siute to learn about features: http://vanillaforums.org/docs
