Is it possible that the downvoter accidentally upvoted at first, earning me the badge? (And then changed it to a downvote as intended?) I don't think badges are removed if the score drops down again? But I thought badges were only awarded after the vote was locked?        for convenience.

I received a  badge for an  with 9 upvotes and 1 downvotes for a net of 8 points. Awarding this badge during the upvote revocation timeout period seems like a bug to me.

I edited this post today  on stack overflow. I was approved of the edit, so I waited a few minutes to get my  badge because this answer was posted on Jan 28 '10 at 1:06, but it never came. I have read multiple articles on meta that there have been bugs with this badge, but they have been about winning it multiple times (), or earning it then losing it (). Am I missing something here?

If I answer a question and vote for a competing answer, I am on my way to the Sportsmanship badge. What about if I:  a) delete my answer after voting for a competing answer  -- or  --  b) delete my answer before voting for a competing answer  -- or  --  c) delete my answer, vote for a competing answer, get abducted by aliens, the aliens using my account undelete my answer  Do any of those scenarios count towards the badge?    And just for the hell of it - what if I undo my vote for the competing answer?  This, of course, is not the result of alien abduction. Duh. This would be the result of a kidnapping where the kidnappers force me to undo upvotes under threat of serious injury or death.

Suppose you've hit the daily rep limit with two answers, each earning you 10 upvotes (so, 100 rep from each). Say, you delete one of those two posts, and then the remaining one gets 10 more upvotes. Then, tomorrow, you undelete the one with the +100. Would you get back that +100? If so, you've effectively received 300 points yesterday. Anybody ever tried this or heard about it? I know I'm not the first person to think of this...  p.s. I'm a regular poster on the statistics stackexchange, which is a relatively low-key site, so it's not easy to reach the daily rep limit, so I wouldn't be worried about stapling 100 points onto another day and potentially pushing myself over the limit on that day.

Actually this was quite surprising. A casual troll in the Users Page revealed few users with negative vote. One example is here    Then trying to see what could have causes such a low reputation, I peeked inside the Profile Page of this particular User and was surprised to see a decent positive score.    Can someone explain to me how this can be possible?

I've just noticed that if you try to vote without having a privilege to vote, you're greeted with such message:        So, that's interesting. Does it mean that if I gain 125 (or 15, in case I'm upvoting not having 15 reps) rep on that site, my "suggested" vote goes public and until then it would be recorded as it's done with anon feedback?  And until this change, the votes weren't recorded as anonymous, or has the new message saying that it acts as feedback been added just to not upset users?

How about introducing a badge that rewards downvoting, but only of the sensible kind?   A measure for sensible downvoting would be a high percentage  certain number of downvotes on content that has subsequently been   Deleted  Closed (except migrations and duplicates)   Bronze, Silver, and Gold badges would vary in numbers, say     Bronze: cast 50 downvotes on content that was subsequently closed or deleted   This would encourage downvoting (which is great and needed), but of the measurably sensible kind only.  What  good actual numbers would be for Bronze, Silver, and Gold would be a separate discussion. Feel free to suggest numbers in your answers, as well as name suggestions (the only I managed to come up with was Whistleblowerand that isn't really accurate. I'm more imagining the old lady calling the council over some abandoned litter in the streets, or broken windows... but in a good way of course.

user has serial up-voting reversed, but he still have badge Mortarboard.   Is it correct behavior of badges? I suppose it should be reversed too.  And will this 200 daily reputation (2012-03-20) score for the Epic, and Legendary badges?

I was reviewing First Posts just now, and I received the following message after my 20th vote:     Thank you for reviewing 20 First Posts today; come back in 8 hours to continue reviewing.   I see other users, with far lower reputation than me, .  Why is it I only have 20 votes?  I saw the  question, but the accepted answer there mentions flag weight, and I was under the impression that Flag Weight is gone (since it is no longer visibile on my profile).  What is the formula that determines the number of First Post votes a person can get per day?

Don't worry! I got all my 100 reputation :) It just didn't appear that way...    The notification says +100, but why does it say +97 at the top?  Edit  I created an account on server fault, and this time it says +96. I assume it's because of the down votes on this question; however, I thought down votes aren't shown in the rep you gain.

Someone  to try and get help reopening , and it got deleted as a result.  I voted to undelete it and flagged it as well since , and noticed it has been deleted a 2nd time, with the same user initiating the delete vote.    I can also vote to undelete a 2nd time.  Why are delete/undelete votes not limited to once per user per post the way close/reopen votes are?

If I'm below 15 reputation, I can't alter the public score of an answer/question.  Suppose I gain the privilege by getting the required rep and vote some posts up. Then, for any reason, I fall below 15 and lose the ability to vote. What about the votes I already did cast?  Do post scores get altered by ignoring my vote, or will they stay the same? In other words, is losing a privilege retroactive?  If yes, what about when I gain my privilege back? Are my votes automatically restored, or do I have to cast them again from scratch?  I made the easiest example, but this applies to any higher privilege

Note: I don't seem to have actually been awarded the badge.    I just got this message:    however, I'm still quite a bit away from the reputation requirement:    I didn't get a notification that I earned the badge, nor is it in my badge list. But I cannot select it for tracking anymore:    Not sure if this is related to     I did not get the badge awarded, but maybe it's just not that time of the day yet (does the tracking earning notice and the actual awarding occur on different schedules)?

The system awarded me Necromancer, attributing it to the fresh printed new question instead of the older decrepit master question it was merged into.  I earned the "Necromancer" badge because I "Answered a question more than 60 days later with a score of 5 or more."  I did not actually answer a question more than 60 days after it was asked. I just won the badge because the question had been merged with a previous one.   Shouldn't the system have this premise in consideration and not award badges like that?

Just curious, why is there a required privilege (especially one as high as 1000) to view vote counts for a post? It's not like someone can mess up a post by just viewing the vote counts. Is it just to give people incentive to reach 1000?

We have an  and I noticed the badges are not loading in the election statistics like they should be. It just hangs forever loading badge information:    Unfortunately I blew off reporting this for a couple days figuring it would resolve itself, but it doesn't seem to be a temporary problem.

Today I voted up the wrong answer. I noticed that there's no way to undo your votes. When you have voted an answer you are forced to vote it, even if you don't want to. I immediately noticed the error and I could just change my vote to up or down, not delete my vote. It makes no sense at all, imho. Since you are able to change your vote within 5 minutes, you should also be able to remove your vote entirely. I can't believe no one noticed that before...
