Today, I flagged my first post, hooray. Because of that, I've got the "Citizen Patrol" badge. But not once, but 6 times already, or at least: I got the notification 6 times now. A bug?

To be clear: I'm getting the notification over and over again, I only have the badge once.

much citizen patrol.

  • @Glorfindel: it’s not the same as that old bug as now, it’s only the notification. I got already twenty notifications about the same badge, but the badge count didn’t change. Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 10:14

My fault. Isn't it always? We had a problem with badges failing to award last night, so I added some extra logging to capture more info when it stumbled. In the process I accidentally broke something such that it appeared to work, but really didn't actually do anything. Deploying the fix now. Sorry folks.

    "Isn't it always?" don't be too harsh on yourself. Sometimes, Nick Craver breaks stuff, too. Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 11:54

    'I accidentally broke something such that it appeared to work', That sounds like my average coding day. Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 11:56
  • I confirm I just got an Announcer badge for the same question 4 times in a row. Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 12:22
