Heh, I found it kinda funny when his cheerful little face popped up in my inbox. Nowhere near the required 1000, and yet there he is. I think I'll enjoy this little glitch while it lasts, 'cause somehow I don't think we'll get to keep the badge when it's all fixed...
I got one to, and I'm not giving it back! You can't have it! It's mine, all mine!!
EDIT: In better news, I finally managed to get the red button in my list of badges.

I like my Long-Time Listener, First-Time Caller badge.
It seems the Letters to the Editor editorial is no longer being published, not since mid-2011. There's only 308 total with about 4-5 people per letter so I'm one of about 1500 or so who's got the thing. Not nearly as rare as some of the others but I think it's still pretty cool.

*Sigh*
I remember the good ol' days where we worked out butts off to get that badge.
I know I did.
Now it feels like I should get my own badge.

... I'm kidding.
Though I guess that this event doesn't make it fair, but yet it really isn't that much of a big deal.
I vote: mweh.

I just got the notable poster badge and epic poster. While the first makes sense, second not so much, like you can see in my postcount. I got the Hot Topic and On Fire badge for a thread a while back, and the On Fire was not apropriate there to and got removed (i think). So same thing might happen to our undeserved epic poster badges.latiasracer said:Recently received a notification saying I've unlocked and have been awarded the "Epic Poster" badge (For obtaining 1000 posts without an infraction).
Whilst this is good, and is my personal goal on this website that i have been working towards for almost 2 years now...
I don't even have 500 yet...
What this supposed to happen or whaaaaat?
Can it be removed? I'd like to earn it legit if possible.
Also, to add some discussion value :
What's your favorite badge on the Escapist and why?
Well, I'm going to get it one day.
Why not skip the lollygagging and just get it over with now?
Though I'm not entirely sure if I have it within my "inventory" as of this moment...

I just got that badge too. How very odd....
Anyway, my favourite badge is my Raptor one because dinosaurs are just awesome.

HA! I was thinking the same thing, like where the hell did this badge come from? 
I'm still going to wear it though, because I am pretty darn epic.

This is just silly.. why would they ban you over something as trivial as a badge xD and it's the system's fault, not ours.Euphbug said:
I've been getting a few bugs on the site for the past day or two, not being able to see anything beyond the front page, getting 5001 messages, getting the 1000 posts badge without 1000 posts. I guess the site is just having a brain-sneeze and will get better after some chicken soup and a lie-in.
The last few minutes for me;

"Hm, that's a very cool badge I've been looking forward to earning, but I'm fairly certain I haven't actually earned it yet... I wonder if this has happened to anyone else."
*Search*
"Seems it did..."
*Reads about interesting badges*
My favourite is the one to the far left, because ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
