I just noticed our t31os was flooded with badges:

enter image description here

I think he deserved these badges, but I want to understand why he got all in one rush.

For example this organizer badge for an edit from 2011 comes a little bit … late. Many others too. What happened here? Why took it so long to get these badges, and did he get all in such a short time? Is this a bug?

    @t31os just logged in to StackExchange via the FourSquare Auth system. But Foursquare interprets login as checkin and so he became mayor.

  • wow. I didn´t think someone is really paying any attention to , or bother looking at those badges.. I guess your avatar of "the all-seeing eye" is indeed justified :-)

It was a merge - the new user got the badges of the old one.

    I just noticed, the user now has two Yearling badges (both on meta and main). I absolutely don't want to do any harm here, but shouldn't those one-time badges get checked for duplicates when merging accounts? Or do you get that particular badge once per year?
