I logged in yesterday for the first time in AT LEAST half a year. I plan to start designing again, so I logged in, anticipating the incoming gaming laptop I recently started saving for.
I played some games, commented on some, checked out the badges, reputation, ect.
A couple hours later I got back on and noticed I'd accidentally gotten a gold badge? Whoa!
Except it was for Fanatic, and my page listed that I'd been online for 121 consecutive days!
I gained 500 rep for it, but I think the real rep would be from reporting the issue. I don't know who to talk to about this, but maybe this is a good place to start.
