Sorry to bump this, but the next round of events is coming up soon and I’d _love_ to have this fixed ahead of time. 😉 Any ideas on how I can grant a badge multiple times without it being linked to a post? (Or should I set the `post_id` to the announcement post using an ever-growing `case` statement?)
