@riking I think it could go either way. Having a top answer would certainly be rare enough that having the badge once would feel like an accomplishment. However, in the same regard, it’s rarity would make having more than one top answer an even bigger feat, which is why granting the badge multiple times would be nice.

My personal opinion is that having one badge is all it takes to accomplish what getting a badge is supposed to do (that special feeling), which is why I’m totally ok with it only being awarded once 🙂
