I just noticed I was never awarded the First Flag badge. I’ve flagged posts and to my knowledge at least one was agreed upon and not deferred. My PMs show ~5 agreed flags. Unless I do not understand what the badge requirements are?

Summary
The discussion revolves around purldator not receiving the “First Flag” badge despite having ~5 agreed flags. riking investigated and found that the badge query excludes flags on private messages and only counts flags on public categories. purldator noted that most of their flags were on soft-deleted topics, which are excluded from the badge_posts view. codinghorror pointed out that flags should include deleted posts, as deleted posts can be a result of a successful spam flag.
I just looked at the query, and it seems:
- it doesn’t count the ‘message @username’ flags
- it only counts flags on badge categories (public categories that aren’t no-badges)
If I remove either of those conditions (add PM user or switch to all posts), you get the badge.
The ~5 agreed flags, I’m guessing, do not meet the second requirement. They meet the first. The categories these flags were in: extensibility, marketplace…errh. Seems most of the topics were soft-deleted. A few exist in public, however.
That’s a bug LOL.. the badge_posts view excludes deleted topics
Then you better revert that edit there. 
(Unless it’s already been documented)
Flag should include deleted, for sure, the correct outcome for a spam flag (if that was your first flag, as an example) is for the post to be deleted.
