Hiya, I received a badge (the Welcome badge) three times on the Roblox Developer Forum ([developer.roblox.com](http://developer.roblox.com)). Here’s a screenshot from when I had it twice:

I have since received it a third time. One person in the original thread I made on the devforum (cannot link it here as it’s private) said it may be because badges are only for public categories and the threads I originally got the badge on got moved into a private category (I have no way of finding out what posts I first got it on, however, so cannot check if this was the case)

_Possible_ repro steps assuming they were correct (if they weren’t, then I’m not sure):

1. Create a new account and give it a like in a public category.
2. Move the thread the like was given on to a private category.
3. Make a new thread in a public category and give the new account another like in that category.

In theory, this should cause double-receipt of the badge.

Thanks!
