Received Welcome badge multiple times

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

regibus361 reported receiving the Welcome badge three times on the Roblox Developer Forum. They shared a screenshot and proposed possible reproduction steps, assuming the badge is only awarded for public categories and the threads they originally earned the badge on were moved to private categories. However, Qursch clarified that the badge shows which topic/reply it was earned on and found that regibus361 only earned the badge once, on this post, and received multiple notifications.

Hiya, I received a badge (the Welcome badge) three times on the Roblox Developer Forum (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!

All badges that query a specific post, the Welcome badge included, can show which topic/reply the badge was earned on. I checked your profile and you earned it on this post.

In addition, you did not earn this badge multiple times, you merely got 2 notifications for it.

I had previously earned it on two other posts before, and every time I earned it again, the post I had earned it on changed and the time since I got it reset.
