That would mean that as long as your post was in there fast and didn't get revised OUT of the allowable window, it would get the badge either A) during the time it is accepted if it already has the appropriate number of votes or B) when it gets the final necessary vote if it has already been accepted.

Jun 30, 2009 at 20:22 comment added mmyers @TheTXI: How would that fit in with awarding the badge at some point down the road when the answer finally gets accepted? Does that count or not? What if it was only accepted because of the edits? There are all sorts of edge cases here.
Jun 30, 2009 at 20:09 comment added devinb @TXI, I missed the criteria of 'accepted' I thought it only had to be upvoted. I am thoroughly shamed.
Jun 30, 2009 at 20:03 comment added TheTXI mmyers: I would say that once the badge is awarded it's awarded (just like all badges). If you win the badge and THEN revise the answer, I don't see a problem with that.
Jun 30, 2009 at 19:59 comment added mmyers So if you revise the answer a day later, you lose the badge? I don't think we want to discourage editing here. I think basing it on the timing of the votes is enough for this.
Jun 30, 2009 at 19:56 comment added Sampson You're right. +10 votes and accepted seems to be pretty solid.

Jun 30, 2009 at 19:55 comment added TheTXI I would say that if you wanted this to be a gold-version of the enlightened badge, you should require a greater score than just +5. +10 or +25 are more in line with gold standards on SO.
Jun 30, 2009 at 19:46 comment added Sampson Base the award on # of revisions too.

Jun 30, 2009 at 19:42 comment added TheTXI devinb: Joke or pithy answers don't tend to get accepted as often as an actually useful answer. I would also say discount CW posts because they tend to have a higher tendency of those types of quick posts (I am guilty of them often myself).

Jun 30, 2009 at 19:41 comment added TheTXI I think you should also revise this suggestion to also include a more restrictive timeframe (or no timeframe allowance at all) for answer revision. That would immediately prevent people from posting first and then crafting a better response to get the badge.
Jun 30, 2009 at 19:40 comment added devinb You'll get a lot of people earning this badge for 'joke' or 'pithy' answers. They are usually first, and they get a lot of upvotes.
Jun 30, 2009 at 19:37 comment added TheTXI I like this. I do see it as an upgraded Enlightened badge.
