Apr 19, 2012 at 18:22 comment added Mysticial I think your answer is correct. But I'll wait for official confirmation before I accept it. (assuming it does turn out to be abuse)

Apr 18, 2012 at 18:09 comment added Lorem Ipsum @animuson Yeah, badges being out of order by itself isn't convincing (I've gotten vox-populi before suffrage in a similar vein), but your example is a question that I can easily believe would've quickly gotten the views if posted at the right time and place; not the one mentioned in the OP :)
Apr 18, 2012 at 18:08 comment added Mysticial It's definitely possible to get the badges in quick succession. I got Booster and Publicist only 10 min. apart - which might be an artifact of when the scripts run. But yes, there's definitely something fishy going on here. +1
Apr 18, 2012 at 18:06 comment added animuson StaffMod @Hogan: How would it be any different than a user making 500 bogus edits to posts, or a user creating duplicate accounts to upvote their own posts? It's not appropriate behavior and shouldn't go unpunished.
Apr 18, 2012 at 18:03 comment added Hogan Is it really farming? The user is meeting the requirement of that badge after all...
Apr 18, 2012 at 17:57 comment added animuson StaffMod This user's badges were also awarded out of order (20 minutes apart though).
