Still right there. yorkw: The only way they can get an Enlightened badge via cheating is if they have sock puppets. Like I said, creating sock puppets is far worse and badge revocation is the least of their problems. | |

Think about a user has 10 fake accounts and use those fake accounts voting questions/answers posted by the primary account. Anyway, If system is designed to let user get something by cheating, no matter how meaningless the thing is, I would consider this as a FAIL design. | |
