| Feb 14, 2013 at 16:58 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @AnnaLear thank you very much for your time, I understand the purpose of the badge removal with an account merge if they user merged multiple accounts from the same site (because users could up vote their own responses) and that seems justified... I however only ever had 1 account on any given site so I appreciate you looking into it and hearing me out, thank you again for your time... God bless! | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 16:28 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @AlbertRenshaw Yeah, this is a side-effect of the account merge. We're going to look at what we can do to fix this. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 12:33 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @ShaWizDowArd Agreed! | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 8:01 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @animuson this was confirmed to be a bug here and even fixed for Fanatic, no reason why it shouldn't be fixed for Unsung Hero as well. Badges should not be taken back unless earned unrightfully in the first place. | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 5:12 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @LanceRoberts Thankyou for your helpful comment Lance, do you know the best way for me to contact them? | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 5:10 | comment | added | Nicol Bolas | -1: If you could edit your post to write "Important details are in the comments below", then you could edit your post to put the important details in your post! | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:52 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | They have definitely had problems with the multiple accounts thing, but it's probably a slim chance of you getting it back. I would email them if I were you. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:50 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @animuson I could have never voted any of my owns posts up, as the accounts that I merged where on different sites completely. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:49 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @animuson but I wasn't merging two accounts I had on SO or anything.. I had signed on to OTHER stack exchange sites with my eMail and I did it so long ago I guess the accounts weren't links... I still only every had one stack-exchange account... If this is the case I'd rather have all of my other accounts deleted and return to the account I had on Stack-Exchange. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:47 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | @AlbertRenshaw: It's really not a glitch. Badges are reset upon an account merge because literally everything on your accounts needs to be recalculated to make sure that you don't have double votes on things, reputation you shouldn't have, etc. It sucks bu there's really not anything anyone can or will do. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:37 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @All, in meta I would like to discuss things like what else can cause this glitch (So I stay clear of it next time) and who I should contact to have the glitch fixed and what not... if you would like to discuss what's fair and what you think should be done with my account please go here: philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/6050/… | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:25 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | @DaveNewton I believe they would want to provide all of their users a good user experience, I believe in compensation for glitches. That's where I'm bringing in the question of morality when it comes to re-awarding electronic items lost do to a glitch in your servers. | |

@AlbertRenshaw Please use @ replies. Why not? If they choose not to it's because it's not worth the effort: it's a gold badge. It's not actual gold; you cannot trade it in for anything interesting anywhere I'm aware of. I'm really not convinced "morality" comes in to the picture here.

| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:20 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | Why not though? If something in their system allowed a glitch that caused me to be penalized for no reason why shouldn't they revert the damage? I believe they are moral people, that seems the right thing to do. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:19 | comment | added | Dave Newton | @AlbertRenshaw The comment was saying that they're not going to manually give it back to you. My point about the picture was that we can't read it: it's too small. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:19 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | I don't think the badge was manually awarded (although if it was that would be pretty awesome haha) | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:18 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | It was a glitch, when my accounts were set up they were not connected for some reason (even though they all had the same eMail and usernames), when I had them connected I lost some of my badges. This shouldn't be happening. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:17 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | I'm not aware of developers ever manually awarding badges. I'm afraid if the system thinks you no longer qualify, you're just going to have to try and qualify again. | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:14 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | I just don't feel I should be penalized for trying to use the site the way the admins intended (merged accounts), I'm sure they will see it the same way. Both accounts that were merged had the same username and eMail they just weren't linked for some reason, I think it was a glitch but I posted about it on Meta a while back. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:12 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | Ah, I did merge because there was a glitch where when I set up my account with other stack exchange sites they were all shown as new accounts so I posted on here a while back about it and then I sent an eMail and then I relogged in with everything through Facebook and I lost my little gold pride. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:11 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | Did you have an account merge? I noticed that all your badges are currently awarded on February 9th. Account merges can reset all of your badges (which causes them to all be re-awarded), so if you no longer qualify for one, then you won't get it back. | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:11 | comment | added | Albert Renshaw | I didn't add it to prove to you guys that I had one and I deserve it again, I would hope that SO backs everything up and can check this... I just added it to prove to myself that I'm not going crazy and I imagined the whole thing haha! | |
| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:09 | comment | added | Dave Newton | (Besides not actually being able to see anything interesting in that picture, they have image editors that let you do things like... crop.) | |

| Feb 14, 2013 at 4:05 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | Which gold badge? It is possible, but normal badges are not taken away by any automated process. | |
