Talk:Badge Count Leaderboard/@comment-3388158-20141125152325/@comment-92.224.238.63-20150107084317

From all the other problems this account now has I am pretty sure that the database entries can get into some broken state by just using the site and gathering lots of rep and (different) badges. I can understand that multiple counters are kept (instead of recalculating totals every time), and that they can get out of sync. What is more difficult to understand is why the total counters seem to be blocked and why recalculating them, or just reenabling seems so difficult. Not even the badge I got for my 2014 financial contribution was counted :-(

I contacted Kitt to ask if the account has been deliberately blocked, it is not, but nothing has changed either. So IMO it is something anyone could hit, the only alternative now is restarting with a new account (because of the related refresh error every time a badge has been earned (even though not counted), but I am not really looking forward to hit  this bug again.
