Flash Mob Badge Issue

I think there is an issue with these badges. The same 5 people (only these 5) have acquired both the 50 & 100 badges, when 50 and 100 are required.

odd, and they all won it yesterday. Checking the "who's online" link now, it says:


Most online at a single time:
202 visitors on Today at 01:28 PM

Yeah caught me by surprise when I saw I got it as well. Even if I was online then.

There is no way this site had 202 people on at any one time. That would be 5000% above the average amount of people on at any one time...which is on average 4 lol

Logged in while 100 members were logged in to the site.

Seems like there are two options here, change the text on the badge or remove it from us that got it, simple as that, I'm fine with either of the options I presented.

I was getting site down messages from Cloudflare that day - might be related.

It probably means that any member will receive a badge while X number of users are on the site. I can change the wording to make it more accurate, but I'll need to know the exact unlock criteria from a dev first.

So it sounds like someone pulled shenanigans to unlock a badge that nobody had. I don't think a badge for X number of people online at once should be held by less than X number of people.

If that's the case why don't we all just do that now, some of us would be able to do multiple 360 or Ones also. We could maybe at least try it.. Get a standing count of how many people could log in on how many ever different devices and set up a day?

Sorry to spoil it for you guys but if all them uses the same router to access the internet they will have the same IP address. So it won't work.

So, I think I might of found the bug. Earlier today I logged in and was looking at the unread forums. I decided to go look to see who was online. At that time there was only 10 members logged in. I then changed the filter to show all and it showed 222 online. I was scrolling down the list and noticed a lot of spiders accessing user profiles and forums. After going to the third page I went back to my own page and the 50 and 100 flash mob were unlocked.
