Aug 11, 2010 at 7:59 comment added Steffen Opel Rereading my own comment let me to the conclusion you might be up to something here: if one looks at the users activity/timeline it is noticeable that the API Beta badge has been rewarded on Aug 8, way out of line with all others, which have been awarded around the time the Public Beta started (May 20), of course. So maybe a recalculation of the users reputation on Aug 8 triggered a bug (possibly including a deleted post indeed) in the most definitely 'one off' code regarding this special badge + bonus mode not applied elsewhere usually?
Aug 11, 2010 at 7:49 comment added Steffen Opel Actually the user received 11 upvotes on questions and 3 upvotes on answers with 1 downvote each (the stats tab doesn't provide the complete picture, use the API instead ;) This yields 137 exactly if you factor in the 1 point everybody starts with as well that question upvotes do still account for 10 here (has been reduced to 5 on major sites only). So it seems to be exactly 4k out of nowhere, which triggers the API Evangelist bonus association, albeit this one would have been rewarded on an either/or base regarding the API Beta bonus.
