Mods/admin, there is a glitch to get two free badges that needs to be fixed.

I accidently clicked on the "Share" button in the top right corner today, and closed the small window that pops up for sharing.

Behold, I got the "Paperboy" badge, and I didn't share a thing. Seeing this, I figured I would investigate further. I saw that the "Daily Planet" required 10 shares, or would it also glitch with just pressing the share button?

Sure enough, by clicking the share button 10 times, and not actually sharing anything I was awarded the "Daily Planet" badge (a rare one to get?).

The problem seems to be the share button itself.

So anyways, fix this loophole and delete my badge

(I've probably actually shared dozens of THW stuff but never with that button).

Don't everyone jump on this at once

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Technically, it *would* be considered gaming the system, but on account of you reporting it in good faith, we'll overlook this.

I'm sure this is not working as intended. Will make sure the dev team knows about it though. Thanks for the heads-up!
