@SD08 I noticed something like that after reading this thread. Nifty little bug, though, and it completes my collection so I love it. Even if it is only a replica.

I was just looking at my badges and see that I was badged as an Oracle in July!

I didn't get the discount (and I don't expect it anyhow, thanks) but I did get the badge (don't takes away my precious, nasty hobbitses can't haves it)!

@Korth 

It was a glitch whereby the full set of July badges from top 50% right up to Oracle appeared in many members' pages. The only one actually earned by members is the one with a relative or absolute date attached to it, just above the "earned by" number.

So I was looking at the badges screen and wanted to make things clear.
One badge indicates 139 people got top 50% badge, and wasn't sure if this includes top 50% (61), top 25% (33), top 10% (11) ... Also wonder how many of us are within the community, and that will give us an idea of 'realistic chance' of being a top 50% contributor and above.

Thanks for all contributors! Well done!!!

Congrats, everyone!

Multiple community badges appear to be provided out during the month of July 2019.

I'm also getting all the badges on my account, up to Oracle. I'm not sure if I've deserved these yet, but I'll accept the rewards lol

But here I am again asking if everyone else sees their cash reward under the Community reward section? Yet again I don't. I first got top 25% for April and the $2 showed virtually right away under Community reward.  I have received Top 25% each month since but am yet to see the reward under Community. I use the same email everywhere and my renewal is 20 days away.

Something is broken somewhere but it isn't worth the effort to contact a moderator each month with all the back and forth to get the $2 credited.

Erroneous Community reward badges are nothing new.  I've been seeing them for as long as I can remember.  It's just that it's usually one random badge, and not all of them.  If there is no date or relative date reference stated underneath the badge, it has not been earned.

If anyone hasn't been paid the reward that lines up with a badge with a date listed under it, I would speak up.  If you've been paid too much, I wouldn't consider that as big of an issue.

---

I am getting them too. On the plus side it is interesting to see how many people got each badge for July.

---

Not sure what all the chatter is about extra badges... I just got the usual single one for this month. So maybe only some are seeing this?!

So anyone know exactly how many users there are. Because looking at those badges I got in error the numbers don't really add up. I mean if you count up everyone who got a top 50% badge or better and multiply by 2 it works out to about 250 users. But if you take all the people  who got a 5% badge and multiply by 20 it works out to 400 users. Do the same thing for 1% and it is 1100 users.

Or are Oracles not counted as real users or something?

First, Oracles are not counted. Second, I have not done the exact math but you are accounting for rounding. All that said, the formula is kept a mystery.

Congrats to all that have received rewards this month.  It is so great to see new names coming up and helping out and lowering their phone bills at the same time!!

@Andu_S  / @CS_Agent 

I had also mentioned in other thread as well

Badges and rewards look really messed up this month

Are you guys going to do a recount or do we keep what you have already given us?

[cavemantoronto]

Congratulations all reward earners

[saeliux]

I was thinking the same thing. Also wondering how much I needed to help to get to the next ldvel. I was top 50% on July. 

[kelvarnsen]

Nice work everybody. Not that I ever expect it to happen but I would love to see how these rankings break down. In April and May I was top 25% and in June top 50%. It would be interesting to know how close I was to the next level up.

[Dunkman]

Congradulations everyone.  Nice to see lots of people helping out.  Enjoy the rest of your summer.  

[RobertQc]

Congratulations! Many felicitations to all rewarded, especially those who have stuck around and continued your contributions. Keep up the great work! What a great community we have here! Happy to be part of the helping team. Thanks also to the moderators for their efforts especially lately as they deal with the higher than usual volume of support requests from system glitches.

@Anonymous 

Yes, some members reported having the same thing in their accounts, myself included.  Only one out of the bunch will have a specific date attached, which will be the one you've earned.  Also, these extra badges seem to be visible only to the account owner.

I noticed that glitch as well, would have been nice to actually get all those awards though xD
