What is really mean by the top 0.5% badge?

[akrit]

It shows in my badges a top 50% badge and a top 0.5% badge? They both have different colors in the badges and I really don't know what exactly is a top 0.5% badge?

So, What do you mean by the badge top 0.5%? 

And although it says that I have only earned 4 badges so far but still in my badges it shows six different badges.

So, could anyone explain me on this as well?

The information about how the commnity rewards levels are determined might be vague on purpose. Public Mobile does not want members to know how exactly the community rewards are determined to try to prevent people from peforming Community activities that might not be in the best interest of all customers here, but that do play towards the way the the calculations are done.

Right now, the there isn't any way to earn the top 0.5% badge.  It has been replaced by the top 1% badge, although with a higher community reward payout amount. 

Top 1% earns the customer $15 off a 30 day plan.  It is the highest a community member can earn without being first promoted to the rank of oracle.

I don't have neither top 50% nor 0.5% badges?

By the way thank you a lot for the answer.

This helped a lot.

@akritIf you stick around a bit and try to help answer a handful of questions you will get top 50%

You haven't earned the badge until there is a date under it.  It will just show it and only you can see it in your profile.  I answered this in your other post as well  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Self-Serve/Community-Rewards/m-p/306618#M21321

I hve unmarked the post as a solution for this thread as well

@akrit

Click the little 3 dots on the post then select "not the solution"

[shartomjam]

 As stated in another post you also posted in, if you earned the badge, there is a date under it.  I doubt you have earned either of these badges as you have only been part of the community for less than a month.

So, if it is a mistake why do they show them?

Because public mobile has enough glitches and things to fix this is not considered an issue. Just ignore them, you are the only one who can see them.

This is what everyone else sees when they look at your profile.

EDIT- @Someone_here Wow beat me by 16 seconds lol.

[Someone_here]

Furthermore, you haven't earned any of those badges. If a date doesn't show underneath then you don't actually have them...

(EDIT: oops, sorry @RobertQc didn't meant to repeat, hadn't seen your answer...)

Why they show up: it's probably a bug in the programming 😉

Here are the badges you really have:

@akritThese are referred to as ghost badges, only you can see them, they are a mistake. 

However, normally these "Top % badges" are given for helping in the community and are explained here

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Rewards/Community-Reward/m-p/415#M5

[akrit]

No. Both 0.5% and 50% are different badges.

So, among what I am 0.5% of?

[Someone_here]

If you are in the top 0.5% (or 50%) contributors for a given month, then you get a community rewards counting toward your next plan renewal, and those badges!

However the exact formula is unknown... You need to contribute to the community, which includes posting, getting likes, liking, replying, getting solution accepted, etc.
