@iPhoneUser  Since we can't post in the announcement now I'll keep the conversation going here. The Second badge confirms your reward. This glitch has given me huge insight into the community rewards. I can wait to analyze the numbers at the end of this month. Too bad im not a computer operating number cruncher it would be easier....but there's a few key members to drive my study.

       @AE_Collector  and @Ed404  because of their similar numbers the top 5 on the leaderboard on New Year's eve  and @GinYVR  and @wetcoaster  because they were on the bubble.....oooh I can't wait!

Thank you for the give away and good job!

My Solutions Category is Soluable.... very fluid.

 

AE_Collector

@AE_Collector  You're going to be my solution to the solutions portion.

 

@wetcoaster  You and @GinYVR  missed the top 5%(at least bravo wise) by one spot each 26th and 25th but your other stats will tell the story.

I'm on the bubble??!?? 

Anyhow, not sure if I'm a worthy test subject. I'm not able to be here 24/7, and usually only contribute if I can add to the conversation. Which all depends on my work load.

 

Having said that: Back to work!

@darlicious 

That gives you at least a couple of weeks to become proficient at using MS Excel to crunch the numbers on your Univac 5000. In the end, @Ed404 and I both wound up in the top 5% group this month unless there is another change.

@Tiana_V  Thank you for the explanation.

 

Woohoo! I made top 1%! Ok all you kids out there who want to know what it takes to make it to the top ranks? Due to an injury I've been off work....so I worked the first week of December and I've been on here pretty much full time since then. So don't quit your day jobs....unless you don't mind a monthly salary of $15. If you take my first week as a hobby then I made $5 a week. I'm scared to look at my stats to see the actual time on the community.

 


A call centre job in India pays better than that but the commute to work may kill you.

There is definitely an abnormally high count for actually awarded December badges (badges with specific dates attached).

December 2019
452 ppl recd rewards totalling $1329: Oracles=8, 1%=9, 5%=31, 10%=46, 25%=136, 50%=222

 

PM told oracles in our conference call on Monday that they ran into problems issuing badges for December, so we are seeing the strange result now. This is completely out of pattern from the previous months.


Those total numbers from December much more closely match what I would expect to see based on my recent comments about 1002 people on the Bravos list with 1 Bravo or more. I commented that there are at minimum 1002 "participants" in the community at that moment. Thus if 50% of them received an award of Top 50% or higher there should be about 500 awards given out per month but in reality there are usually 125 +/- awards given out. Yes I know, it isn't *just* Bravos but that is the only thing we have available info for to use as a basis.

Yes, I've been adding about a solution a month for three months straight now. And six now in my first year! (Don't want to brag 🙂 ).....

With roughly 20 accounts (including yours) the inital Community Reward you would have recieved reflected one of the lower badges. Once we discovered the issue we added an additional credit to the accounts to make up the difference between the initial reward and what you earned. You should see that come through by end of the day today. Sorry about all the confusion. Since we've identified the bug this time around, hopefully it's smooth sailing for next month!

Thanks. My reward is right in my account. And thanks for the link. Should have searched first.

When I look up your profile, I see that you have earn 2 badges for December: 5% & 10%

 

Lol I seem to be the only one who received just one badge so far.

When we were going through the process of calculating and applying rewards and badges this month we ran into a bug with the system that resulted in multiple badges being assigned to some accounts (a small minority). Rest assured, which ever badge you recieved that is the highest is the one you earned and your Community Reward will reflect that. 

 

As for the number of recipients this month, we experienced a large increase of both Community members and activity in December due to our More is Merrier 1GB and 400 LD minutes give away as well as our More is Merrier contest. 

 

Stay tuned for the full rewards announcement coming soon!

So no one believed me when I scoffed at the comment recently about "a problem with the badges" this month? My comment was that every three months or sober are awarded every badge that exists.

 

Ibam thankful for my Oracle Badge as well as my Top 1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50% Badges! Thanks Public Mobile and congrats to everyone else, particularly those who scored three or more badges this month!

Yes they are. The October badge counts were as follows:

1% badge - 2

5% badge - 8

10% badge - 11

25% badge - 28

50% badge - 53

 

Congrats on your first badge reward!


@gblackma  Normally there's 3 in the top 1%. I'm pretty sure there is a mistake in October's rewards. But otherwise that's a normal count.

 

@LovesToPM  There was speculation the delay was due to the numbers.....so you would think pm would have fixed this before releasing these numbers.


@darlicious 
Yes we would think. TBH, didn't really know what to expect for the December rewards due to the surge in overall activity from the contests and giveaways.
