Year Badge for Members

[capstain3ayb]

I received a 10 year badge but I have been a member for almost 22 years.  Is there no 20 year badge?

"Is there no 20 year badge?"

I can think of only one quote for this.

"Badges?,,,,,We don't need no stinking badges."

The badges are for Community activities, so they're based on when you first signed up for Community participation:

@capstain3ayb congrats on 22 years on the eBay boards! 🎆😊🎉 That's an amazing milestone!

You're right, we don't have a 20 year badge, but I'll look into getting one added.

Weird..... I got 3 badges today and I have been a member for years also.

No 15 year either.   Never mind---there is!  It was the 20 that was missing!

Thank you Sheila. 🙂

The anniversary badges are based on Community registration not on eBay registration. I joined eBay in 1999, then joined the Community in 2005 and got my 15-year badge in 2020 after being in the Community for 15 years.

According to his feedback page, the captain has been a member of eBay since May 2000, so he is about to celebrate his 22nd anniversary.   But the image of his Community profile, posted above, shows that he joined the Community in 2010. That's why he hasn't gotten his 15-year badge yet.

IIRC the discussion boards format didn't exist back in 2001. If so, then there's no 20-year badge because nobody has been on the boards for 20 years (yet).

Thank you for doing some digging here. You're totally right. 😊

Oh, that makes sense. I get it eBay "community". Not eBay member.

Well that's cool, thank you for the information. 🙂

Whays the difference between Community Registration and eBay registration?
