User Canapin is inquiring about two issues related to badges. They received a notification for the “Senior Tester” badge, despite already having it since 2019. They also question why they have the badge with only 19 topics liked, when the requirement should be higher.
Sam responds that the “Senior Tester” badge does account for deleted topics, which explains why Canapin has it with fewer likes. As for the notification issue, sam attributes it to the badge grant date being based on the minimum post date, which can be complex to accurately calculate.
The badge allows for deleted topics, which I think is a bit fairer.
This is tricky, the grant date is the MIN post date, to get an accurate date we would need some huge amounts of complexity. (windowing functions or some other fancy stuff, I can fix it, but it would take me an hour or 2, not sure it is worth it)
