Continuing a discussion with @ljpp at our forum. Technically speaking the current description is ok, but otherwise I think it needs to be changed. I think that it is clumsy and can even be mislead a user to think that the badge is awarded on the first anniversary only.
> This badge is granted when you’ve been a member for a year with at least one post in that year. Thank you for sticking around and contributing to our community. We couldn’t do it without you.
We ended up suggesting that the description should be changed to this.
> This badge is granted annually to celebrate the anniversary of your membership, provided that you posted once or more during the past year. Thank you for sticking around and contributing to our community. We couldn’t do it without you.

I generally don’t agree with “anniversary” as the terminology here. Perhaps it could say
> This badge is granted **each year** you’ve been a member with at least one post in that year. Thank you for sticking around and contributing to our community. We couldn’t do it without you.
But sure, feel free to change that copy on your instance via Admin, Customize.

We already made the local change for Finnish at our forum and I also made a more subtle refinement for the general Finnish locale.
The change you proposed clears any possible confusion, too. So it would be fine. I let native speakers decide what kind of change the English string needs.

⬆This makes more sense than ⬇

The former quote takes into consideration users who have been on the platform for multiple years but spent at least one year inactive.

포럼의 일부 사용자(96명)가 갑자기 지난밤에 기념일 배지를 받았습니다. 이 배지는 사용자가 가입한 기념일과 같은 특정 시점에 활성화되는 건가요? 우리 포럼에서는 당연히 그런 경우가 아니었습니다. 갑자기 배지를 받은 많은 사용자를 알고 있는데, 우리가 5월 5일에 가입할 가능성은 극히 낮으니까요.
사실 이 기능이 제대로 작동하는지 더 궁금합니다. 저는 기념일 배지가 10개뿐인데, 적어도 20개는 있어야 합니다(저는 항상 포럼 관리자였습니다). 10년의 격차가 있습니다(2005년에서 2014년). 몇몇 장기간 활동한 사용자의 배지를 확인해 보니, 배지를 받지 못한 해에 배지를 받은 경우도 있었습니다.
설정을 놓친 건가요? 아니면 이 배지의 한도가 10개인가요?
