I’ve got 4 people invited here on meta
> **[@watchmanmonitor](https://meta.discourse.org/users/watchmanmonitor/invited)**
and 8 people on my hosted discourse (/users/allen/invited)
and so I would think I’d have this badge (as would more than just @sam
[https://meta.discourse.org/badges/26/campaigner](https://meta.discourse.org/badges/26/campaigner)
Would someone check it out?

Yeah that does seem like a bug @sam.

The definition is 3 members, not 3 users
They got to be tl1

On my hosted site, I have invited 11 members and they are all TL1
What’s the difference between members & users?

Sorry I meant TL2
```plaintext
SELECT u.id user_id, current_timestamp granted_at
FROM users u
WHERE u.id IN (
SELECT invited_by_id
FROM invites i
JOIN users u2 ON u2.id = i.user_id
WHERE i.deleted_at IS NULL AND u2.active AND u2.trust_level >= 2 AND not u2.blocked
GROUP BY invited_by_id
HAVING COUNT(*) > 3
) AND u.active AND NOT u.blocked AND u.id > 0 AND
(:backfill OR u.id IN (:user_ids) )
```
Its meant to be a reasonably hard to get badge

Member is defined as TL2 throughout Discourse.

I guess that’s fine for meta, but it means that badge won’t work for my forums, where we don’t let members invite members.

In that case, you should disable the badge.

I think this is far too hard to get. This reads more like the gold level criteria.

I can bump it down to tl1 if you wish

Yeah that would be better, we want to encourage invites. Gold level of this can use TL2.

Change the text for “Champion” to be “Invited {n} active members” to indicate it’s stricter than the previous level. (It still means TL2, and it’s kinda weird terminology-wise, but whatever. Anyone have a better idea?)
