Hey,

I logged in just now and was surprised to see the badge of anniversary. I just created my account earlier this week.

The stat on my profile is incorrect, i did not join years ago.

It says on your profile " Joined Feb 15, 2021 " which meets the conditions for that badge. I’m not sure why you think you joined today.

Your badges:

Time flies fast. I looked back at my email confirmation and I’m barely 24h old.

The Feb 15, 2021 is incorrect is what I am trying to say.

Hi @TempAccount,

You emailed our team in February of 2021, and since we integrate our inbox into Meta, doing so created [a staged user](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-user-statuses-roles-and-permissions/35171#staged-3) account associated with your email address.

Surprise! You’re older than you thought. 🎉
