Promoter Badge Removal Issue
The Promoter badge was removed from daydreamer after a recent update. simon investigated and found that the badge is revoked daily if the user who created the invite or the invited user is silenced. The badge will be re-granted once the silencing is lifted. In daydreamer’s case, the badge was re-granted after inviting another friend to the forum, but the exact conditions for retaining the badge are unclear.
I was curious about this too, so I had a look at the query that’s used for granting the Promoter badge. The query for granting the badge is run daily. When that query is run, a query is also run to revoke the badge from any users who don’t meet certain conditions. The badge will be revoked if either the user who created the invite, or the user who was invited to the forum are silenced. This is probably what happened in your case.
Since the badge query is run daily, once neither of the users are silenced, the badge will be re-granted. Keep an eye on your Badges page to see if the badge has been granted to you again.
i’m curious why he would have been silenced? or do you think he could have silenced himself?
i invited another friend to the forum and the badge was granted to me again but idk if he needs to post something in a certain time frame or something.
