I don't recall ever getting an email from WCG about this, Me neither ![]() So far as I can tell the email was only limited distribution. Thanks for the C+P of the "Badge Earned -" text. it would appear that recruits have to actually crunch to be counted which is good. ![]() Why not reach out to them to ask them to start contributing today? What would be really useful is if Teams could reach out to members who are not contributing. Give us Private Messaging in the forum or make providing email addresses to Team Captains opt out rather than opt in. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by jonnieb-uk at Sep 13, 2014 11:39:18 AM] |

Presumably its only recruit one person to get a Bronze Badge, and it does appear that as hes Inactive (has never completed a unit) I'm not awarded my badge Bronze badge - for 5 friends recruited Silver badge - for 10 friends recruited Gold badge - for 25 friends recruited Ruby badge - for 50 friends recruited Emerald badge - for 100 friends recruited I've only recruited one person who hasn't yet done anything on WCG and it says I'm only 1 recruitee away from a bronze badge so it can't be 5, must either be 1 or 2, depending on whether they have to actually crunch or not ![]() |

I can confirm that these emails are being sent out. My contributions page also says its 5 for Bronze. Email was "Recruit your friends to power scientific research" dated 12/09/2014 09:24.
----------------------------------------I can confirm the following offensive comment is in the email "PS - Shh! Please don't discuss these badges with other World Community Grid members in the forums during the pilot. Thanks!" Await their apology. |

I can confirm that these emails are being sent out. My contributions page also says its 5 for Bronze. Email was "Recruit your friends to power scientific research" dated 12/09/2014 09:24 Thats really weird, have just checked my emails and did actually receive one which I never read (12/09/2014 06:10) and it clearly states this: As World Community Grid gets close to celebrating 10 years of advancing scientific research, we're excited to continue growing our community. Help us get there by inviting your friends to join World Community Grid today! To recognize your efforts, we're piloting new recruitment badges. You only need to recruit 1 friend to earn your first badge, so get started today! Bronze badge - for 1 friend recruited Silver badge - for 5 friends recruited Gold badge - for 10 friends recruited Ruby badge - for 25 friends recruited Emerald badge - for 100 friends recruited Notice how Bronze/Silver/Gold/Ruby are different to what others have said? am totally at a loss as to the hows or whys of this? have they perhaps decided 5 is too many to recruit for a Bronze Badge (lets face it, it is a rather high number for your first badge)?? Ian_UK, could you possibly double check your My Contributions page? not doubting you, just wondering whether they've maybe updated it since Jonnie_B posted that original C+P? I don't understand why else I'd be on a different scale to others? ![]() |

It may be that the differences in Bronze/Silver/Gold/Ruby recruitment numbers is the reason they didn't want anyone to tell others. They may be collecting stats on the number of new recruits, against what the emails state (1 or 5 or ??? members to get a badge), to determine optimum level for setting badges to maximise recruitment.
----------------------------------------The above may be total conjecture. Irrespective of reason I expect that it will change to 1, as it would create a negative backlash if people loose badges. |
